ROBBINSVILLE, NJ–On Saturday afternoon, GMC Hoops learned that Jordan Little of Perth Amboy Tech was named to the South All-Star Boys roster for the 2015 NJSCA All-Star Basketball Classic scheduled to take place on Sunday afternoon at Rider University. Little, who helped lead Amboy Tech to a share of the GMC Gold Division crown, is the lone representative from the Greater Middlesex Conference in the showcase event. This past season, Little connected on 219 field goals and 84 foul shots for a total of 522 points, or an average of 20.9 points per game. He also grabbed a total of 506 rebounds, or an average of 20.2 per game.
