Dave Telep Carolina Challenge

Seeing as I apparently am going to be just awful with picking NCAA tournament games this year I've decided to check out some basketball on a different level.  I had a chance to check out the Dave Telep Carolina Challenge at Cary Academy this morning and had an opportunity to see some really good North Carolina highschoolers play.  The Carolina Challenge is an event that hosts the top 80 highschool players from the state of NC, hand picked by Dave Telep.

The Carolina Challenge is designed to showcase the talents of the top rising sophmores, juniors, and seniors as well as to provide them with an opportunity to learn what it means and takes to become a college basketball player.  This was my first opportunity to check out the event, which is in its 4th year.  I must say I was quite impressed with how well it was put together and with the level of talent in the state this year.

Thanks also to PackPride.com as I was afforded to opportunity to take photos for them.  I've included a couple below, but for more you should check out their site, whether it be for information on football, basketball, recruiting, or basically anything NC State.  In order you see Jacob Lawson, Joseph Uchebo(#90), and Tyler Lewis.
