Laguerre Heads to Miami for All-Star Game
New Hampshire native Jordan Laguerre is in Miami, Florida this weekend for the annual Jack Jones Shootout, one of the nation’s premier all-star games.
This year’s game is being held at the American Airlines Arena, home of the Miami Heat.
Selected players and coaches arrived in Miami on Friday, where they had their opening practice and then watched the Heat take on the Philadelphia 76’ers.
Saturday began with a community service project as the all-stars coached in the Jack Jones Shootout Camp for Underprivileged Kids before later returning to the practice floor and then concluding the day with a player banquet.
The All-Star game is set to tip Sunday at 1:30. Following the game the participants will stay at the American Airlines Arena to watch the Heat play for a second time as they host the Houston Rockets.
Laguerre was part of a loaded field that included players committed to all six BCS level conferences, including the likes of Nick Johnson (Arizona), Kye Madden (Arkansas), Bobby Parks Jr. (Georgia Tech), and Amir Garrett (St. John’s).
Laguerre, who committed to UMass last summer, led New Hampton to the Class AAA finals this year as well as a spot in the National Prep Championship field. He was also the runner up in the voting for AAA MVP.
