When Xavier Green moved from Florida to Williamsburg, Virginia as a middle schooler, he went to the rec center to play some basketball. At the time, no one in the area really knew him or much about his skill level at all. So, the kids around his age found a way to test him.

“I was at the rec center and everybody wanted to play me one-on-one,” Green said with a smile.
