Ten Year History of the Shootout

This Shootout started as a combination fund raiser and plan to get some additional quality games on the schedule. It has evolved into a showcase for the best coaches, players, and teams in the East. It is so gratifying to see this multi-day basketball event grow to what it is today. This is an unique event at Mainland with coaches, parents, and players dedicating themselves to putting together the best possible series of games ever at the Shootout. The teams that are going to be playing at Mainland this weekend represent the best in local, regional and eastern women's high school basketball.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all the organizations and individuals who played a part in the tenth Future Stars Basketball Camps Shootout at the Shore. The Future Stars Basketball Camps, led by Cathy and Michael Rush, have always looked for ways to put girls basketball into the spotlight and this weekend is another example of that. To all our local sponsors and participating schools thank you for being a part of this. A special thanks to my basketball parents for helping out with tickets, security, concessions, money, ideas and their time. Various staff and administration especially Athletic Director George Evinski, and Communications Coordinator Chuck Smith, have been great in their support and volunteering their time.
