Owusu & Bascoe Lead Vermont 2021

Posted Saturday, February 1st, 2020

It would be wrong to look at the race for the number one ranking in the state of Vermont as a competition between two teammates.  Instead, it is a matter of two teammates being head-and-shoulders ahead of everyone else in the class.  Nana Owuso came in as the top ranked player in the state, and has done nothing to lose that distinction. His defense may still be ahead of his offense but his length, the maturity of his approach, and continued evolution… READ MORE >
