ATTENTION Coaches: Roy Williams was once asked, “What would you do differently if you could do it all over?” His eyes immediately welled up with tears and his bottom lip started to quiver. “If I could do it again I would do a much better job prioritizing my family.”

25 points on 11/12 shooting for the Sunrise PGB wing on opening night of EYBL. @_Trayjacks nitter.gq/coreyevans_10/status/9…
A breakout performance for @nikemeanstreets forward Tray Jackson. Modern day faceup 4 with ball skills, a jumper and athleticism. Not be surprised to see the high majors come on hard

29 of the 32 first-round draft picks were two-sport athletes and 14 of the 29 were three-sport athletes. Next time your personal trainer or your coach tells you you need to specialize in football, maybe you really need a new trainer or coach.

Detroit Western’s Tray Jackson (22 pts) had quite a season and he ended it with another strong performance (watch the video) even though he was double teamed. Unfortunately, he needed more help to win this game. You are fun to watch @_Trayjacks @WesternHoops – at Birmingham, MI

In his final high school basketball game, Terrell Jones (@itstkadee) scored 20 pts. and fouled out late in the 4th. Eufaula lost the state championship by one point, but this kid left it all out on the court. Not a dry eye in the room after what he said at the podium. @EufaulaCS
