IN THE SPOTLIGHT WITH GTHING: ATLANTIC COUNTY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SOPHOMORE GUARD YASMEEN NELSON.

YASMEEN NELSON ( CLASS OF 2016 )


Atlantic Tech has been playing well above there expectation, in one of those reason is because of sophomore guard Yasmeen Nelson. She has average in double figures this year, last week Nelson scored 30, 28, 20 in one week. Playing with a Group 2 school she still had the opportunity to play against bigger school in Group 3 and 4, she still shined on those occasions as well. Nelson is starting to mature, she is a young sophomore who knows now when she must take over a game.
