Eight of Bermuda’s Youth National Basketball team members achieved All-Star status at Keystone State Camps this week. Just one year ago, Bermuda earned only seven All-Stars at the camp, including several players who were unable to return to Keystone in 2015.
Charles Peters, Director of the BBYF shared his thoughts on the selections, “The fact that we had eight players selected as all-stars this year is an astonishing result when you consider the adversity that the players have faced going in. We had four players go down with injuries before or during the first day of the event. One of those players was selected as an all-star last year and almost certainly would have done the same this year if he remained healthy. We also had several players graduate from high school meaning that most of our all-stars this season were new to the division that they played in and thus were playing against older and more seasoned competition. The results really show just how much the programme and its players have developed in just one year.”
