Alijah Cooper puts on a show at Make Your Marq Camp
Alijah Cooper represented the Harrisburg area well at Marquee Hoops’ Make Your Marq Camp from January 2 to 3 at the 76ers Fieldhouse.
Alijah is a 5’7” combo guard from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He’s a primary wing who’s a tough scorer from all three levels and his competitive fire is second to none. Alijah is currently a 7th grader who plays for Central Dauphin East. He got the opportunity to attend the Marquee Hoops camp through RISE Sports’ services and it was nerve racking at first for the young prospect.
“It was kind of nerve racking in the beginning,” Cooper said. “I didn’t know anyone. Once I started to know people and what the coaches wanted, I was more comfortable. I saw what I was able to do.”
But soon as Alijah put the ball in his hands for the first drill, the rest was history. Alijah proceeded to impress everybody in the gym and showed that he could play among the best regional talent. He led his team to the Make Your Marq Camp Championship and even put up 20 points in one of his games.
The best is yet to come for Alijah along his basketball journey. We at RISE Sports are extremely proud of how the young man performed and represented well. Below is Alijah’s evaluation!
Alijah Cooper (5’6” CG, PA): “One of the most offensively skilled players at camp, hands down. His quickness and handle forced defenders to give him space, which opened up his knock down 3-point shooting ability. He also thrived off contact and showed great poise when finishing around the basket.” - Gary Williams
