Shoutout to a Few of our Day 1s
Loyalty is rare — and we’ve been blessed to have it in these young men. While there are more Day 1s in the JustHoop family, today we want to shine a light on three hoopers who have been with us since their elementary school days. Since then, they’ve trusted us to be part of their journey, and for that we are forever inspired to continue showing up for them in any way we can.
Lorenzo (Lo Lo) – From the little guy with his shot behind his head to becoming a high-level guard who can knock it down from anywhere, Lo Lo has truly embodied “Doing WORK.” Athletic, versatile, and unselfish, he can finish, distribute, defend, and lead with effort every single possession. What makes us most proud is that through all his growth, he’s stayed true to his character and core values of being a giving and heartfelt individual. High school is just the next stage where we know he’ll continue to inspire with his presence.
Marcello (Cells) – The definition of heart and hustle. Off the court, he’s the team comedian, but on the court he’s all business. Every team needs a player like Cells — someone willing to do whatever it takes to help the team succeed. Diving for loose balls, rebounding, defending, making the extra pass…he does it all. This past season, his offensive game exploded, proving he’s a true two-way player with a high IQ. Can’t wait to see him shine at the next level.
Tyler (T-Time) – Our first-ever free day camp back in 2017 had a little guy named Tyler who would go on to inspire one of the JH motto “Capital C” for Composure. Since then, he’s become one of the most composed, skilled point guards we’ve coached. A true leader on and off the court, Tyler can score at will, knock down shots, and use his speed and handles to create for himself and his teammates. His high school coach has a star in the making.
To all three — continue to lead with WORK and let everything you want to accomplish follow. Thank you for trusting JustHoop to be a part of your journey. Onward and upward!
