Summer basketball season is upon us, and for area players this is a crucial time not only to sharpen skills but also to enhance scholarship possibilities. It also allows fans to satisfy their basketball jones through the dog days. A look at the area's top leagues that involve county teams:
BOYS
The Rock Summer League
Where: High Point.
Teams: DeMatha, High Point, Laurel, Bishop McNamara, Oxon Hill, Pallotti, Riverdale Baptist, Eleanor Roosevelt, Blake, Boys' Latin, Bullis, Carroll, Einstein, Georgetown Prep, Cardinal Gibbons, Gonzaga, KIMA, Long Reach, Mount St. Joseph's, O'Connell, Paint Branch, Paul VI Catholic, Spalding, Springbrook and St. John's.
Games: Monday through Friday.
Admission: Free.
Kee p an eye on: a terrific mix of public and private school teams from throughout the Washington area, and even a few from Baltimore, in this traditionally strong league. It is an opportunity to see how the top teams from various leagues measure up against one another.
Among the county's public schools, watch rising seniors Sean Hawkins of Eleanor Roosevelt and Milade Lola-Charles of Laurel. The two post players are being recruited by several Division I colleges. Another potential top inside player is O'Connell 7-footer Zack Crimmins . Of course, DeMatha's Jerai Grant already is a proven commodity inside. Georgetown Prep guard Garvey Young , a rising junior, at times this past season seemed poised to emerging as a top prospect.
