The Iverson Classic Blackout Signature Series took place Friday and Saturday at The Villages, delivering 29 games and a weekend packed with high-level competition. Featuring many of the state's top teams and prospects, the event showcased standout performances across multiple classes. Here is a look at the Top 5 performances from the weekend.    Possibly the nation's top prospect in the 2029 class, Brooks turned in two impressive performances over the weekend as SLAM finished 1–1. The left-handed wing is a high-level scorer with excellent positional size, above-average athleticism, and a strong feel for the game. The freshman poured in 29 points in an overtime win over Windermere High, consistently putting pressure on the defense and knocking down 14 free throws. Brooks scores efficiently at all three levels, can create shots off the bounce, and shows toughness and aggression when attacking the rim.     The junior guard scored 23 points in each of two narrow victories for the Crusaders. Flores has a natural scoring instinct and consistently finds ways to put the ball in the basket. He can create his own offense off the bounce, is a reliable three-point shooter, and does a good job of drawing contact to earn trips to the free-throw line. His ability to impact close games makes him a prospect to monitor closely as his recruitment develops this offseason.     One of the state's top scorers, Bell poured in 33 points for the Bears in a loss to The Academy of Central Florida. The sophomore is a true three-level scorer with a very high basketball IQ. He understands how to use screens to his advantage, is adept at drawing contact on the offensive end, and consistently puts pressure on the defense. In the paint, Bell is a creative finisher, and he is especially efficient in the midrange, where he can score over defenders with confidence.     One of the nation's top prospects in the 2027 class, Hampton delivered a standout performance with 30 points in a win over The Academy of Central Florida. The junior was locked in from beyond the arc, knocking down four three-point field goals and stretching the defense throughout the game. He has excellent length, is comfortable making contested shots, and has continued to grow into a more efficient and reliable scorer.     The top prospect for the host school, Britt turned in two solid performances during the Buffaloes' weekend split. The junior shot the ball well from beyond the arc and showed his ability to impact the game as both a scorer and distributor. Britt plays with confidence and toughness, and he flashes leadership qualities as a scoring lead guard who can set the tone for his team.
