Bringing the Legends to Life: Filming and Highlights of the Simeon Williams 50 and Over Basketball League
When the legends of decades past take the court each Saturday, their skills, competitiveness, and love for basketball shine as bright as ever. Now fans can experience the magic of the Simeon Williams 50 and Over Basketball League games by visiting the "Game Schedule and Game Highlights" section of the website.
Through a partnership with GrayWorks Technologies Media, portions of the league games will be recorded and posted on the website and YouTube. GrayWorks Technologies Media will capture all the action - from drives to the hoop, to no-look passes, to high-flying blocks. The GrayWorks crew will ensure the footage captures the spirit and intensity of competition in the league.
Game footage will be edited for highlight reels showing the weekly games and most exciting moments. The highlights will be available to view pending film editing and production. Fans can relive all the best crossovers, three-pointers, dunks or "dunkish" plays, and more from their favorite players.
"We want to showcase the incredible talent still on display in this league and share the experience with fans who can't make it to the games," said Byron Gray of GrayWorks Technologies Media. "These players were heroes on the city courts decades ago, and they deserve to have their stories told."
In addition to highlights, the "Game Schedule and Highlights" section will include, game stats, standings, and the upcoming game schedule. Visitors can check which legends will be facing off each week and revisit the stellar performances that led to wins and losses in the standings.
"By filming the games and making highlights and stats available, we hope to chronicle this important part of D.C. basketball history," said league commissioner George Coleman. "The Simeon Williams 50 and Over Basketball League lets the players' legacies live on. Now we can share their enduring passion, brotherhood, and competitive spirit with the next generation."
