Youth attend the Jr. Orange Bowl
HJTEP sent four youth to Florida for The Junior Orange Bowl International Tournament. This is a week long tournament hosted in Coral Gables, FL; where youth from over 75 different countries come to showcase their talent and gain rankings. The Orange Bowl is one of the most prestigious world-recognized junior tournament in the amateur circuit.
This year Jalynn B. age: 11, Damita B. age: 10, Winter F. age: 12, and Donovan "DJ" S. age: 11 (Jack Shapiro Team). Three competed in the Junior Orange Bowl with DJ and Winter making it to the 3rd round of the qualifiers for the Boys 12s division.

We are proud of all four juniors who were dedicated and excited to share the experience. Thank you to HJTEP coaches and parents who attended motivating our juniors to be great!
