On this day 10 years ago, the NYC 🏀 community lost a very special & talented baller, Tayshana “Chicken” Murphy. We all miss her to this day! 🙏🏾🕊
#RIPChicken
A very skilled forward,
@OnlyJWalsh
is a player that will take the
@SEC
by storm next season. His athleticism & shooting stroke are priceless. Catch him at
@RazorbackMBB
next season.
Thank you, Tom Konchalski, for your many years of service to the 🏀 community. You always greeted every person with that warm handshake and made them feel important & worthy & always gave people great advice. HSBI Reports will be missed around these parts.
RIP Tom Konchalski. A great scout and an even better person. Nothing that he's done will ever be duplicated ever again. There will never be another Tom K! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Over the weekend, Tom Konchalski stopped by his alma mater,
@Molloyhs
, to see the
@CHSAA_NYC
Freshman & JV 🏆 games.
SB: He graduated from
@Molloyhs
in 1964.
It is with great sadness that we inform you all of the passing of Jason Forde, an educator in the NYC school system & one of the co-founders of the PSA Cardinals program. He was a great soul & looked out for everyone he encountered. May his soul rest in power. 🙏🏾

Last season,

was a walk-on at
@SetonHallMBB

It’s always good to go home & visit before you head to college. Best of luck to

Our condolences go out to
@BassyS31T
& his family on the passing of their beloved son & brother, Daniel “Dan” Turner. Many may remember seeing him in the documentary, “Through the Fire,” as he was one of Sebastian’s biggest role models. May he rest in power. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
One of the best moments of our time at the 🍑 Jam.
@MokanBasketball
is not only a machine, but a family. It’s great to have coaches like
@LinkCoachP
that care about the young boys & want to mold them into responsible young men. That’s what it’s all about.
@NikeEYB
One of the biggest downfalls of the NYC 🏀 is lack of support. The picking & choosing of who to put on is wack. It’s a reoccurring theme. If they don’t have involvement in an event or any compensation, then they won’t support it. That’s why there’s little to no unity.
Our prayers go out to Antonio Sellers, a freshman forward at
@Hudsoncatholic
High School in Jersey City, as he battles his bout with brain cancer. May he have a speedy recovery.
For many years, this was the one rivalry that had NYC 🗽in a frenzy.
@RiversideHawks
& the
@nygauchos
were the two most powerful programs in the city. The jackets were immaculate & the players were top-notch. Nothing like this rivalry.
S/O to everyone that supported me throughout this year, even with this pandemic. As I go through another birthday, I appreciate all the support given thus far. Here’s to more years giving y’all more contact.

First & foremost, we definitely support both Kiyan & Christ the King. But this was a poor statement by Tom. Christ the King is rated nationally almost every year & is currently at No. 2 in New York State, just behind LuHi. They’ve had several alumni that have gone on to the

July 1996. In its inaugural year, the Peach Jam’s original name was the Peach Basket & it was first played at the Riverview Park Activities Center in North Augusta, South Carolina. So many future pros were in this event.

For over 30 years,

has been a walking encyclopedia for high school sports in the tri-state area. People over 21 years of age know about High School Weekly, the show that captured the sports scene well for this generation. Salute to a legend in HS sports!
Great to see the Rice High School tradition still alive. Although the Harlem institution is no longer around, it was the place that more than 10,000 young men came through to get an education. Behold the 🟢🟡!
#riceraiders
Prayers go out to Todd Myles. May he get well soon. Parents, if you’re unhappy with your child’s playing time, trying to confront the coach or pulling up to their home doesn’t help matters any. The best thing to do is pull them off the team.
It’s safe to say that
@SetonHallMBB
has one of the best student sections in all of college 🏀. They definitely pop out, especially for the big games! 🔵⚪️

Definitely a roster filled heavy hitters.

Very unfortunate event that happened tonight. Thank God no one was hurt. But nonetheless, children were there and youths were there playing a game. If you have disputes, keep it away from places that are supposed to be a safe haven for the community.

If there’s one player that is definitely a future pro on the
@UConnMBB
roster, it’s Akok Akok. He has a good jumper, great athleticism & lastly, is a great shot blocker.
A good piece about the high school talent from the NYC high school class of 1990. Four of these six that were pictured made it to the
