Boys Basketball – SSN Top Plays, Week 1
Welcome to the first installment of Shore Sports Network's Plays of the Week Feature, sponsored by I'm Possible Training. It's pretty simple: watch the collection of plays below and vote for the one you think should be the top play of the week. The voting will run through Sunday night and be posted Monday morning in the form of a top five plays of the week.
The plays included in this week's running span the entire beginning of the basketball season, so the options will likely be more extensive this week than in most weeks, but then again, that depends on the number of submissions.
Do you have video of a play that should be on a future top plays list or wasn't included on this week's list that you think should have been? Tweet @Matt_Manley with the hashtag #SSNTopPlays or send digital files to mmanley21@gmail.com.
