<p>This weekend, I got to spend lots of time covering some of the top 15u teams at PH live in Batavia. After covering lots of action, I've compiled my all-tournament selections. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This is the first time I also gave a co-MVP. Given to [player_tooltip player_id='2394170' first='Alex' last='Loos'] (58 Hoops - MN) and Khaliq Austin (PACK - ND). It was difficult to distinguish who should deserve the honor with both having tremendous weekends.</p>

<p><strong>1ST TEAM</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2394170' first='Alex' last='Loos'] (co-mvp) - 58 Hoops</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Loos was sensational all weekend. Averaged just under 20 points per game this weekend while leading his team to a 3-1 record in the A-pool. Loos would add on to that withtons of assists and rebound opportunities as the weekend progressed. A player that made everyone around him better. </p>

<p><strong>Khaliq Austin (co-mvp) - PACK</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He's got D1 written all over him, and that showed this weekend. Every possession he changed the game. Explosive attacking the rim and a consistent shooter. Defense was just as elite. 31 pts in his first game vs Get Better. Had another 30-pt game the following day vs Era elite. A true game-changer on the floor.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2865218' first='Tommy' last='Dwyer'] - Get Better National </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dwyer was arguably the best shooter I watched this weekend. Never seemed to lose his touch throughout the weekend. 23 points vs Pack was one of his best performances. Added another 12 pts vs 58 hoops on Sunday. Anywhere outside the arc is a hot zone!</p>

<p><strong>Nolin Pearce - Era Sports</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pearce displayed so much upside this week which helped Era earn a tie for first place in the 15u A-Pool. Kept his team in a very difficult game to star the weekend on Saturday with 18 2nd half points. Best game came against Pack, who were unbeaten at the time. Dropping 24 points to give them. Chance of co-winning the group.</p>

<p><strong>Tracen Roush - Era Sports</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Led Era Elite with 27 points in a win vs Pack this weekend. Helping secure a three-way tie for first place in the 15u A-Pool. Added another 18 points in a win vs 15u lockdown later that day. Athletic two-way wing who created a powerful 1-2 punch with Pearce.</p>
