In 1995, TEAM JAM participated in the Cage Classic in Solon, Ohio. We had a team from representing the greater Akron area as well as one from Chicago. Mike Kuykendall, organized and ministered to the team from Chicago. One of the teams our Chicago team competed against was TEAM Michigan. This team included six of the top ten high school basketball players in the country. Those players included Kevin Garnett (now of the Minnesota Timberwolves), Robert Traylor (Milwaukee Bucks), Antonio Smith (Michigan State), Albert White (Missouri) and Mateen Cleaves (Michigan State). Needless to say, TEAM Michigan overwhelmed us. However, our athletes benefited from the experience because of the number of great college coaches that were there in attendance. The week produced a number of enjoyable memories that the following pictures and video exhibit.
1995 Ohio Team Jam members included Zach Bush (Smethport, Pa. and Philadelphia Textile), Andy Bush (Smethport, Pa. and Canisius U.), Mark Adams (Akron Central-Hower by way of Canada), Scotty Stewart (Akron Ellet, Medina First Baptist, and Gannon U.), Matt Wadle (Medina Highland HS, Edison St. Community College), Adrian Stockman (Medina HS), Sheldon Reid (Akron Central-Hower HS and Canada), Dante Booker (Akron Ellet HS, and Garden City Community College), Matt Giovaninni (CVCA HS and Malone College), Ethan McPeak (Revere HS), John Smith (Kent Roosevelt HS and Grambling), Kyle Mraz (Revere HS and Cedarville College).
TEAM JAM's 1995 entry also included a second team
(pictured above in red). This entry included Ellet stars Joe
Board and Tony Baultrippe, Jovan Carter from Akron Buchtel and
Thomas Hodge from Medina. |
