Happy to report that Khyree Wooten, 6′ 2″ guard from Imhotep Charter (HS) and Hunting Park (AAU) is doing well in his senior year. This rising senior should have a breakout year. So far he is averaging 20 ppg and 6 rpg.
Lawrence Fejokwu has committed to play for St Peters next year. Fejokwu has spent the past two years at Sunrise Christian Academy. The 6′ 9″ forward came out of the Runhouse-Hoops project which is a collaboration between Runhouse.net and Claude Thompson’s Cape Coast Hoops team in Ghana. This summer he also played with Larry Waiters’ AAU Positive Image team in Philadelphia. He was also chosen for the senior all star team in the Hoop Group Elite Camp.
Fejokwu was recently interviewed at Sunrise and discussed his career goals.
Please join the fight to end malaria in West Africa. Our goal is to provide 1000 bed nets for malaria prevention to children. The team has already distributed 200.
The latest arrival for the team is 6′ 11″ high school underclassman Malik Kuwornu. Malik is attending Princeton Day School in Maryland. Early reports have him playing very well. Malik is a player with good offensive post moves and a strong desire to rebound. He is working very hard right now in the gym and is expected to be an immediate contributor for Coach Van Whitfield at Princeton Day. Princeton Day takes on a national schedule and we are sure the big kid will develop into an outstanding prospect.
Much thanks goes out to the whole team (Claude, Meme, Van, Rasool…) for gettting Malik here. We also hear Malik has a 6′ 10″ sister. Stay tuned……
Runhouse is pleased to announce the launch of the Runhouse-Hoops Reality Show “Hoop Dreams Extreme”.

6′ 7″ wing forward Reggie Agbeko has come along way in the one year he has been in the United States. Agbeko averaged 15 ppg and 12 rpg as a junior. We look for him to have a great senior year as well. This summer he exploded on to the AAU scene and has received many Divison 1 offers.
These are just a few of his highlights from his junior year in high school.
