Bridges and his performance was just a testament of hard work and dedication. In a showcase setting sometimes it is difficult to pick for acknowledgements, but Bridges wins the hard work award. Coaches always talk about effort, and never giving up on a play. Doing all the little things like boxing out, running the floor, rebounding, making the extra pass and playing with good energy. Brody was always able to effect the game because he locked in on the details of the game. He truly deserves his Honorable Mention Selection.

Brody Bridges Brody Bridges 6'4" | CG/SG Oak Forest Academy | 2027 State LA is one of the top players in the state, consistently showing a never-quit mentality on the court. He possesses the size and skill necessary to compete at the next level and was a standout at the showcase. Whether finishing at the rim with a floater or using his efficient dribble moves to create space for his one-dribble pull-up, Bridges was solid offensively. He also shot the ball well, crashed the boards, and facilitated for teammates, all while demonstrating strong defensive effort. I had to highlight him as a standout in one of his games. Bridges embodies what coaches seek: smart, competitive, selfless, and highly skilled all in an efficient package.
