The tournament — whose namesake and sponsor is a North grad who plays for the NFL’s St. Louis Rams — raised $2,500 last year for the cancer foundation in honor of Cook’s mother, Yulinda, a cancer survivor.
I love sports, marketing, and business. All three have played their role in shaping my career and the lens through which I view things. The Burnett Brief is a spin-off from the never-ending sports, marketing, and business pipeline that runs through my head.

Miller Grove Shot Clock League - live video this Wednesday
We'll have live video from five games at the 2nd Annual Miller Grove Shot Clock League on Wednesday, June 25. The league has continued to receive great feedback from participating teams and coaches, and Miller Grove head coach Sharmane White has even had to turn a few teams away each year given the number of teams that want to play with the shot clock. The high school basketball shot clock debate continues throughout the state of Georgia and the rest of the country, but the benefits of it seem pretty apparent given the handful or private school conferences that have adopted it as well as the elite travel ball leagues that put it to use. It will be interesting to see if the financial and manpower implications shot clock opponents cite as issues will give way to the value having a shot clock in high school provides.
With that being said, here are the live video links to Wednesday's games from the MG Shot Clock League:
4pm: Miller Grove vs. Lovejoy
5pm: North Clayton vs. Stone Mountain
6pm: Lovejoy vs. Sandy Creek
7pm: Tucker vs. Jonesboro

Starting with tipoff on Sunday, June 15, the Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) will be providing live and archived webcasts of select games from the 2014 Atlanta Entertainment Basketball League (AEBL). The AEBL, founded by Jahi Rawlings in 2013, is Atlanta’s newest live sports and entertainment attraction for competitive basketball played by current, former and aspiring NBA players, celebrities, entertainers and local athletes. Though only in its second year, the AEBL is poised to be a fixture in the Atlanta community for years to come.
"Partnering with the SUV this year to bring live streaming to our summer league is next level," says AEBL visionary Jahi Rawlings, "Summer basketball will never be the same."
Rated as the country's premier summer
basketball league, the AEBL operates from June – August at downtown Atlanta's
Central Park. The league provides a FREE, live entertainment venue for
Atlanta’s local community, while attracting guests and players from across the
US. Participating teams will compete on a custom made hardwood basketball court
that will be the first of its kind in the Southeast.
Beyond the basketball side of things, the AEBL focuses on positive contributions to the area in the form of local gatherings, feeding the community, providing back to school supplies, and two programs entitled “Stop Your Bullying” and “Hoop In My Shoes.”
“The
buzz and impact of the AEBL is very visible here in the Atlanta area”, says
Marques Burnett, founder of The Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), “We’re excited about
using the SUVtv webcasts to provide even more visibility for the league, its

The SUV is excited to announce its upcoming live webcast of the first ever hockey game in Athens, GA. The host Ice Dogs of the University of Georgia will take on rival Georgia Tech at The Classic Center in Downtown Athens on April 9 at 7:30pm.
The Classic Center Arena located in the recently expanded grand hall will boast seating that surrounds the ice rink on all sides with capacity that will exceed 2,000 with planned additional VIP and other spectator areas. Noise levels are expected to be very high in the acoustic friendly grand hall that was sold out by March 17. “For close to 20 years we have had the belief ‘if you build it, they will come,’ and selling out the first game in Athens over three weeks in advance of the game certainly vindicates that belief,” long time head coach John Hoos commented on the news of the sell out. “The fan excitement and support thus far has been tremendous!”
The Classic Center in downtown Athens is the new home of the UGA Ice Dogs hockey team. The team will play home games in their 2014-15 season between September and February at The Classic Center Arena. Season tickets will go on sale this spring.
"The SUV embraces the opportunity to be a part of this milestone event for UGA Hockey and its growth up to this point," says Marques Burnett, Founder of the SUV, "The live webcast will allow an even broader audience to be a part of a special night for the Ice Dogs program, players, and the Athens community as a whole."

Below, are some full game archives and clips to show the type of ability Simonds has brought to the table in a solid sophomore campaign that's not even finished yet:
Full game archives:

SUVtv Game of the Week: Grayson vs. Berkmar
All of the votes are in and the Grayson Rams vs. Berkmar Patriots matchup has been selected as the @SUVtv Game of The Week. Tune in on Friday, January 31 at 7:30pm to catch this one live. Grayson has had a good season thus far at 18-2 (9-2) but remains under the radar given their record. Berkmar comes into the game with a record of 16-5 (10-2). Grayson has played well, but a signature win vs. Berkmar would bolster their resume. On the flip side, Berkmar can definitely benefit from using this Region 8-AAAAAA road test as a gauge for where they are at this point in the season as their potential March to Macon approaches.
Watch the on demand Grayson vs. Berkmar webcast here.

The Rear View Mirror: SUV's look back at the 2014 Hilton Invitational....
From the game schedule and players involved to the event extras and hospitality room, the 2014 Hilton Invitational is one of the best one day events you'll find in and outside of Georgia. Norcross Basketball's Jesse McMillan and his staff have set a very high bar for themselves each year and done chin-ups on it every time. Before I start talking about how excited the SUV is for the 2015 event, let's take a look back at some of what made this year such a good one....
Hillgrove (GA) 70 Sparkman (AL) 63 (Watch On Demand)
Kyle Castlin
took home Muscle Milk Player of the Game honors as he helped Hillgrove develop
a cushion early. BJ Brown continued his consistency on both ends for Hillgrove
as well. The game ended up a pretty close one as a result of Sparkman's Jamal
Johnson and his 30 points. The apple doesn't fall to far from the tree as
Johnson showed his pedigree as the son of former NBA player Buck Johnson.
@SUVtv clips:
Kyle Castlin highlights: Baseline slam ; Steal & dunk
BJ Brown: For 3
Jamal Johnson: To the cup ; For 3
Providence Day School (NC) 74 St. Francis (GA) 70 (Watch On Demand)
I got a
chance to see Jordan Watkins over at Suwanee Sports Academy this summer with
his PSB Select travel team - different jersey this time, but it was the same
old "money from the outside" Watkins. The Davidson commit finished
with 21 pts as PDS got the W over the highly talented St. Francis Knights who
started the game with a 7-0 run. The Chargers weathered the initial storm, stayed within striking distance, and played the role of tortoise in this race versus the hare in St. Francis. Malik Beasley finished with 24 points in a loss for the Knights as he continues to show his knack for scoring the ball.
@SUVtv clips:
Jordan Watkins: 3 from the corner ; Splash from top of the key
Malik Beasley: For 3 ; To the rack
Kobi Simmons: Alley oop ; cut and layup
Wheeler (GA) 83 Wenonah (AL) 82 (Watch On Demand)
Consider this
one an SUVtv Classic. Wenonah came in ready to deal Wheeler its first loss in
the state of Georgia. Led by Alabama signee Justin Coleman, they did a great
job of frustrating the Wheeler offense while getting buckets of all varieties
in the 1st half. They want into halftime up 49-34 with no signs of letting up.
The 2nd half was one that everyone will remember as Wheeler fused mental
toughness, 11 straight points from Avery Patterson, and 30 points from Jaylen
Brown to produce a one point victory after Patterson's tough layup just before
the buzzer.
@SUVtv clips:
Norcross (GA) 65 Christ School (NC)

a prime example of Norcross being Norcross. The host Blue Devils used their
pressure on defense to help get Khalen Pinkett and Andre Chatfield (19 pts)
going early. Despite a relatively tough year, Christ School is always a program
that sees opponent's best efforts, and last night was no exception.

The respect
for GAC as a program is pretty commonplace here in the Peach State. After all,
numbers don't lie, and the way the Eddie Martin-coached squad goes about the
game is prototypical. It makes a great spectacle for all when GAC is challenged
- that always speaks volumes about any opponent that is able to do so. It took
a lights out shooting performance by Cam Boyd to help the Spartans beat an
impressive Winston Salem Prep team led by Mike Hughes' 26 points and Coye Simmons work to contain Isaiah Wilkins.
