MEMPHIS - The conclusion of the CCB All-American Camp featured Team White vs Team Royal. Team Royal was victorious running away from Team White 67-38. Team Royal Championship Game MVP was 6-4 Darrell Bell (Simmons College of Kentucky-Soph). Bell used an array of moves to finish 21pts, 2rebounds, 2assists, and 1 steal. Darrell Bell was labeled Bonzi Wells by coaches at the event who admired his ability to score without having to control the ball. As a guard he uses his size to post smaller players and on the perimeter he has a nice enough handle to get to the basket. His ability to rebound from the guard spot is a bonus. As Simmons College moves into the season they have several players who will garner attention from D-1 schools and a host of others who will definitely get attention from colleges at all levels. CCB All-American Camp MVP DeShawn Pendleton finished up the camp with an outstanding all around game of 10pts, 6rebounds, 6assists and 3 steals.
