After Mount Vernon and New Rochelle renewed hostilities in a sold-out late-January jumpoff, with hordes of fans hawking security guards to let them inside New Rochelle’s jam-packed gym (fans were forced to wait outside in weather more brick than John Starks in Game 7 last Saturday, as every seat in New Ro’s standing room only gym was spoken for 45 minutes before the heavily-billed battle), Section I’s storied rivalry resumes this afternoon at Mount Vernon High School.
It’s Mount Vernon, the historic hoops hotbed of the 914 real estate.
It’s New Rochelle, a football school that’s re-emerged as regal basketball recruiting waters for scouts and coaches to test and approve.
It’s an endless tale of battles. And that’s why it’s intriguing.
As an Ohio native, I love to hear stories about “Living Legends” who played ball. Coming out of Roth High School, Dwight Anderson was a standout for Kentucky and USC. His stint in the NBA did not last long because of drugs and alcohol, yet his game and personality is not forgotten. I read an article in the Dayton Daily News that highlights Anderson’s life and I suggest that you guys check it out.

…Imagine if the Knicks could go back in time. Do you think they would draft Brandon Jennings or take David Lee, Chris Duhon and ride with first rounder Jordan Hill again and get funky with the pick?
Wanted to see the future of the “L,” so catching Nate Robinson’s first start against the player Bobbito dubbed “The Take Over” was a must see. Both are possessors of premium playground ball style with Nate showing his skills at EBC America in 2006 and Jennings earning the 2007 co-MVP at the Boost Mobile Elite 24 Game.
Robinson’s first start at the point yielded some solid results. He involved his teammates and got the rock to Lee, who ended with a season-high 32 points and 15 boards.
The Knicks were down five with a minute and change left in the third quarter when Nate hit the bench. Duhon came in with an immediate turnover, which led to a vicious one-step-inside-the-extended-dotted-line cram Read More »
C.J. Leslie dropped a light 16 in a win Wednesday night.
RALEIGH, N.C.- The school is K-12 and still has just 172 students. Its gym seats only a couple hundred at most. Before games, fans and players stand for a prayer. There are several ways in which Word of God HS just outside of downtown Raleigh doesn’t fit the build of a typical national power. But with a new head coach and some of the top talent in the state, John Wall’s alma mater is quickly becoming just that.
While replacing last year’s #1 high school player is a daunting task at the very least, guards Dezmone Wells, a junior who has already committed to Xavier; Bishop Daniels, a junior who has offers from Wake Forest, NC State and Memphis, among others; and Stephone Drane, a senior who has committed to Western Kentucky; have made first-year coach Erasto Hatchett’s transition fairly smooth.

When Sanders was burying medium-range jays, dialing in from downtown, or cutting into the nooks and crannies of defenses to drop teary left-handed floaters during BASKETBULL’s National Invitational in Springfield, Mass., and New Heights’ Summer In The City, his class of 2011 status was an afterthought.
This oil-smooth young gun plays with swag, savvy, and nerveless poise beyond his years.
Basketball, broken down to its simplest compound, is about scoring more buckets than the team you’re playing against. The Semi-Automatic refers to players who leave bodies in their wake with their innate ability to get buckets. And last night, Kobe Bryant added another jewel in the crown of his stellar career by becoming the Los Angeles Lakers all-time leading scorer, thanks to his 44-point outburst against the Grizzlies.
