Lady Attack Elite 16U National Feature

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lady Attack Elite 16U National features a variety of players in the 2025 class who have had strong high school seasons leading right into their grassroots season.  I was able to catch a couple games of theirs at the Lamelo Ball invitational.  Let's take a look at the players that make this team so dangerous.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
