Summer showcases hoops prospects from state

Summer basketball is about to heat up in the month of July, and 17-under Joe Johnson Arkansas Hawks and other Arkansas teams are gearing up for the stretch run.

The Hawks went 21-5 during the spring against some of the best competition in the nation while playing without two key players.

The Hawks -- led by University of Arkansas, Fayetteville point guard commitment Justice Hill, 5-10, of Little Rock Christian -- won their age division in the Real Deal in the Rock for the first time by defeating Georgia-based Game Elite 74-63.

Game Elite was led by point guard Ashton Hagans, 6-3, of Covington, Ga.
