Congrats to Prince Ali

[3uconn]

He and his team just won the 3A State Championship in Florida! He had 20 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals today on his way to winning MVP. His team ended up 33-0 on the season and there is a chance that they get a bid in the National High School Championship Tournament televised by ESPN. A huge congrats to him!

Here's a picture of him and his team. He is number 23 and is holding his MVP plaque:

I criticize when guys don't win so I gotta give props when they do. Congrats to Prince and exciting to think he's only a Junior.

ESPN just took away a star and dropped him 20 rungs on the ladder. Goodman thinks hes a chucker.

 

[Chief00]

Quite frankly, all he does is win ball games.

I hope he leaves some room in his trophy case.

Here's the Miami Herald article on the game:

From the article:

“This brings a lot together for me,” Ali said. “It solidifies what I have been doing lately. The one missing piece was the state championship. This right now is my greatest accomplishment, other than me committing to UConn.”

Future stars showcased at Florida Spring Exposure Series event

Best Wing Passer

Prince Ali (Pembroke Pines, Fla./The Sagemont School)
2015, SF/SG, 6-4, 180
Committed: Connecticut
Ali is known for his ability to play above the rim on the break and slash to the rim. But what was most impressive was his ability to pass, not only in the open court but in the half court. He displayed excellent court vision as he attacked by delivering the ball on time and on target in drive, draw and kick or dropoff situations. Ali will have to be consistent and continue to develop his jump shot, which has improved. His overall upside is tremendous.

Yes. It looks like he played very well this past weekend at that camp. Reggie Rankin and somebody else tweeted out they loved what they saw from him.

On another note Prince's team is now ranked 4th in the country!
