    The official Peach Jam field has been released, and five teams from New York and New Jersey highlight the 24-team field.

    The Albany City Rocks (10-6), PSA Cardinals (8-8), NJ Playaz (8-8), NY Rens (8-8) and New York Lightning (10-6) all made the field for Peach Jam, which runs July 11-15 in North Augusta, S.C.

    Team Takeover out of the Washington, D.C. area finished EYBL play at 16-0, becoming the first team ever to go unbeaten through the first four sessions.

    The inclusion of the five New York-New Jersey teams means that a slew of college coaches — and fans — will see such players as Cole Anthony (PSA Cardinals), Isaiah Stewart and Joe Girard (City Rocks), Kofi Cockburn and Jalen Lecque (Rens), Khalif Battle (Playaz) and Posh Alexander (Lightning).
