Preview: KC Hardwood Classic
The field is set for what is a very loaded KC Hardwood Classic, which will be held from July 20-23 in Lawrence, KS. Headlining the field will be the Oakland Soldiers, who are coming off a championship at last weekend’s Nike EYBL Peach Jam in Augusta, GA. The Soldiers will be joined by several other Nike EYBL programs, including host and 2016 Peach Jam champion MoKan Elite, Boo Williams (VA), Howard Pulley (MN), Team Penny (TN), Albany City Rocks (NY) and Portis Wings Elite (AR).
