UPDATED: All teams headed to Spooky Nook
All eight NEPA Elite teams will be playing together for the first time this weekend.
The five boys teams and three girls teams from the new AAU basketball club out of Riverfront Sports in Scranton are entered in the Hoop Group’s Summer Jam Fest at Spooky Nook Sports in Manheim Township, Lancaster County.
Five of the teams, including NEPA Elite’s three entries in the Hoop Group Showcase League, begin Friday night. The others join in Saturday and all teams compete both Saturday and Sunday.
The NEPA Elite Coyle 17U boys, NEPA Elite Clark 17U girls and NEPA Elite 16U boys team, coached by Enrico Mastroianni, are all part of the Hoop Group Showcase League, which puts top teams against each other throughout the various Hoop Groups summer events.
NEPA Elite Coyle 17U and NEPA Elite Carra/Lewis 17U take unbeaten records into Friday’s action. The Coyle team went 3-0 two weeks ago in the Pennsylvania Tip-Off, a Hoop Group event at East Stroudsburg University. The Carra/Lewis team went 5-0 at the same time while playing in the Summer Tip Off at Spooky Nook.
The NEPA Elite 16U girls team, coached by Morgan Birmelin, also opens Friday night.
Joining in Saturday are the NEPA Elite Basalyga 17U boys team, the NEPA Elite 15U boys (Ryan McGoff coach) and the NEPA Elite 14U boys (Corey Joyce coach). The 14U boys will be playing up in a 15U division for the weekend.
NEPA Elite teams have each played in one event, posting a combined 21-9 record. That includes 14-2 by the teams in the oldest age group (17U) and 12-3 by the girls teams.
NOTE: The schedules for the NEPA Elite Clark 17U girls and the NEPA Elite 16U girls contain some from Friday and Saturday changes from what was originally released.
