We had a first-hand look at the McDonald’s American at the Hoop Hall Classic in Springfield, Mass. in January. Vaughn’s offensive prowess is diversified as he is a threat to......

Although they would eventually fall to Norcross in that game 60-48, that loss would prove to be motivation for the Hawks to return to those heights this year.
