As most of the basketball world has their eyes on the London Olympic Games and team U.S.A., the Northeast will all be watching the 2012 BCANY Summer Hoops Festival this weekend. The teams have all been chosen, and the rosters are set (aside from a few alternates) for the boys side.

While many basketball fans may know names like Lebron James and Kobe Bryant, players at the BCANY Festival hope to make a name for themselves by standing out amongst the immensely talented field that will make the trip to the Southern Tier of New York from August 3-5.

The nine sections that will compete in the boys Hoops Festival are comprised of the Southern Tier, Hudson Valley, Adirondack and Capital District, Central New York, Rochester, Buffalo, Mid-Hudson, New York City, and Long Island (Suffolk.)
