Central Penn Ballers 16U rep the city WELL!!!!!

Coach Abby and Coach Holly
We live in an era where almost every coach is afraid to let their players out of there sight....  With good reason of course, kids are moving from school to school like the change underwear....  lol..  But the nice thing about the summer is these kids get the chance to play with their friends, relax, have a good time and enjoy traveling from State to State.....  






The Central Penn Ballers 16U team is made up of kids from all over the Mid Penn.....  It's represented by Harrisburg (James Ezel and Daquan Ware), McDevitt (Donte Vaughn and Justin McCarthur), Trinity (Brandon Kuntz, Dom Antenelli and Josh Trumpy), Susquehanna (Tahki Turner, Lawrence Holly and Rameek James), CD East's Anthony "AWright" Wright and Steelton (Anthony Ferguson, Jordan Millberry and Jaki Haywood)....  They even added rising 8th grader Larson Holly onto the roster which was a nice experience for him...

Central Penn Ballers 16U
This group took their talents to Florida for AAU Division 1 Nationals to compete against the Nations best....  They started their first 2 games with a full squad as Antenelli, Trumpy, Kuntz, Ezel and Ware didn't get in town yet...  Though they were short handed, they put up a valiant effort losing by 9 points and 3 points respectively....    Antenelli and Kuntz never made the trip but the others did...  Once they came, CPB went on a run winning their next 4 games as they played their way to the FINAL 4 in the Classic (Silver) bracket....  That was a huge accomplishment being that they were one of the last 12 teams playing on the last day and more than likely played their way into a top 40 ranking in the country.... 

Look forward to most of these guys having big seasons for their respected schools...  These are some of the top players in this area....  

I hope that they paid close attention to how some of the top players in the country carry themselves and how they approach a game....  Once these kids learn how to be mentally prepared for a battle, they can move to another level....
