Grit Region Kick-Off: Seven Sunday Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just like that the Prep Hoops Circuit Grit Region Kick-Off has come and went. Teams ranging all the way from New York to Arkansas descended upon the MidAmerica Sports Center in Louisville, Kentucky to play four games between Saturday and Sunday. I had boots on the ground throughout the event providing extensive coverage on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/BRamseyKSR">@BRamseyKSR</a> and obviously here on the Prep Hoops website as well. We will have plenty of content over the next few days recapping the Grit Region Kick-Off, but first let's take a look at some of the standouts from Sunday's action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Camden Cole (Eagleville (TN) H.S. 2026/TN Brigade 2026): Cole was consistently one of the best 2026 prospects in the gym this weekend at the Grit Region Kick-Off. The versatile 6'2" wing dominated the competition while leading TN Brigade 2026 to a perfect 4-0 record. On Sunday, he turned in a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double against MAC Boys Basketball 2026 and followed it up with 14 points and 8 rebounds in a win over Indiana Ambition 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1158185' first='Will' last='Harmon'] (Massac County (IL) H.S. 2026/Team 4:13 2024): This skilled 6'0" lead guard was a big part of Team 4:13's success this weekend in Louisville. Harmon consistently made plays with the ball in his hands both scoring it himself or facilitating to his teammates on their way to a 4-0 record. Hard not to come away impressed with his all-around skill level and basketball IQ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jayden Marr (Green County (KY) H.S. 2025/New Outlawz 2025): Marr went off in New Outlawz 2025 morning win over Rock Summit Basketball 2025. The 6'1" guard knocked in five three-pointers and scored a game-high 25 points in that contest. His shot-making ability from both beyond the arc and in the mid-range is what really stands out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Torrien Perkins (Obama Academy (PA) 2024/Pittsburgh Pioneer Elite 2024): In one of the best games of the weekend, Pittsburgh Pioneer Elite 2024 came away with a hard fought 57-54 victory over Kentucky Supreme 2024. Perkins, a 6'3" guard, led the way for Pioneer Elite scoring 18 points while showcasing his offensive versatility. He is a great athlete, very strong, and can stroke it from three-point range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Joel Sanders (Vincennes Lincoln (IN) H.S. 2025/Indiana Ambition 2025): Sanders showcased his ability to get hot in a hurry from beyond the arc in Indiana Ambition's 72-36 win over Circle City Shooters Elite 2025. The 6'2" wing connected on five three-pointers on his way to a game-high 19 points. On the weekend, Indiana Ambition 2025 went 4-0 winning by an average margin of more than 37 points per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chrishon Woodward (North Central (IN) H.S. 2026/Circle City Shooters Elite 2026): The physical tools standout immediately on this strong, athletic 6'5" forward. However, his skill level is what keeps you intrigued. Woodward scored it in a variety of ways in Circle City Shooters Elite 2026's 80-77 win over Indiana Ambition 2026. He handles the ball well for his size, has a smooth shooting stroke from beyond the arc, and can finish at a high level around the basket. Really impressive performance on Sunday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tino Yli-Junnila (Hudson (OH) H.S. 2024/MAC Boys Basketball 2024): Admittedly, we didn't really get to see MAC Boys Basketball 2024 get tested this weekend in Louisville aside from their 93-88 win over Vision 2024 Elite. In their final game, a 78-40 win over NEBC 2024, Yli-Junnila capped off his impressive Grit Region Kick-Off with a game-high 17 points. The skilled, athletic 6'5" wing is a very intriguing prospect that should garner a ton of attention this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
