Grassroots Preview: T.E.M. Select
Here is a look at T.E.M. Select, a group of players mainly from St. Charles County and Frankin County. Their teams enjoyed a big weekend as their 17U and 15U squads took home championships at the St. Louis Spring Showdown.
17U
Mitch Fairless 6’4″ Duchesne
Luke Lowenstein 6’5″ Duchesne
Jake Hampton 6’1″ Fort Zumwalt West
Zach Summers 6’5″ Eureka
Tom Hennessey 6’5″ Pacific
Drew Deters 6’2″ Troy
Nick Bazzell 6’2″ St. Charles West
Ben Norwine 6’0″ Duchesne
Randy McRoberts 6’0″ Warrenton
Outlook: This is a solid basketball team that won the St. Louis Spring Showcase last weekend. They are a balanced team where everyone contributes in a positive way. The top player has been Fairless, an explosive wing player who has been scoring about 20 points a game. He can dunk and knock down catch and shoot 3-pointers. Lowenstein is a solid post player who can score around the basket. Hampton and Bazzell are good guards who can shoot and pass the ball. Hennessey is a nice athlete while Summers is a capable post player. Deters and Norwine are a pair of good point guards.
