Midnight Madness Finish Qualifiers in Nottingham

By Sam Neter on August 10, 2010

Midnight Madness Nottingham was big

Saturday saw the final Midnight Madness qualifier of the summer-the North regional held in Nottingham.

Word on the grapevine was that it was gonna be a stacked day and when I showed up and saw an U18 team made up entirely of England U18 players (“Green Light”, the eventual winners) I knew we were going to be in for a good one.

Trust me, it did not disappoint with a ridiculous amount of highlights. Individual qualifiers will be announced on the official Midnight Madness website later this week. The team qualifiers from each division are as follows:

Random Thoughts/Notes

When I said earlier there were a ridiculous amount of highlights, that is no exaggeration. There were no less than 4 posters, as well as a number of other worthy highlight reel plays.
Green Light in the U18’s division were so ridiculously better than everyone else, it almost seemed pointless playing lol. They brought a lot of highlights.
In the U20’s big shout out to Jamell Anderson who was trying to dunk everything. Resulting in him having two facials served up, as well as a number of other big dunks.
Myles Hesson has CRAZY bounce. For a guy his size to get up as high as he does it’s ridiculous. He goes up there as one of the best highflyers in the country.
Caylin Raftopoulos is a highlight reel waiting to happen, proves you don’t have to be a dunker to get in a Hoopsfixtape ;)
The Men’s Division was all about Darius Defoe. The guy is a monster and he absolutely POSTERISED someone.
Joseph Baugh went through the legs on a fast break…and I missed it. Pissed. (he later got dunked on by Jamell lol).

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.
