On Thursday October 10, West Orange High School Seniors, Johan Atwell, Gustav Hall, Elijah Milington, and Ismail Taylor-Kamara played in the unsigned senior showcase. The Showcase consisted of some of the most talented, yet under recruited basketball players in the State of New Jersey.

Gustav Hall is a 6’1 PG who stouts a 4.5 GPA (the highest at the showcase), comes off a season filled with injury. Last year, as a junior he only played 10 games. This year he looks to play the whole season and make a deep run into the State sectionals: “I feel as though we can compete with anybody, I have faith in my team”.

Elijah Millington is a 6’4 versatile forward, shooting the ball from behind the arc as well as in the paint efficiently. Millington holds a 4.05 GPA and has been a 2 year varsity player. That veteran experience will prove to be significicant in this year’s games.

Absent due to an ankle injury, is PG Chris Latimer. A three year varsity player, Latimer is destined to have a great season, averaging 7 points and 3 steals with his defensive intensity. Latimer has garnered interest from MSU, Union, Colby and several other schools following the AAU season.

Johan Atwell, another 6’3 shooting guard who shot 30% from the 3 point line looks to help his team as well this season, “ “As this season approaches, I want to get this program the respect it deserves and make a deep run into the state tournament”. Johan himself has gathered interest in college coaches from the NJAC conference.
