F Galen Alexander – Louisiana Elite
F Joseph Thompson – Mo Williams Academy
G Tae Martin – New Orleans Elite – Swilling
G Josh Anderson – Louisiana Elite
G Lamont Berzat – New Orleans Elite – Swilling
Summer MVP Galen Alexander was a do it all forward for Louisiana Elite. He played for Breaux Bridge last school year and is becoming a national recruit thanks to an expanding perimeter game. His LA Elite teammate Josh Anderson is another national recruit who can do it all. Forward Joe Thompson played 17u as well but his work late in the year in 16u really showed off his potential. The guard duo from New Orleans Elite – Swilling really ran the show for one of the most successful 16u teams in the nation. The high powered scoring duo brought it on both ends of the court.
16u Second Team All-Grassroots
F Kevin Norman – New Orleans Elite – Swilling
F/C Larry Owens – Louisiana Elite
G Cedric Russell – Louisiana Elite
G Caleb Daniels – EP Elite / Pro Skills
G Chance Gasery – EP Elite
Kevin Norman is a high level athlete from Peabody whose transition from the post to perimeter saw him become a much more well rounded player. His ability to defend has always been there but with the added range to his three point shot, he's a new player. Big man Larry Owens shouldered most of the post load for LA Elite while his teammate (and Norman's HS teammate) Cedric Russell (LSU Commit) really displayed his ability to shoot the ball efficiently. Caleb Daniels is an athlete guard who improved throughout he summer while Chance Gasery is as steady as they come. His play helped guide EP Elite to the LA12 championship.
16u Third Team All-Grassroots
F Braylon Chaisson – 6th Man Warriors (2018)
F Dantrieze Scott – EP Elite (2018)
G Deedy Gauno – LT Rockets
G Kevin Johnson – LT Rockets
G Jaylen Hawkins – EP Elite
Braylon Chaisson found his way onto both the 15u and 16u teams by no accident. The athletic forward has become a force to reckon with. Dantrieze Scott is a football player from Ferriday that EP Elite couldn't keep off the court once he showed up. The LT Rocket duo of guards were leaders on a very successful team. Gauno is a scorer while Johnson runs a team extremely well and showed off his ability once healthy. Hawkins for EP Elite had to stay on the court, team ran smoother with him at the point than anyone else.
