Video: Midnight Madness Bristol Qualifier
Midnight Madness 2009 in Bristol, like every other run, was nice! Abundance of talent up and down the country is rife. In the Under 18s, Luke McClean, a Hackney White Heat player stood out, using his strength to get to the rack and mixing it up with a nice mid range game as well as a strong ability to pass from the post. Jevon Ford was another who played big, and Andy (?) a dimunitive PG who stamped his mark at every run I saw him play at.
In the Under 23s, Ben Russell represented after not qualifying on his first attempt at Milton Keynes, came back stronger and did himself proud despite withdrawing early due to injury (still had done enough to get that ticket!). Will Neighbour played nice, with a couple of dunks and showed his huge range for a big man hitting 3’s with a regularity most guards couldn’t manage. Dexter the Destroyer (anyone got a surname for this dude) has some serious bunnies as well as a nice slashing game, Greg Street (?) had the nicest finger roll of Midnight Madness 2009 (in the vid) and Apollo played big for his team as well.

Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
