Frenji Sports presented an impressive group of the top New York-area high school basketball players on June 3. The game was in honor of Frankie Williams, a former community leader, mentor, and coach who was, and still is, well respected in the Greenburgh, NY.
The game was about as fast paced as it could possibly be. In the end, it was the Blue Team who outlasted their opponents, the White team, 124-112. The two teams raced up and down the court, launched 3s, and finished at the rim with authority during the crowd-pleasing 
All-Star game.
Fordham University-bound senior Jeffrey Short took home MVP honors for the Blue team. Short dazzled the audience by lighting up the scoreboard for 28 points.
Meanwhile, Boys & Girls junior Mike Taylor scored a game-high 33 points and earned the Sportsmanship award in the process.
