RECAP: RUCKER ON WOOD OPEN GYM (c/o 2011 and 2012) |

CLASS OF 2011 SESSION!
The final open gym session which is dubbed "Rucker on Wood" featured some of the area's top talent in addition to a couple of new faces to the city. The teams are uniquely assemble with the most fairest procedure known to mankind. The players were lined up from tallest to smallest.  DeKaney's Micheal Dison 5'9 pg (pictured) was one of the shortest players in the building, but his game earned plenty respect from his peers.
Then in sequence, each was given a number 1 thru 8, 8 to 1, 1 to 8, etc. That ensured that each team would be balanced with even height, if nothing else. This enables those who have never played together to end up on the same team. For example, University of Texas recruit Julien Lewis 6'3 g (LaMarque HS) and his former classmate at Galveston Ball HS, Terran Petteway 6'5 w 2011 were assigned to Team 6. They were joined by a trio of guys who are no strangers to winning. Tyler Guidry 5'11 cg helped guide Westbury Christian to the TAPPS 4A state championship this past season. Charles Allen 6'4 w was in the starting lineup for Second Baptist HS, who finished runners-up to Westbury Christian. Andrew Costello 6'7 pf is a key component for HCYA (winners of the Home Schooled National Championship three of the past four years). After going 2-1 in pool play, Team 6 advanced through the bracket and faced Team 7 (the team they lost to in pool action) in the finals. The members of Team 7 included, CJ Shelvin 5'11 cg (Madison HS), Torian Jones 6'4 g (Channelview HS), Teris Bourgeois 6'6 (Clear Springs HS), Jacoby Harrison 6'6 pf (Jones HS), and Reid Burke 6'7 pf (HCYA). After playing 5 eight minute games, fatigue had set in on the players. Still, the intensity was high as the guys went at each other in impressive fashion. Truth be told, all ten of these guys had shining moments in this game. When the dust settled, the well conditioned Team 6 was simply too much to handle, as they won 34-25.
CLASS of 2012 SESSION!
Prior to starting the event, the St Pius X High School basketball team was acknowledged and  presented with a letter of appreciation from the George McClellan Foundation for their volunteered helping hands during the "Back to School Drive" held on August 16th. Afterwards, the class of 2012 players were divided into teams and engaged in some friendly competition with the same format mentioned above. Ironically, one of the players who utilized this event to increase his stock tremendously was St Pius HS star Trey Guidry 6'5 wf (pictured). Team 5 won six consecutive games, including a 24-22 victory over Team 4 in the finals. The championship members of Team 5 were Ryne Williams 5'10 pg (Bush HS), Carl Culberson 5'11 pg (St Pius HS), Joseph Munoz 6'2 sg (Cy Creek HS), Clyde Santee 6'5 w (Yates HS), and Delvin Dickerson 6'4 pf (Westbury Christian HS). Note that Williams and Santee won state titles at Bush and Yates High Schools respectively. Winning can certainly become an additive habit. |

On Sunday, the annual open gym series dubbed "Rucker on Wood" drew nearly 85 top notch talented ninth and tenth graders from around the Greater Houston area. It was a fun atmosphere as the young men were assembled into teams of five or six players before playing between 4 and 6 eight minute games each. The Class of 2014 kicked things off and proved their are as talented as advertised. Congrats to the team consisting of JC Washington 6'6 (Yates HS), Tony Upchurch 6'4 (Dawson HS), William West 5'11 (Clear Lake HS), Don TyroneMichael Lowe 5'6 for going undefeated enroute to winning the event championship.
The Class of 2013 followed immediately afterwards, and the games were so competitive that there was no undefeated team. However, once again Team 3 (5-1) won the single elimination tournament which all eight teams advanced into after pool play. Congrats to Zach Brown 6'6 (Klein Collins HS), Kendell Ramlal 6'5 (Reagan HS), Demond Mercer 6'2 (Chavez HS), Christopher Walker 6'0 (St Pius HS), and Michael Hunter 5'9 (Willowridge HS) for their collective performance on guiding Team 3 to the title.
The classes of 2012 and 2011 will meet up in the near future and is expected to provide plenty of excitement as the #1 ranking is up for grabs in either class. Be sure to follow us via twitter/RcsSports to get the location and times of the next series of "Rucker on Wood" open gyms.
