The Runhouse-Hoops Project landed another prize recruit today when the big fella arrived via bus. This kid is very athletic and blocks shots by the dozens. In the first workouts and scrimmages he has also displayed a nice assortment of post moves. We will be looking to place him for this summer or fall semester.

The Boys Club defeated the Belfied in an exciting DeBose & Pembleton High School Classic. The final score was 60-48 but the game was close most of the game. Carl Wallace led the way for the Boys Club with 15 points while tournament MVP Tyree Smith had 26 for Gratz. Smith was spectacular in each game. The 6′ 5″ athletic swingman displays alot of potential and can score from anywhere on the court.

Former Southern Illinois big man Kobby Acquah dropped Runhouse a line this week to let us know that he is “excited about what we are doing for the young kids in Ghana.” Acquah hails from Cape Coast, Ghana and completed his collegiate career as a Southern Illinois Saluki. Prior to playing at Southern Illinois he played at Clark University where he was second in the nation in blocked shots. Acquah is now an engineer while rehabbing a knee injury.

Acquah has offered to assist our players with mentorship and has already spoken to them this week. He is planning to return to Ghana in December and visit the Runhouse-Hoops camp in Cape Coast. We at Runhouse wish Kobby the very best and are glad that we have established a friendship with him.
