AAU Preview: TTO National 17U

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Very excited to start a new series spotlighting individual grassroots teams in the area to give our audience their roster, schedule, and a description for each student-athlete. We begin with [program_tooltip program_id='2077004' first='Team' last='Takeover'] National's 17u squad coached by Chuck Henry. We tapped in with the team at a practice last week at DC's Archbishop Carroll and came away impressed with the depth and versatile skillsets of the roster. Interested to see how the rotation shakes out!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Guards:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1969210"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"-A quick, defensive-minded, distributing point guard with good feel playing up on this 17u team.
