The first session of the 2014 NYBL (National Youth Basketball League) was held last weekend, March 22 – 23, in Washington, DC. Our Major Bantam Wharton and Bantam Hall teams play in this elite and highly competitive league. Each team played five games and came back home with an outstanding experience along with very successful first session records. The Major Bantam boys dominated with a 4 – 1 record; while the Bantam boys battled to a 2 – 3 record.

Rowan “R. J.” Barrett Jr. from the Major Bantam team had an outstanding weekend, establishing himself as one of the top players in the NYBL and the 2019 recruiting class.

Below are a few articles about R. J., as well as the NYBL Leagues Standings.
