Team Hoopskills, coached by Nate Garth, played this past weekend and were led by a trio of Sac-Joaquin Section standouts.


On Vanden 2022 Takai Emerson-Hardy, Garth said, “this past weekend, he shot the ball well. He’s starting to understand how to play out of double teams. He has developed his ball handling and vision on the perimeter.”


Garth added on Franklin-Elk Grove 2022 guard Davion Wright, “Davion shot the ball well. He is getting more comfortable playing point guard and making plays on the ball.”


Grant 2022 point guard Jayson Matthews is coming off a good weekend, Garth said. “He led the team. He ran pick-n-roll very well. He shot the ball really well.”
