Justin Benton Hig...Personal Statement
Faithful Christian, become a successful NBA player, earn high school diploma and college degree. If basketball does not work out, then own my own business or become a sports analyst. My goal is to go to a D1 or D2 school, preferably D1, with a excellent academic curriculum and history. I would love to go to school near home, so that my family may attend my home games, but if any bigger schools that offer me scholarships are far away from home, I would happily take that offer. NCAA Eligibility # 1404673702.

- Hoopers Represent at Real Deal……Celtics and Tigers Battle in 15's Classic Published on Monday, 15 July 2013 19:57Andre Whitehead0 CommentsThe Real Deal in Nashville took place this weekend with the Memphis Hoopers making a big splash in the 17 and under division while in the 15's two Tennessee teams met for the title…details to follow. The Memphis Hoopers played their best tournament to date finishing 6-1 and gliding by the competition before falling to the Arkansas Hawks in the championship game of the Real Deal in Nashville event this past weekend. The Hoopers snatched early wins over the Tennessee Tigers, Nashville Elite and TBA Tennessee. Several Hoopers were applauded for their efforts on the weekend including several still unsigned seniors including Desean Dockery (Ridgeway), Ladarius Wilson (Whitehaven) and Jalen Smith (Sheffield). Coaches were very high on the contribution of rising sophomore Justin Benton (Houston). The 6’2 guard had several double digit assist games and provided some timely hoops for the Memphis crew in their search for the ‘ship.
