Club Team Preview: WA Supreme Purple 17u

<div class="gs"> <div class=""> <div id=":kq" class="ii gt"> <div id=":kr" class="a3s aXjCH "> <p>Next up in our club team preview series is Washington Supreme's 17u purple team. This is a team I would have loved to see this Spring and Summer and they are still hoping to play in a couple tourneys if the opportunity arises. This group has some sleepers that colleges should definitely be taking more of a look at. This group is coached by former Gonzaga player Dave Cole and the team has a unique look to it with six of the players being siblings of former College  players and/or children whose parents coach in High school or college. </p> <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>WA Supreme 17u Purple Roster</strong></span></h3> <p>2021 5'10 PG Marcus Cole (Federal Way HS) - 3.6 GPA. Played on Federal Way's state team and his role will be much larger as a senior. Marcus  is very quick and pushes the ball in the uptempo playing style.

Another High Academic student athlete. Dylan has the ability  to push the ball, attack the rim and shoot the 3 ball when needed.
