BISBI Notebook: Standouts Viewed V:3

Another successful BISBI is in the books, and as expected, the event featured no shortage of talent from across Arizona. Over the course of three days, players had the opportunity to compete against quality competition and showcase their skill sets in a highly competitive environment. Several prospects made the most of that opportunity and turned in strong performances throughout the weekend. Here are some of the players who stood out most.
