As we celebrate our 10 year anniversary, we reflect on a decade filled with dedication, growth, and unforgettable moments. Over the years, countless boys and girls have come through our program and gone on to shine at both the high school and collegiate levels. Their success is a testament to the spirit that defines the Jr. Panthers and the commitment we have made to nurturing athletes who excel not only in basketball, but in character, confidence, and leadership.

The Jr. Panthers are not just a team. We are a community that believes in lifting each other up and pushing one another to become the best version of ourselves. Competing in one of the toughest junior basketball conferences in the state has taught our athletes what it truly means to prepare, to persevere, and to rise to the moment. These lessons continue to guide them long after the final buzzer sounds.

If you are searching for a place where your child can grow, be challenged, and become part of something meaningful, we invite you to consider joining the Langston Hughes Jr. Panthers. Our tradition is strong, our purpose is clear, and our belief in the potential of every young athlete remains unshakable.

ABOUT

The Langston Hughes Jr. Panthers Feeder Basketball Program was founded in 2016 with one clear mission: to give boys and girls in grades 5 through 8 an opportunity to grow as athletes, students, and leaders while representing our community with pride. Competing in the highly competitive Cobb County Junior Basketball Conference (CCJBC), our program has quickly built a reputation for excellence on and off the court.

From the very beginning, Panther Pride has fueled our journey. In just a few short years, we have celebrated multiple region championships, several Final Four appearances, and the unforgettable 2018 8th Grade Boys Championship. Most recently, in 2025, our 8th Grade Girls finished as CCJBC Runner-Up, rising above 41 schools across the conference.

The CCJBC is one of the largest and most competitive junior basketball leagues in the state, with 41 high schools each fielding feeder teams at the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade levels. Divided into four regions, the league challenges our athletes through required region play and competitive non-region matchups. Only the top eight teams from each region advance to the playoffs, making every game a test of character, skill, and teamwork.

As the only feeder program in South Fulton County, the Langston Hughes Jr. Panthers proudly carry the torch for our community. Our program has already played a role in shaping state championship high school teams and producing collegiate athletes, proving that Panther Pride does not stop at the middle school level. It is the foundation for future success.

Looking ahead, we are excited about the next generation of young talent wearing Panther colors. With a strong culture, passionate coaches, and unwavering support from our families, we are building more than just basketball players. We are developing leaders prepared to compete at the highest levels.

At Langston Hughes Jr. Panthers, the journey starts with us.

If you have a young athlete in our area, we invite you to join our family and be part of something bigger. Panther Pride starts here.
