These games contestants consisted of all the top players from Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, & the Bronx. but last year 2016 for the first time Long Island was invited to participate thanks to the efforts of Gary Charles of the Fab 48, and Tom Feminella of Upper Room Christian school  who advocated on behalf of Long Island  and lead the Team LI in an upset over Team Queens in their debut in this event.
Well it’s that time again and Team Li will be hosting their tryouts for the Long Island representatives on Thursday April 6th at6:30pm at St Mary’s High School. There is No tryout fee. Just bring your game and be ready to leave it on the floor because ONLYthe BEST will be chosen to represent “Strong Island” in this prestigious and charitable event.

Justin Wright-Foreman Drops 30

January 2nd, 2017

Hofstra’s Justin Wright-Foreman dropped a career-high 30 points tonight in CAA Conference action against rival William & Mary. Unfortunately it was in an OT defeat as nemesis Daniel Dixon sticks a knife in Hofstra fans hearts once again with a 3 pointer at the buzzer from waaaay beyond the 3 point line. Dixon sent Hofstra home packing from the CAA Semi-finals two years ago with a shot at the buzzer in Double OT.

Back to iLuvBBall Alum via the HS for Construction, Justin scored his 30 in a variety of ways. He shot 10-15 from the field, was 3 for 5 from downtown, and 7 for 11 from the Free Throw line. He also tied his career-best with eight rebounds, and had 2 assists in 31 minutes of play.

This is Justin’s 5th game in a row putting up some good scoring numbers since going for 14 against powerhouse Kentucky. He is averaging 19.4 points per game in these last 5, including a then career-high 22 points against Stony Brook, to go along with tonight’s career-high 30 points. Justin & Hofstra will look to get back on track Thursday when it hosts James Madison at 7 p.m. Another good game like this, and hopefully the W, just may earn Justin the CAA Player of the week. ?
