Brandon Clay’s Southern Starz Takeaway:
The Southern Starz are one of the premier independent programs nationally. Doug Bush & Company consistently battle with and come away victorious against teams from all over the country regardless of shoe affiliation or location. The Starz alumni list features players making a difference with their play inside of conferences all over the country. Their production at the high school level had definitely made them a staple of college coaches viewing schedules at PeachStateBasketball.com events annually and a target for teams looking to make the same ascent to national prominence that Bush has the Starz making.
Jonathan Hemingway’s Southern Starz Takeaway:
Doug Bush continues to develop the top talent from the state of Alabama. He works tirelessly to identify the top prospects from all over the southeast. In this way he is a true student of the game of women’s basketball. The Starz organization is solid from top to bottom. With the help of Looney and Veal, the Starz have talent to be tracked in every grade level even into the middle school age group.
Keil Moore’s Southern Starz Takeaway:
The Alabama Southern Starz are one of the deepest club programs in the country with elite teams at seemingly every allowable age group. Led by Doug Bush, the Starz are consistently competitive from top to bottom and a well respected brand among college coaches. Whenever you watch a Southern Starz team you know their kids will play hard, play smart, and play together with numerous college prospects lacing up their sneakers every time out.
