Atlanta Select >>>>>>> NBA. Congrats Number 8 Pick - NBA. (Updated)

Speaking about the NBA, Atlanta Select will have its first major candidate that will be in the top tier of the NBA draft.  Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, a sophomore at the University of Georgia, has entered the NBA draft.

Kentavious started his membership with Atlanta Select in our first season when he was 14 years old, coached by Coach Watson.

 Under Coach Watson he development the skills and received the Exposure that propelled him to the next level.

I remembered when Coach Watson took him and his teammates to play at Duke University and how the team dreamed on playing at the college level. With good grades and excellent athletic ability,  Kentavious dream came true.

Now his dream is to move to higher. Let's root for Kentavious as we watch the NBA draft tonight.

Good Luck Kentavious.


Update...Pick #8 Congratulations.

Happy Father's Day

Alario Harris - Select STAR!!!

Mr. Alario Harris is a young (15 year old), rising Junior at Parkview High School, (PHS), in Lilburn, GA who led his 2012-2013 Varsity basketball team, as starting PG, to a huge win against #1 ranked Archer High School.

He currently plays with the Mighty Atlanta Select Tenth Grade BLACK The Future Team under Head Coach Jon Mandeldove.

In the classroom, Alario takes AP History classes, Honors language Arts, Honors Spanish and maintained a steady 3.5 GPA.  He was recently nominated on behalf of PHS as Academic Athlete of the Year and honored by the Gwinnett County Tip Off Club with a plaque.

His schedule is quite full on a regular basis but he makes time to hang out with friends, read to his brother's 2nd grade class, acts as the assistant coach for his brothers' recreation basketball team and plus he is an avid movie junkie!

Alario personifies what an Atlanta Select student athlete is all about. 

We can gladly say; Alario -Just Go Select!!!

The Ultimate Champions. - The Pennys

Congratulations to Head Coach Richard Penny and his son Assistant Coach Kaleb Penny for receiving their degrees at graduation from Clayton State College, Saturday, May 4, 2013.  The Pennys' coach the Mighty Atlanta Select Eleventh Grade BLACK Team.

True champions by example. Coach Penny while during class work toward his degree, guided his team  through several major Exposure tournaments to include several Big Shots and the Bob Gibbons.  Additionally, he takes the time to tutor his student athletes to ensure that they are prepared to graduate from high school on time and with good grades.

As his team visit the different cities he ensures that a tour is taken to a local college campus to expose his student athletes to a typical college environment.  He is fulfilling the goal of Atlanta Select by  inspiring his players to pursue a DEGREE OF HIGHER EDUCATION AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL.

The Pennys' are practicing what they preach.  Our congratulations again, to Coaches Richard and Kaleb Penny for this notable achievement.

Just Go Select!
