2024

The Hoopsfix All-Star Classic returned for its tenth year anniversary in 2024, in front of 1700 people at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.

A tribute to the ten years of history with all player names who have ever been selected etched into the floor, the arena was visually stunning while once again having an Under-19 Men and Under-19 Women’s game, along with dunk contest and 3-point shootout.

The entire day was live streamed online to an audience of tens of thousands.

3-Point Shootout

Grace Strickland became the first female winner of the Hoopsfix All-Star Classic 3-Point Shootout to kickstart the 2024 edition.

The Bella Vista prep school guard beat last year’s champion William Issekya on the buzzer in the final round to finish with a winning score of 12.

Issekya only just advanced to the final itself, also on the buzzer, as his score of 13 was enough for second place in the first round in front of Liv Forster’s 12 and behind Strickland’s 14.

Six contestants tried to claim the sharpshooter title in the mixed gender event with Alix McIntosh, Liv Forster, Khyle Capanzana and Joe Buchanan missing out in the first round.

Dunk Contest

Remy Udeh claimed the Dunk Contest title at the 2024 Hoopsfix All-Star Classic in comfortable fashion.

Udeh – from London Lions’ academy – cruised past the first round with a score of 62 over two dunks, compared to other competitors Ben Csernak and Edward Onyia who both scored 52.

This led to a tie-break between the two for a spot in the final alongside Udeh, which Onyia won by the deciding factor of crowd noise with a reverse slam.

Under-19 Women’s Game

Team White prevailed in a close fought battle in the Under-19 Women’s game with a 72-65 success over Team Black.

Yazmin Edwards claimed the MVP award with 14 points, six rebounds and three steals in the win at Crystal Palace with Esther Kursite providing valuable support with 14 points and eight boards.

Under-19 Men’s Game

An MVP performance from Tyrese Lacey led Team Black to an overtime win over Team White 101-90 in the Hoopsfix All-Star Classic 2024.

The 5’8″ guard clutched up at the end of regulation time, scoring a buzzer-beating three to tie the ball game and send it to overtime.

The fourth Myerscough product to win men’s MVP, Lacey registered 20 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals and was helped by strong performances from teammates Joe Buchanan, Tim Oboh, Devontae Dacosta and Oscar Curran – who came up big in overtime.
