Meal 1
Summer has came and went as school got underway on Monday but for incoming freshmen like Cameron Golden it's a new year and a new start. Last year, Golden's team went undefeated and won the middle school state championship. He will leave behind a lot memories but most of all he says, "I will miss the coaches, we were like a family, if you needed anything they would be there for you". As he enters highschool his expectations are to play freshmen , junior varsity and varsity ball." I'm really not expecting much, its a new atmosphere and I will have to work my way into playing time". Just something for you to snack on, but in the next serving of "The Dish", its all Cameron. No editing, no rewording, just Cameron speaking his thoughts on his new life at Ridgeway. Stay tuned.

Top 5 Players In Each District and Those Who Could Emerge
For the next couple of weeks, 901PrepScoop will give you the best players in each district. First up, the very strong 16AAA with two state contenders and 15AAA with last years state champs, the Ridgeway Roadrunners.
16AAA
1. Tyler Stone- Central
2. Tim Peete- Central
3. Adonis Thomas- Melrose
4. Chris Jones- Melrose
5. Terry Leake- Whitehaven
Breakouts
1.Khary Mcfadden (Whitehaven)- very underrated 3 prospect who should average double figures. One of the most talented wings in the district.
2.Russell Hill (East)- East needs this 6'1 shooter to have a huge year if they don't want to finish in the cellar of the district.
3.Tim Wright (Hamilton)- Could be a big surprise for the Wildcats.
4.Bobby Jones (Kingsbury)- Leaper with range out to the 3 point line and a solid build, should lead the Falcons in scoring this year.
5.Jarnell Stokes (Central)- Should be in the starting lineup for Coach Applewhite.
15AAA
1.Joe Jackson (White Station)- I don't have to tell you why he's in this group cause you already know.
2.Ferrakhan Hall (White Station)- Should have something to prove this year after falling out of Rivals rankings.
3.Cordario Macklin (Ridgeway)- Surprise to see him here? I think Macklin will have a very nice year and lead the city in rebounds.
4.Ian Clark (Germantown)- Last chance to make run in this tough district.
5.Tarik Black (Ridgeway)- Had a pretty nice summer and is now being heavily recruited by D-1 schools including Memphis.
Breakouts
1.Andre Hollins (White Station)- Case could be made that's he should be in the top 5
2.Mccoy Polk (Overton)- Transfer should provide a lift for his new school.
3.Nick Mason (Southwind)- Another transfer who should shine at his new school.
4.Ben Norfleet (Kirby)- Adds to Chris House to make one of the best frontcourts in Memphis.
5.Marterrane Brock (Ridgeway)- No more Jason Jones as the first option for scoring,now the Brock must become that person.
Meal 2 (Sept 3rd)
What's crackin big world? My name is Cameron Golden. I am a freshman at Ridgeway High. The weeks I have attended I am enjoying it just a lil bit. I am sure I will get use to it. I have been hanging out with the roadrunner basketball team to get to know them better. These guys are winners. Hopefully I will be a part of that dis year. One thing I focus on more is my education. I will get all my work done before I play any sport. I have met many friends that have positive characters. The people that I am with are people that I need to stay with so that I make the right decisions. Alot of people have asked me am I Cameron Golden, and do you play basketball. I joke with them and say no, my name is lil dug and I play lacrosse. Then we laugh and I will tell them the truth.The guys on the team are cool to hang around and play with on the court. This year I plan on playing junior varsity and varsity. I plan to focus more on varsity than junior varsity. The reason I say that is because it is more challenging on the court, don't get me wrong, junior varsity has great talent also. My goal is to play varsity because everybody you play has talent and tha'ts the competition i'm looking for. Talk to you later
