Competing against high-level talent from across the country, Team Loaded showed why they've become one of the hottest teams on the circuit this spring and summer.   The weekend wasn't just about winning games; it was about how they won. Team Loaded Gold controlled games on both ends of the floor with toughness, unselfishness, defensive intensity, and high-level execution. The group consistently made the right basketball plays, defended at a high level, and played with tremendous chemistry throughout the event.   With the undefeated weekend, Team Loaded Gold officially punched their ticket to the 3SSB Gold Finals, a major accomplishment for the program and a reflection of the growth this group has shown all season long.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trenton Smalling Continues Breakout Summer</h2>    One of the biggest stock-risers of the weekend was 2027 guard Trenton Smalling. The athletic combo guard averaged 14 points and 5 rebounds per game while making a major impact on both sides of the floor. Smalling's blend of explosiveness, scoring ability, and defensive activity consistently stood out throughout the live period.   At 6-foot-4, Smalling creates matchup problems with his size and athleticism in the backcourt. He scored efficiently from multiple levels, knocking down perimeter shots while also attacking downhill and finishing through contact at the rim. His confidence offensively continues to grow each weekend, and he's become a reliable scoring option whenever Team Loaded needs a basket.   Defensively, Smalling embraced tough assignments and used his length and instincts to disrupt opposing guards. His energy, athleticism, and ability to impact winning played a huge role in the team's success in Texas.   After his strong showing, Smalling earned All-Tournament First Team honors and continued to prove he's one of the top rising guards in Virginia's 2027 class.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Abram Schrinel Dominates Both Ends</h2>    Few players in attendance had as complete of a weekend as 2027 wing Abram Schrinel. The 6-foot-6 prospect was dominant throughout the event and showcased why his recruitment continues to trend upward.   Schrinel earned both 17U MVP honors and All-Tournament Second Team recognition after leading Team Loaded Gold on both ends of the floor. His versatility continues to be one of his biggest strengths. Whether scoring inside, stretching the floor from deep, rebounding in traffic, or defending multiple positions, Schrinel impacted the game in every possible way.   What makes Schrinel so intriguing long term is his ability to blend size, skill, and toughness. He consistently made winning plays throughout the weekend and played with a high motor every game. Offensively, he was efficient and under control while also showing the ability to create offense for himself when needed.   Defensively, his activity level stood out. Schrinel used his length and instincts to create turnovers, contest shots, and guard multiple positions effectively. His all-around performance helped set the tone for Team Loaded throughout the weekend.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">MJ Montague Lights It Up From Deep</h2>    2027 guard MJ Montague also had a tremendous weekend and earned All-Tournament Second Team honors after putting together multiple strong performances in Texas.   Montague proved once again why he's regarded as one of the better shooters in the region. The sharpshooting guard consistently stretched defenses with his ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc at a high percentage. His confidence and shot-making ability gave Team Loaded another dangerous offensive weapon throughout the weekend.   What stood out most was Montague's ability to hit timely shots in key moments. Whether in transition, off kick-outs, or coming off movement actions, he consistently made defenses pay for helping off him. His floor spacing and offensive feel created opportunities not only for himself, but for his teammates as well.   Beyond the scoring, Montague competed defensively and played within the flow of the offense, helping Team Loaded maintain balance offensively throughout the event.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Team Loaded Gold Trending Up</h2>   Team Loaded 804 Gold continues to look like one of the more complete teams on the 3SSB Gold circuit.
