<p class="has-medium-font-size" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:100">It's TOURNAMENT TIME!! Prep Hoops is putting on the Hard Work Region Finals this weekend in Minnesota. The bracket-style event will take place at Maple Grove Middle School and Shakopee High School.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>PHD is a big fan of the tourney style event instead of pool play, the intensity level gets ramped up. It is always fun to see teams execute late in games when they know a win will move them on in the winners bracket and a loss will send them to the left side.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Nate is a great shooter who averages 4 made triples per game. If he gets any space, Whitaker will knock down the shot. He is also smart about creating space/room for his shot. Nate leads Power Circle in scoring but is also a great facilitator. He gets the job done on defense and is a leader on the floor. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">He is developing his game offensively but is coming along nicely. Oliver is tough in "zoom action" and he shoots it well from 15-feet. He is also an excellent defender. Evan is a legit rim protector, he averages 3.5 blocks per game on the PH Circuit.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">He hoops with [program_tooltip program_id='2075704' first='MN' last='Rise']. Potts is a solid all-around player who scores at all three levels. He defends multiple positions and takes advantage of mismatches on the offensive end. Owen is known as an elite shooter but is upgrading his back-to-the-basket game.</p>
