<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Thanksgiving Eve, nearly twenty high school teams converged on Grand Rapids Christian High School for the West Michigan Invitational Scrimmage. The GRC campus is beautiful, and I always love going to the west side of the state. Not only is Grand Rapids home to some of the best basketball in the state, it is also home to my favorite soup shop: Uncle Cheetah's. I was favored with sunshine, soup, and great hoops. The following kids caught my eye for being relentless on the court, where they left it all.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["417916"],"_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":"I've had a chance to watch Brooklyn play a couple of times now, and both times I came away impressed by her energy and grit.
