The Stage – 15u All-Tournament Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 15u bracket certainly showed out in Indianapolis, Indiana where the Prep Hoops Circuit held The Stage last weekend. There were high quality players and performances scattered all around the city. We are going to give you a 1st and 2nd team for the All-Tournament lineups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Please keep in mind that these teams are made up really by what I witnessed this weekend. With so many teams and games, I'm sure there are other athletes that played very well at the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1936345,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/image_from_ios-1.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/image_from_ios-1.jpg?w=865" alt="" class="wp-image-1936345" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1ST TEAM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561118"],"_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":"Harris was explosive as explosive could be at The Stage.
