Prep Hoops Grit Region Kick Off – 15u All-Tournament

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The annual Prep Hoops Grit Region Kick Off was certainly a success. Teams from New York to Arkansas and everywhere in between descended on the MidAmerica Sports Center in Louisville, Kentucky for three great days of basketball. As always, our Prep Hoops staff had boots on the ground providing unparalleled event coverage throughout the event. Now, the content will continue to rollout over the next couple of days before turning our attention to the Chi-Town Tip Off. Let's begin with naming our All-Tournament teams. Here are the individuals that Scotty Burgess and myself have selected for the 15u All-Tournament teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">First Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2384112"],"_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":"There is always going to be a spot on the All-Tournament First Team for a guy who fits the u0022best player on the best teamu0022 mold.
