Robert Cowherd and TJ Grant are the nice combo for the Georgia Stars. Stars will head to Augusta for the 15u peach jam title next week. The final 15u matchup is TSF Mack and Double Trouble. TSF Mack, has been on the national stage for several years now, as the won the southeast regional of the JR.NBA last season. TSF Mack has several D1 prospects.
