2009 Southeast Top 50 Players  

 

By Harry Douglas- Senior Editor  

Mr. Douglas has been involved in  youth basketball for 30 years and has helped many players obtain scholarships.  He discovered players like Darius Washington, Dwight Howard, Toney Douglas, Chris Paul, Harry Douglas, Aaron Affalo, Marcus Williams, J. R. Pinnock, Cliff Hammonds and many more.  Mr. Douglas is well known by hundreds of college and high school coaches.  His two sons are Harry and Toney Douglas are major contributors in D-1 sports.  He has great respect for knowing talent and developing players.  As a freshman at Auburn University, Toney Douglas led the SEC in scoring, Second Leading Scorer in the Country, Associated Press All-American, Rival.com All-American and  1st Team All SEC.  Harry Douglas is a star wide receiver for the  University of Louisville Cardinals Football Team and has been drafted by the Atlanta Falcons.  Players, I will be watching you.  Work hard and be a student first and an athlete second.  Remain humble, respectful and remember that God loves you.

Southeast states include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina and Tennessee.  During the spring and summer, this list could change due to players’ production rising of diamonds.   Georgia always has players and www.youthprepstar.com  is your #1 source.  Thanks you for your support.
