Brentwood’s Bryce Harris Class of ’20 drops the hammer on Elmont!

December 21st, 2017

Remember we told you about this kid here first @realiluvBBall as a player2watch. While many seniors are not averaging Double Double’s this sophomore is doing it for 4 straight games (10 counting Fall league). That’s every game Brentwood has had this season. Harris is Brentwood’s Athletic wing player who does it on both ends of the court. 16 points 18 Rebounds 5 Blocks 3 Assist and 3 Steals in his last showing. Brentwood’s Head Coach, Anthony Jimenez  says “ I think a lot of people are going to take notice of who he is”. You can’t ignore him because he’s a beast!

Brentwood Long Island All-Star receives Player-of-the-Week Honors in the MEAC

November 16th, 2017


NORFOLK, Va. – North Carolina A&T State’s Femi Olujobi was selected as the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, the conference announced today.

Olujobi was the MEAC’s top scorer after the first week of action as he averaged 27 points in two games & also averaged seven rebounds and shot 57.6 percent from the field. The 6-8 redshirt junior from Brentwood Long Island, N.Y. opened the season with a 34-point, 10-rebound performance versus Greensboro College on Friday and followed it up with 20 points and seven rebounds at Clemson as the Aggies finished 1-1 on the week.

Femi is an iLuvBBall alumni and has more than paid his dues. It’s been a long road for Femi , who suffered a horrible leg injury in his junior year which caused him miss out what most may say is the most important recruiting summer of his basketball career & most of the first half of his senior year. But Femi still managed to secured a D-1 scholarship at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. He never really found his way over there. He spent most of his first 2 years rehabbing and trying to break out. In 2014-15 season he played in 26 games, making eight starts posted season highs with 9 points and 6 rebounds in first collegiate start vs. Western Carolina, averaged 2.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 12.5 mins per game in non-conference action. Then in 201516 he played in 30 games, making one start, averaged 1.4 rebounds per game, & scored season-high six points in back-to-back games at UIC and against Detroit.

Femi recently transferred to North Carolina A&T to player for Long Island alumni Jason Frasier from Amityville where it seem like a better fit for Femi. As he was the MEAC’s top scorer after the first week of action as he averaged 27 points in two games played. He also averaged seven rebounds and shot 57.6 percent from the field!

We wish him & his Aggies teammates all the best and good luck this season.

WHO IS ZED KEY?

June 29th, 2016

This power forward from Brentwood Long Island, NY is on his way to being one of the best big men in the class of 2020! Yeah you heard me, the best all around big man in his class. Not just because of his athletic abilities or his size! This kid has footwork, work ethic, and if try and play him too close he will give you the “work” (pun intended). We’ve been following this guy from early 2014 when he was invited to participate in the tryouts for the Alzheimer’s all-star Basketball team which usuallyy consist of upper classmen and the best ones at that. We were alerted of this kid from the founder of the classic himself Gordon Thomas. He said “Hey you guys know about that young kid in Brentwood, about 6’4″ as an 8th grader?” No we didn’t because he was under the radar playing locally and he wasn’t playing in the big name AAU circuit games as yet due to his age. Well we went to watch this kid and we weren’t disappointed. Not only did he compete against the rising juniors and seniors, but he dominated the run and made it to the last cut! This kid is the real deal and then some! We did some research on him and here’s what we found on Zed Key of the Brentwood Indians.
