Quezada: Early Interest For NY Guard

Emanuel Quezada, a 6'2'' 175 pound combo guard from St. Albans Academy in Washington, D.C., is a New York City native and scorer in the class of 2004 with high major potential.

Quezada has been contacted by Providence, Stanford, Georgia Tech, and Davidson, among others

Quezada is a crafty combo with terrific ball skills who knows how to put it in the hoop. Quezada can shoot the deep ball but would be better labelled as a scorer. He is adept at getting defenders off their feet and finding ways to stick it in.

Quezada is a strong student at academically competitive St. Albans. He is another in a line of players from the CAS Warriors AAU program to attend St. Albans High School in Washington, DC. The Warriors' "Project Assist" helps place promising students and athletes in some of the nation's finest college preparatory high schools.

He had 17 points in this past Friday's 68-62 loss to perennial DC-powerhouse Bullis. St. Albans has a 9-7 overall record but has yet to win a contest in the Interstate Athletic Conference.

"Manny" played with The New York City-based CAS Warriors this past summer.
