The Varsity Division at the HoopPlay USA Nationals featured some really good talent. There were plenty of players that will be playing at the next level. I even got the opportunity to see a few players that are rising freshmen that held their own against the much older competition. Check out the players that made the Arkansas All-Tournament Team.
