I chose this for the main characters URL because Darcy Frey follows four high school basketball players that are looking for the ultimate prize, a full scholarship out of Coney Island. They are looking to become one of the best players to come out of New York City or just the best players ever. Darcy documents what they do and follows them to see what real players go through and how rigorous college recruiting is.
Display Name: Hop Along Darcy
I chose this for the main characters display name because Darcy Frey follows the players around where ever they go. (Tchaka, Stephon, Russell, and Corey.)

He travels with the players to tournaments and tryouts, but he also listens to them talk about school.

I chose this for the headline because in Coney Island if you don’t have talent in basketball, you don’t go any where. The only way to get out of Coney Island is by getting a four-year basketball schorlarship to a Division I school.
