We live-streamed a bunch of games on www.indilockers.com and gained a lot of new subscribers to our YouTube channel.  Make sure to subscribe so you don’t potentially miss out on a key 2022 game with a team on the road to the #IndiWorld3 championship.

This was my 3rd year in Portland, OR checking out some of the top middle school teams and talent in the nation, and my 2nd with the Nike GymRats organization.  Again, it never disappoints.  We even got a treat of some snow in Oregon but all the heat was in the gym (corny lol).

The championship game of the event ended up being the best and that is the best thing you can ask for.  Team FOE 2022 from Dallas, Texas ended up defeating Team Teague in OT on a buzzer beater floater by #12 Michael Nieman.  The game was sent to OT by a huge game tying 3 by Reggie Bass.
Last year, Team FOE 2022 had one of the best teams event led by 2021 “Baby Shaq” and Arthur Kaluma.  Josh Woodson – director of Team FOE 2022 maintained that they were “new name/same game.”  They lost to Team Teague in the opening game of the event by 1.  Team Teague was led by Jalen Blackmon, a dead eye 3 point shooter from deep.  This year’s squad had a more balanced attack with depth, and a strong leader in Tayshawn at the 1.
A very STRONG heady PG that defends well and has a flare for key buckets when the team needs it.  He averaged 11.25 ppg in the event.  Markeitz wins the MVP averaging 11 ppg but more importantly, he hit 2 BIG 3’s that needed to answer Team Teague’s comeback late in the game.  All in all, a great measuring point for the rest of the 2022 teams including 20 teams in the #IndiWorld3 division, with one team traveling as far as Detroit (Detroit Select).
  • We got 135 IndiLockers in, and streamed most of the games.  Scouts have been on the site reviewing players and ranking them.  Check it out – www.indilockers.com – Gamechanging technology for youth basketball.

Other Notable 2022 Players:
