Capital Hoop Fest 17U All Tournament Team
WASHINGTON, D.C. — There were no shortage of great performances at the Elevate Hoops Capital Hoop Fest last weekend.
Of course, that made picking players for our division-by-division all-tournament teams a difficult task. There were plenty of worthy candidates. We tried to identify the players who were at their best from start to finish, factoring in our own observations and notes with nominations from program directors and coaches.
Here is what we came up with in the highly competitive 17U Division:
MVP
’18 NOAH LOCKE | TEAM MELO
This was a toss up between Noah Locke and Brendan Adams, but Locke gets the nod for his contributions on both ends of the floor. Both guards are very versatile, and work well with one another.
ALL TOURNAMENT TEAM
’18 BRENDAN ADAMS | TEAM MELO EYBL
’19 KAMDYN CURFMAN | FAIRFAX STARS
’18 SHERWYN DEVONISH | MARYLAND’S FINEST
