<p>I watched a bunch of full and half of some of the games. I obviously did not watch every team and when I watched, I am basing it on that performance and on the teams success combined. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are the All Section-7 Qualifier Most Versatile</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2724507' first='Preston' last='Bauer'] Notre Dame Prep </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A bigger guard/wing who took over the game in OT in the Elite-8 and he continued to shine to win the bracket and advance to the weekend. He made some huge plays with threes, rip thrus and he is a good second and third jumper to score on put backs. He gets downhill and can spin off of his defender and finish. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2552795' first='Chase' last='Forman'] Notre Dame Prep </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A wing forward with good size does a little bit of everything for the team. He can defend multiple positions and he rebounds well in his area. He is a smart passer and makes good decisions with the ball. He will score it perimeter jumpers and drives. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2990378' first='Kaden' last='Lea'] Buena</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A long athletic wing will rebound and block shots. He will score with put backs, rip thrus and fade aways from the mid post with a defender on him. He throws his live body around and will grab rebounds out of his area. He keeps on impressing over the last month.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2506446' first='David' last='Mujambere'] Salpointe Catholic </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A strong lefty wing forward is tough and skilled. The southpaw loves attacking the basket with his good handle and will score it with heavy contact and with offensive rebound put backs. He is a more then capable three point shooter and plays hard.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396185' first='Zathan' last='Ruffin'] NVCA</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A versatile Swiss Army Knife who loves getting downhill with his left but showed how talented he was on defense. He was defending post players and then switching on point guards and collecting steals, rebounding everything in his area and blocking shots. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3667472' first='Kaleb' last='Scott'] La Joya (Pictured)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A live bodied wing forward can play and defend multiple positions. He will score with offensive rebound put backs, euro steps and gets to the free throw line often. He plays with a good motor to rebound and will also score with rip thrus and plays with aggression. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2146291' first='Jake' last='Steele'] Arizona College Prep </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A wing forward is a big transfer from Hamilton. He truly just knows how to play and seems to make the correct read like a point forward every time. He will play and defend multiple positions and score with drives, ball fakes, jumpers and even take charges with toughness. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2507246' first='Quincee' last='Wilson'] Kellis</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A long wing forward with a little skill and athleticism. He is a plus rebounder in his area with his size and length and moves really well in space. He is a capable three point shooter and likes to slash to the basket. He will also score it with put backs on the glass. </p>
