New weekend, same full baseline.
Sundays in October at EST events 🏀

Extended weekend, and with 10/15 fast approaching, if things haven’t hit full speed yet, they’re about to for all college programs. Could’ve been easy for coaches to pump the brakes, but great to see many prioritizing the EST Fall Showcase session at Union. And most held it down from start to finish 🫡

Not all pictured as they posted up across the gym, but represented in attendance included Daemen, Castleton, Colby-Sawyer, Cortland, Ithaca, MCLA, Mount Holyoke, Mount St. Mary, Nichols, Oneonta, Plattsburgh, Potsdam, RPI, St. John Fisher, St. Lawrence, Union, Adirondack CC/Prep Girls Hoops, and Fulton-Montgomery CC. Several had multiple on staff there, and more that weren’t in attendance are signed up to receive the game film.

People often ask me about ‘exposure’.
- if you pulled up this year & competed, appreciate you! and you know what it is.
- if you’re in Upstate NY or other parts of the EST coverage region, had the chance to get to an event this year & didn’t, well… 🤷🏻‍♂️

2026 EST event season in the books.
Back at it in Spring 2027 ⏳

Traditional event pic 📸

One last run for 2026, and I wouldn’t have wanted it to wrap up any other way. 100 strong over two sessions from across New York and into New England & PA. Full row of college coaches - and many STAYED to the finish - says a lot about the level & how everyone approached the day.

Union College, where everything EST started in the mid-2010s… great to put a bow on Year 12 here as well ✔️

THANK YOU to all that made the 2026 EST Fall Showcase Series a success!
