VJ Edgecombe Gatorade 2023 - 2024: Player of the Year Boys Basketball

“We’ve had the pleasure of playing against VJ and watching him play over the last few years,. He’s the best player in New York state that I’ve seen in my 16 years of coaching. He’s a pro-level athlete who shoots the ball at a high rate. He does all of this while letting the game come to him and sharing the ball with his teammates.”
