Great American Shootout: Duncanville – The Factory AZ

<p>Instead of going to Cali or Nevada like most Arizona teams did who are not on the shoe circuit, The Factory headed to Texas. The Factory has consistently been one of the top non-shoe sponsored teams in the state. Below is a summer of the team’s performances. This group played well throughout the event.</p> <h3>D’Maurian Williams 6’4 PG 2019 Westview</h3> <p>Williams was living in the paint and demonstrated that he can score the basketball at will as well as create opportunities for others.
