Rumble In The Rapids: 15u MOP

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's hard to pick an MOP when the talent is deep like it was at Rumble In The Rapids in the 15u bracket. For the Most Outstanding Player, to narrow the field, I'm going to choose from the 1st Team All-Tournament players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>HONORABLE MENTIONS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1890552"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Chapman was a head turner at Rumble In The Rapids.

He was the floor general and leader of a Swish 2026 team that went undefeated at Rumble In The Rapids. Let's start with his ball handling. He didn't waste dribbles or let the ball stick with him. Edmonds kept the ball low and protected and was able to carve his way into the lane seemingly at any time. From there, his passing stood out. Edmonds saw the floor well and made some really impressive passes while on the move. Edmonds was the head of the snake for the top team in the bracket last weekend, so he more than deserves to be named the MOP.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64302d548fb21"} /-->
