GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - When former Gulfport star Leonard Bennett saw how tough it became for some of South Mississippi’s finest basketball stars to play accessible AAU basketball, he took matters into his own hands - and helped put a team right in our backyard.
“I think it’s hard on the parents to drive to Louisiana every weekend, to drive to Jackson every weekend, drive to Alabama every weekend. We got together and said let’s do it on the Coast, because we have enough talent on the Coast to do it,” Bennett said. “If you want to come out and play, you don’t have to go to those venues to play.”
