DC Live has officially made a name for itself. Hosted by the DC State Athletic Association, held at Sidwell Friends (DC) this year, DC Live marries college coaches, high school teams and fans in a comfortable, laid back confab in which players can be seriously analyzed. It feels like a positive case study in HOW to present these June events.
Following is a grab bag of coverage, utilizing writing, video and tweets. Premium Court has still more. Enjoy!

Aiden Pratt - 6'1", '27 G, Hayfield (VA) - A reserve guy who has earned significant minutes as he's demonstrated he can play with older, more experienced players. Competes, passes, rebounds and will look to score. In a loss to Friendship Tech Prep, had six points and two rebounds in 10 minutes.
