Day Three of McDonald's All American Game Week was just a light day to wrap up the week's events before the players take to the national stage Wednesday night for the two All American Games. 

The third and final practice of the week kicked off the day at 9am, with more drills and play scenarios taking place to tighten up each unit and go over any last minute adjustments that needed to be made. Once again Larry Bird made an appearance on the sidelines to view and analyze the abilities of the nation's top talent.

Taking advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, DC local Ronika Ransford approached Mr. Bird for a brief conversation about the game and the week's events, informing the living legend that he should root for the Girls' East team, because they would be walking away with the victory. He laughed and agreed to throw his support behind Ransford and her teammates.

After practice the players were bussed back to the Ronald McDonald House for a final appearance with some kids and their families, and were made available to the media for interviews and photo opportunities. VAelitehoops's own Sean Frye sat down with UNC commits Reggie Bullock, Kendall Marshall and Harrison Barnes, and was also able to get the four players representing the DC, Virginia, and Baltimore area together for an interview of their own, both of which can be seen right here on www.vaelitehoops.com.

The fourth and final day of the week will feature the Girls' and Boys' games, with tip offs scheduled for 5:30pm and 8:00pm respectfully. We'll have all the day's videos, photos and a full recap right here on www.vaelitehoops.com!
