John Henault can shoot it from downtownThe Bay State Magic Boy's AAU Club had another productive Fall season as director and coach Kalon Jenkins played a competitive schedule that included stops at the Middlesex Magic, Rivals, Bay State Magic, and RI Hawks Fall events. The Bay State Magic teams have a tradition of playing hard and of being extremely well coached. Jenkins, who is the varsity coach at Randolf High School, is one of most respected guys in the business. Here is the list of the young men that shined for him this fall.
John Henault (6’2”, G, St. Bernard’s, 2011) – Henault is a terrific shooter from long distance who can draw fouls in the lane. He competes defensively and provides leadership to his teammates, while not being afraid to take the tough shots when games are on the line. Henault is currently getting interest from schools at the Division II and III levels.
Tim Gallivan (6-7, F, Walpole, 2011) – Gallivan works hard in transition and on the glass, while displaying a solid baseline touch out to 15 feet. He is being heavily recruited by top academic Division III schools in New England and New York.
Dan Powers (6-3, G, Catholic Memorial, 2012) – Powers is a tough, hard-nosed wing who scores in bunches from the perimeter and paint. He mixes in scoring from all three levels (3 point range, mid range and in close) while still proving to be an adept passer and solid rebounder.
Henry Vilfort (5-8, G, City On A Hill School, Roxbury, 2012) – Vilfort is an explosive athlete, who uses his first step and superior body control to finish in the lane. Vilfort also can be a terrific on ball defender, who dictates the pace of the game for his team. As he continues to learn how to run a team, the possibilities are great for this emerging talent.
James Levine (6-0, G, Natick, 2011) – Levine is a jack of all trades who fills in the blanks in a lot of areas for any team. James is a good shooter, tough competitor, terrific defender and winner who will be a valued rotation player for most any Division III program around.
Jameel Moise (6-4, F, Brockton, 2012) – Moise is a hyper-athletic wing player who can make the mid range jumper but excels on the glass and on the break. He is hard nosed defender who is extremely coachable. He is just scratching the surface of his potential.
Allen Lenard (5-11, G, Brockton, 2012) – Lenard is a scorer by trade capable for exploding for serious scoring binges in a short amount of time. When focused, he also is very solid on the ball as a defender and is working towards becoming a more complete point guard. He is one of those under the radar guys for this upcoming summer of 2011.
Shane Sims (6’6”, F, Brockton, 2011) – Sims is as talented a forward as there is in his class as there is so much he is able to do. He is a good scorer from 15-17 feet away from the basket, and he can pass and rebound the ball extremely well. He is also adept with his back to the basket and demonstrates an ability to set up his teammates with good passes from the post. When he realizes that and complements his talent with consistent team oriented focus, he will be something to behold.
