Gauntlet on the Gulf: 15U Day 3 Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 6-2 G Deandre Harvey – Team Fly Florida<br></strong>Harvey couldn't be contained, helping Team Fly race past OTOD after trailing 38-29 at the half, surging to a 76-71 win. The big guard was an impact maker around the rim. He scored on three putbacks and had multiple drives. Deandre was feeling it from outside as well, netting three threes in the second half to finish with 26 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 6-1 G [player_tooltip player_id='2299678' first='Jayden' last='Jackson'] – Team Fly Florida<br></strong>It was a tale of two halves for Team Fly and specifically [player_tooltip player_id='2299678' first='Jayden' last='Jackson']. After scoring just two points in the opening 16 minutes and seeing his team trail by nine points, Jackson cranked it up in the second half finishing with 15 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Before he hunted his offense on downhill drives, Jayden shined as a playmaker getting into the paint and floating in the air before dumping off assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 5-8 G Alexander Brown – OTOD<br></strong>The middle of the 2-3 zone, Alex embodies the toughness and effort of OTOD. He's great at digging down for strips in the post and is a magnet for the ball. He went 8-12 from the foul line en route to 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 6-0 G [player_tooltip player_id='1946206' first='Justis' last='Clements'] – OTOD<br></strong>Justis gets into the lane constantly. He thrives as a drive-and-kick creator. Clements slinks into the teeth of the defense to implode the structure. He had 17 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 5-7 G Ronald Clark – OTD<br></strong>Ronald's quickness sets up his game. He has a quick first step on offense and is a defensive dynamo in the full court. His active hands lead to dig out steals and transition opportunities. Clark posted 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 steals. He does a good job of dictating tempo.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 6-4 F Rashad Rowell – Camden Elite<br></strong>The double-double machine did it again on Sunday with 21 points, 17 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals. His physicality and ability to track down caroms was the best in the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024 5-10 PG Manny Goodman – Nine Strong<br></strong>The veteran southpaw sank floater after floater to lead Nine Strong to their first win. Goodman netted three high arcing tear drops and was effective as a driver drawing contact. He went 7-9 from the line and finished with 20 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in a 54-48 win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 6-3 W Leroy Smith – Nine Strong<br></strong>I liked Leroy's motor. He's long and active. More of a wing, Smith did a nice job defending in the paint when needed. Offensively he attacked from different levels. He drilled a pair of threes and two floaters. Smith posted 22 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks, showcasing his versatility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
