Hoop-a-Joop Middle Schoolers Lineup

Not all of these guys ended up appearing in the Hoop pilot.  Most of these kids are in Al and Mel's 7th grade class and a few are in James and Amy's 6th grade class (though I think only one of those students made it into the final cut of the pilot).  A bunch of extra kids not pictured here haven't been given full designs yet, I think the headcount for Al's class came out to 30 kids.

The top row are the core groups of interest to Al's friends.  Mel's with her hipster gang: Estelle, Nina and Adam.  Al's being surrounded by the ruling class of the schoolkids (and James' dream posse).  Pretty much everyone in this row has a fully realized life!

In the second row, Kaylie, Roger, and Angie are 6th graders.  Most of these kids are self-involved and would more likely be assets to Al's group than mooches like the first row.
