Northeast Hoops Festival Schedule Finalized
The Northeast Hoops Festival will tip off Friday night at 6:10 in Connecticut College’s Charles B. Luce Fieldhouse. The tournament is expected to draw high numbers of college coaches as it will host many of New England’s top AAU programs.
The 17 and under division will be particularly impressive. Erik Murphy, Austin Carroll, Jordan Williams, n’company make the New England Playaz the favorites heading into the field. But the newly formed Nike Expressions Elite team featuring Mike Marra, Kyle Casey, and Tucker Halpern will also look to make a statement in their first tournament together.
