The 2009 City of Palms Classic – Ballislife Webisode 3; The #1 Tournament in the Nation

by on September 2, 2010


Ballislife webisode 3 is here and bigger than ever! This time covering the 2009 City of Palms Classic featuring some of the top teams and players in the nation. The City of Palms has had a reputation of being the top High School tournament in the nation and lived up to it’s expectations for yet another year. Featuring some of the top players in the nation like: Austin Rivers, Corey Joseph, Tristan Thompson, Fab Melo, Myck Kabongo, Jabari Brown, Nick Johnson, Jordin Mayes, Dwayne Polee, Trevor Lacey, Aaron Brown, Mike Shaw, PJ Hairston, Winston Sheppard, Shannon Scott, Julian Royal, Dai-jon Parker, James Bell, Jamail Jones, Fuquan Edwin, Myles Mack, Mike Pool, Kareem Jamar, & Denzel Douglas. And some of the top teams in the nation like: Findlay Prep, Westchester, Winter Park HS, Butler, Milton, Montverde, Paterson Catholic, Penn Wood, St. Benedicks, & St Francis. We tried to make the webisode as balanced as we could but there were just too many players and teams so we couldn’t showcase some of the players as much as we would like to. Paterson Catholic went on to win the tournament over Winter Park High School.

That dummy ran on the court and Paterson Catholic won lol. I’m from Paterson Catholic and yesterday it was announced the school will be closing due to lack of tuition payments. So they can no longer be a New Jersey powerhouse. It’s so sad now they have to be separated.

I’m pretty sure Myck Kabongo (However you spell it) is from Canada.
I remember the hype about him in toronto.
