Notes:
Louisiana Lightning consist of 13U-16U. The program is based out of Houma, LA and more than half of Louisiana Lightning Basketball Student-Athletes carry a 3.0 GPA. 15U C Matthew Rodrigue is a 4.0 student. The organization stresses the importance of production in the classroom and discipline on the basketball court. Louisiana Lightning prides itself on being more than a basketball organization. The foundation of LLB is Faith, Family, Education and Brotherhood. With an event under the belt and a great ending to last season, the Lightning program is looking to build on the success behind a balanced attack that features TJ Octave Jr. and his scoring ability. Frank Robinson Jr provides a very steady inside presence that this 15u team can lean on for rebounds and rim protection.
