(Staley): The 6’6 2023 forward was dominant all weekend in leading the Falcons to the championship. The Big Fish played with strength and athleticism as he scored in the paint at will and easily led the tournament in dunks. He can also step out and hit a 3-pointer. He was also running the floor and playing with a high motor.

(Staley): The 6’1” 2023 point guard ran the club to perfection in leading the Falcons to the championship. His court vision was tremendous as he dropped some exquisite no-look dimes throughout the weekend. He controlled the pace of play, fed the bigs inside and knocked down perimeter jumpers.
PJ Farmer (Charleston): The 6’1” 2025 guard was the top scorer at the event as he led the Bluejays to a berth in the championship game. He’s a talented shot maker and shot creator. He scored 26 points in the semifinals against CBC and 30 points in the championship game against Staley. He’s a powerful guard who scored on many tough takes to the basket. He combined that with a feathery 3-point stroke that extends well past the line.

(Webster Groves): The 6’4″ 2024 forward was a matchup nightmare throughout the weekend as he showcased his offensive skills from all three levels. He was facing up defenders and knocking down 3-pointers while also backing them down for jump hooks and layups in the post. He is also a very capable playmaker with his ball handling and passing skills. He has also improved his lift as he can throw down a slam dunk.
Anthony Gause (CBC): The 6’1″ 2024 guard enjoyed an impressive weekend shooting the basketball. He was potent on offense from all three levels and he was smooth and under control. He was knocking down 3-pointers off the catch and hitting pull up jumpers in the transition game.
