Need a tough nose guard , passionate about winning and even more fired up about the game of basketball , then look no further. Corey Spence , a 5’8′ point guard from Dunbar High School in Baltimore , MD , fills those shoes and then some.

“I love the game , since four years old” noted Spence who’s Poet HS team finished 16-6 last season in the Baltimore City League. Corey knows hard work pays off , I guess the 20 pushups during commercials has paid off , as the 170lb point guard bulldozed his way to camp MVP of the Capitol Hoops Top 100 Camp earlier this month. Corey posted the highest points per game average for the senior class reeling in 12.2ppg in just 14 minutes per game.

Or maybe the off-season hill running explains why there are few guards in the DMV that can stay in front him. But better yet , you can bet that above all that it’s the fire that the DC Assault Blue point guard possesses.When Corey takes the floor , you are guaranteed energy , and at the point guard position it’s something that is a must have for Division I basketball. “I just want to be the first one in my family to get a basketball scholarship” explained Spence via cell phone late Wednesday evening.

And Spence is drawing some interest from UNC Wilmington , UNC-Greensboro , Penn St , Temple , Niargra Elon , Navy , Jacksonville St , New Orleans and Morgan St. However none has offered as of yet.

That is the fuel that keeps this youngster going. With all of the re-classifying talk as of late , it’s only fitting to point out that Corey is only 16 and and will graduate early.

Besides playing hoops , Spence is focusing his senior year on academic preparation , an attitude that is shared by Shawntra O’Neal (BmoreHoops.com CEO) , who to Corey is just Mom. “She’s always been there for me” , noted Spence , who has attended Dunbar since his freshman year and has never been more driven to compete for a league championship.

And regardless of the team’s championship endeavors , Spence is poised to have a breakout season. The lefty is quick , can finish in the paint and has improved on his outside shooting. Look for an offer or two to come in the near future , but even then don’t look for the fire to be quenched anytime soon.
