Fayetteville freshmen Kwe Parker, Dennis Smith Jr. on national basketball radar

Posted Apr 29, 2013
Kwe Parker started dunking Dennis Smith Jr.'s lob passes shortly after they became pre-teen teammates on the Fayetteville Seminoles. The high school freshmen are now catching national attention. Parker, 16, and Smith, 15, are among the best Class of 2016 basketball prospects in the country. The guards were key contributors on a senior-laden Trinity Christian squad that reached the NCISAA 1-A state final in February. (Fayetteville Observer)
