Four NY Teams @ NIKE Peach Jam
One of the biggest tournaments in high school basketball will have heavy New York flavor this year as the state sends 4 teams to Peach Jam, considered one of the most prestigious events in grassroots basketball.
The Nike Elite Youth Basketball League features 4 programs originating from New York — PSA Cardinals, NY Renaissance, Albany City Rocks and NY Lightning — and they all qualified for the event, which will jumpstart the July live periods as top college coaches spend a handful of days in North Augusta, S.C.
Here’s the skinny on each team’s week of pool play, including a Friday matchup between 2 in-state foes:
