We will first be previewing a club’s top teams in those given age groups and will then circle back to their other teams. Today: Higher Level 16U Premier
Organized by Program Director Darius Wilson, Higher Level have assembled a strong pool of talent across all age groups in the organization. Given that, in conjunction with their competitive schedule, this spring and summer should most certainly bring more positive momentum. Below is a preview of their 17U Premier Team.

Players to Watch
Dom Fragala
Fragala can run the show at a high level. He displays a superb skill level to go along with a high IQ and good feel at the lead guard spot. He’s got advanced vision and passing skills, and displays quick reactions and heady decision making on both ends. Look for the dynamic young floor general to emerge as a major two-way contributor for this team.
Brandon Edmond
Owning a picture perfect shooting stroke, Edmond poses a very real offensive threat from the perimeter. He’s lethal off the bounce, and efficient from the catch. Look for the skilled guard to consistently scorch opponents from deep.
Jason Aigner
After hitting 7 threes in his debut for Higher Level last week, Aigner introduced himself as another deep threat. He’s got limitless range and unreal confidence, but also makes smart all around plays, and capable of playing a complete overall game. Look for him to contribute in a variety of different areas for this team.
Jordan White
White is a dead-eye perimeter shooter who exhibits confidence scoring at all 3 levels. He’s got a strong base, and good balance on his shot. The class of 2018 guard should benefit from an additional year to develop his skills and body.
