Here's a recap of some of the action that took placec and how it was promoted over the social media world.

Available 2022 @CtSpartansElite forward Joey Johnson has been impressing in the first half with his physical finishing ability around the rim. #NEHF Varsity

Isaac Ogutuga is an intriguing 2023 prospect to keep an eye on. Long and lanky forward from 401 Phoenix/Shea HS is a consistent threat from three-point range and can slash to the basket when attacking closeouts. #NEHF Varsity
