Patterson:
IN HIS OWN WORDS:
What’s up everyone, my name is Trey Patterson, I’m from Somerset,
NJ. I am a Rising 7th Grader in the Class of 2021. I’m 6’5 and a wing forward. At the end of my
AAU season, my team (Team Izod) went to the NYBL Championship Weekend. Even
though we were under-manned with 6 players, we still handled our business out
in Ohio. My highlight game of the
weekend was the Elite 8 game against Team Teague where I had 15 points, 13
rebounds, and 11 assists, plus padding my stats with the buzzer beater game winning
shot to advance us on the Final Four.
Unfortunately, we lost a close one to S Elite, which was a
very good team that got the upper hand that game. At end the NYBL season, we finished 4th. My
teammates played hard the whole weekend such as Al-Fatir Connor(NJ), Tristian
Jeffries(NJ), Malik Edwards(PA), Justice Williams(PA) and Khalil Brantley(PA).

| Trey with Montverde's Head Coach Kevin Boyle |
To start off my summer, I went to the Kevin Boyle Point
Guard Camp in Poconos, PA. It was good to see Coach Boyle again after he moved
to Florida to coach Montverde Academy. I had a lot of fun at the camp with
friends and learning new skills. It was very fun and competitive. Coach Boyle was very impressed with me since
he hasn’t seen me play since he held his camps in New Jersey a few years back.
To prepare for the CP3 camp in a couple of weeks, I have
been going to my school’s basketball camp, which was a shooting and skills
development camp. The high school
varsity coach, Alex Mahony runs the camp at Rutgers Prep. The camp was really
fun and intense. Coach Mahony stresses
working hard, while also having fun and mingle with your friends.
I also have been going to physical therapy
twice a week, because in the winter, I had a serious hip injury caused by my
rapid growth of 4 inches, in a short period of time. But now, I just go to therapy to increase my
strength and conditioning.
See You Next Week,
Trey Patterson
