Congrats to Zhane Irby on her verbal to Canisius!!!
10/9/14 - 07:49 PM

Working hard, athleticism, and perservering is what could make a division 1 player.. Even players not on the radar can create value for themselves just by working hard, showing effort, and never quitting.. This is the definition of Zhane Irby, who has worked herself into a hell of a D1 prospect.

Zhane Committed to the University of Canisius and she could not be happier.. After spending a weekend at the school, and getting to know the staff, she felt like that was the place for her.. Zhane had Maine, Liberty, LaSalle, Seton Hall and a couple more schools she was interested in but she is very excited about her decision to choose Canisius.. Zhane is a high academic student who will probably major in finance and will potentially get time in her freshman

Nijiera Addison is a HS Basketball State Champion at Rancacos Valley in New Jersey. She is a rebound machine who is relentless on both the offensive/defensive boards. She has an excellent touch from the line and she knows how to create contact..

Her hands have gotten considerably better and her foot work is starting to get better as well. She is a workaholic and a gym rat which could only lead to bigger and better things. She is starting to become an even better low post defender.

Nijiera is an Honor Roll Student who has been having aspirations of going to schools such as Yale, Stanford, Columbia, Brown Cornell and her grades shows she has what it takes. Now she wants to show the coaches that she can bring her rebounding and defending to their

Ahyana Green(Bishop Loughlin 2016) is a 5'11 Combo guard who can get in and out of the paint at will. She is starting to add a jumpshot to her game so it is going to be hard to guard her soon..She has a long wingspan which can be a nightmare defensively on the wings..

Her decision making will get better with more court time.. She is very aggressive offensively and is not afraid of the moment. Once she slows down and let the game come to her she is gonna be one hell of a player..She will be playing at "Battle of the Boro", USJN DC, and Big Apple T.O.C., with "YuNG &Tha Restless" Soph Elite

Jonise, on the right in the picture, is a quick, athletic, and underrated point guard who is super expolsive off the dribble, but is an incredible lock down defender.. She also placed very well at the East Coast Track relays which helps her with her speed and explosiveness.. Her G.P.A. is 3.0 which shows she is taking care of business on and

HARD WORK PAYING OFF!!!
9/1/13 - 12:26 PM

She went from a virtual unknown athletic skate boarder(who is a good skater by the way), to becoming one of the top players in the country. Through all her hard work Maria Backman has now made one of her first life changing decision. She is going to be studying/playing at the University of Michigan. After taking the visit she said she was "Overwhelmed by the size, the great academics programs, and the alumni. I want to be apart of something great after basketball, and I felt this would change my life completely."

Maria is a hard worker with a relentless drive to be great. She is an excellent student athlete who will excel in the classroom at the highest level. From Coach Rock, Coach Luck, and the whole New Heights family, Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

Sydney Zambrotta Christ the King 2016

Expectations are what everyone talks about before the 2nd viewing period.. From the interest/offers that have been presented, the girls have more than exceeded even their own expectations.. Known now to the AAU world as the "Comeback Kids" these ladies have shown that never giving up produces tangible results..

The game of the Summer so far took place at "Run 4the Roses".. Down 15with 3:21 left in the game, against SMAC Elite, the girls made a furious comeback to get a well deserved overtime win in front of more than 70 coaches, and screaming spectators as they watched in awe..
