Fullcourt Press Focus: San Antonio

By Dinos Trigonis

(June 27, 2008)

 

Earlier this spring we had a chance to scope out several San Antonio and South Texas-area prospects (as well as a fine player from Arizona) at the 2008 Fullcourt Press San Antonio Skills Showcase at South San Antonio High School (San Antonio TX).  

Dinos Trigonis (Fullcourt Press & Hoop Scoop) ran the camp and Culver School (IN) head coach Alan Huss directed the skills session. 

Here we focus on several of the event’s top prospects.

Top Performers

 

Garland Judkins                 6’4”     2009   Christian Life (Humboldt TX)

Athletic combo-guard is an excellent slashing scorer that is a pesky defender.  Judkins is considering spending a post-grad year at Brewster Academy (Wolfesboro NH).
