"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13
Success Coupet, a standout 6 foot 1 combo guard from California's Cool Kids Hoop 13U team, had an impressive performance in the Mercadel Trick-or-Treat Classic Basketball Tournament October 12th-13th, 2024. He showcased his scoring ability with 32 points and 15 rebounds, 28 points and 10 rebounds, and 15 points and 12 rebounds, leading his team to a championship win in the 13U division and earning MVP. Known for his exceptional skills in securing defensive rebounds, Coupet also demonstrates a strong shooting ability from beyond the arc and is the best in the country at pushing the ball coast-to-coast. With such talent, many believe there are not 50 players in the 2029 class who can match his skill set.
