<span style="font-weight: 400;">This past weekend, the Prep Hoops Girls circuit descended down to East Tennessee. The Knoxville Knockout was a great tournament for teams to get a good run in prior to the live period this upcoming weekend. Teams came through looking to refine some of their skills , chemistry, and game plans, providing those in attendance a great opportunity to take in some action.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A few clubs from the Tennessee area came through to participate in the event. No knock on any clubs out there, but the Tennessee teams held their own and made some noise. The girls showed why this state is super tough when it comes to the women’s game. The Tennessee clubs played scrappy, hard nosed D, and were really hooping it up on the hardwood. Throughout the weekend, you could see our young ladies start to build confidence as they displayed their talents.</span>
