<p>Over 120 girls converge on MSA Woodland in Grand Rapids. Players from all over the state played three games and had the chance to shine in front of college coaches, myself, and Scott Hankamp. I walked away with a list of kids that I can't wait to follow this year. The competition was intense, yet I saw a lot of kids just enjoying the game. Below are some notes that I jotted down from the event.</p>
