RICKY WILLIAMS  1 /2  12 

5’11

HAYWARD
All League, All Metro, Slam n Jam Super 100,NorCal Preps Top 40 (Sr)

Rated as one of the Best point guards in Northern California. A combination of speed and quickness and great acceleration from Ricky always puts pressure on the defense. Very talented , multi skilled, can score from anywhere……..major handles….can penny & dish with the best at this level,…  Can get up court in a hurry, has excellent vision. Getting off to a good start this season scoring about 28 pts per game for the Farmers. A special player really starting to develop. Should get D 1 looks

LONNIE ADDISON   1 /2 12  5’8  CASTLEMONT
All League , S N J Super 100, OAL Top Scorer
Nicked named "Man Man ", but the players in Vegas at the Summer Classic tabbed him "Baby Iverson" and he played like it , he avg.. 17pts over 5 games. Constantly pushing the ball to the basket from the wing and either scoring or getting fouled, and taking punishment like I haven’t seen from a player of his size, and then he would change the pace and go to trey’s and mid range pull jumpers. Man does not like to lose he has a winning attitude, that carries over to others. Will adjust to more serious point guard duties at the next level.
LEVAR HALSELL   3/4/5 11  6’10 

SAN LEANDRO

S N J Super 100 , Nor Cal Preps Top JR, Pirate Holiday Classic-All Tourney

Having worked very hard this past summer Levar has finally started to do what we knew would eventually happen. Has been averaging about 10 pts per game. Has major upside. Can run the court, block shots and rebound, should have a very good season. A very nice 10-15 ft shot. Working the boards much better Levar should attract D 1 attention…and he has another year.  Was named to the Pirate Holiday Classic-All Tournament team while scoring 17 pts with numerous rebounds and blocked shots.

LONDON YOUNG   1/2/3 12   6’5

Northgate

Top 40 Nor Cal Preps, S N J Super 100 ,Skyline College Tournament-All Tourney, Pirate Holiday Classic-All Tourney

Could be the best, unknown guard in Northern Calif. Has major skills from the point position, excellent passing skills and vision, can handle defensive pressure and can penetrate to the basket with good vertical inside to score, deceptive to the basket. Very intelligent player, because of his size can and will play point forward as we employ that offensive scheme, some times we might even move London to 4. Have been encouraging London to be more offensive. Should get D 1 attention.

RASHAUN PURYEAR  1/3/ 4  12   6’8

Northgate

S N J Super 100, Skyline College Tournament- All Tournament Pirate Holiday Classic-MVP

Another player that stock has really risen, Rashaun has worked very hard to perfect his game to another level. He is not the same player as last year. Running the court better, scoring around the basket with a variety of moves that are working for him . His speed and intensity level has vastly improved.  Played big time in Vegas at Summer Classic. His scoring with the Magic has more than doubled since joining team. Has gotten off to a good start for the 2001-02 season, his was named MVP of the Pirate Holiday Classic while scoring 23 pts in final game. Has handles and will play some point forward when we go to that scheme.

DARIUS PARKER  1/2/ 3 12 6’3 

Oakland High

Top 40 NorCal Preps ,All League, All Metro, Slam n Jam Super 100 Pump Brothers All Star , NorCal Preps Top Jr.,Nike All Star Team

Darius was ranked 4th in post summer NorCal Preps top 2 guards. Known as a deadly outside shooter he also has the ability to score off the dribble and penetrate. Made The Pump Bros All Star team from the point guard position. Understands the game and will be very instrumental in our pressure defense. Rebounds very well for a guard. Darius, a starter for the Magic was a good reason why we beat the Soldiers. Hit the final basket in the Championship game over the Soldiers 1. Got the rebound from a missed shot and put it back as the clock went off. We win by 3. Made the All Star Team 9/21/02 @ The EBO/EA Sports “Sweet 16” in Fresno. Should get D 1 Attention September 29. 2002.

ARMANDO SURRATT   1/ 2 12    5’10 OAKLAND TECH
Streets & Smiths All American (HM), All League, All Metro NorCal Preps # 1 Rated Point Guard, PAC West Hoops-All West Coast

Without question the best Pt Guard in Northern Calif. He has speed, quickness and explodes off his dribble to dominate his opponent. Fast as greased lightening is the crossover as he goes pass to score. His understanding of the game is beyond his years. Mondo has very good vision and seems to know where his teammates are going on the court. Some think he’s small, but don’t be fooled he is a major talent that could dominate at the next level, in the right situation. Although listed as point,Mondo does play on wing at Tech, a prolific scorer from anywhere. We’re mighty happy to have Mondo & Duce on board with The Magic.

KENNETH SMITH   2/3/4 12   6’4

OAKLAND TECH 

North American Youth Sports-All Tourney, All League, S N J Super 100

Has the reputation as one of the top defensive players in Northern Calif. He can ignite a team from the defensive side , runs the court extremely well and has very quick hands and can block shots. Nicked named "Duce", he can also score, especially in the open court. Duce can also hit the 3 pt shot. Another player that doesn’t like to lose and takes it personal. Duce will work very well in our pressure defense. Can also rebound, has major hops.

CHRIS GREEN   3/ 4 12  6’5  CASTLEMONT
Las Vegas Summer Classic- All Tournament, S N J Super 100

Played big time in Vegas. Chris averaged 24 pts per game over 5 games.  He can play either the 3 or 4. Much stronger than he looks, a power rebounder with exceptional vertical. Excellent shot blocker for his size.  Very strong off the dribble, can also hit the 3 pt shot and the mid range J.  Another player that can ignite a team from either end of the court.

DONTE GAMBLE 1/ 2 11 5’7

FREMONT

The 5’7 mini guard, has handles and can hit the three point shot. Donte will Also lead our pressure defense. Can get up court in traffic and dish. Expecting Donte contribute to our winning cause.
