Premier Shootout Superlatives

<p>With seven courts to cover there was a lot of action to keep up with at the Premier Shootout in the Auburn Fieldhouse. The weekend was filled with the top players and teams from all over the state, Idaho, and our Canadian neighbors. It’s now time to dive into the best of the best I saw from last weekend - best shooters, defenders, scorers, passers, and so forth. Have fun with it, I know I did.</p> <p><strong>Co-MVP’s</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="923077" first="Blake" last="Buchanan"] <em>Hooptown Elite 17u Red</em></p> <p>[player_tooltip
