China wins the National Jam Fest Skills Competition
China Crosby honed her game on the playground of Mullally Park in the Bronx. Back in Bounce issue #16, she demonstrated a mean triple move – a hesitation, to a spin and then a backleg-between-the-legs-dribble that was one of “How We Do’s” best skill demonstration segments. Big burn is in her future at the point guard position at Virginia. Knowing her drive and playground style, Crosby will definitely be one of the top freshman performers in the ACC real soon.
As we ramp up for our upcoming Jim Couch Girl’s Uptown Challenge All-Star Game, some of the top city players will be participating. Two with mad NYC handle are Jefferson’s Alicia Cropper and Patterson Catholic’s Starr Breedlove. Last year’s MVP, super-smoove Teneka Whittaker, will be waiting. The Roster for Saturday’s Games at Kennedy H.S. in the Bronx on October 24, 2009 are super strong with one girl from Westchester listed at 6′7″.

I’ve seen her game for a minute…she’s on her way! Virginia (also where legend Dawn Staley attended) is a great choice!
She’ll have no problem in the ACC with that handle.
