Matriarch Classic: 16U All-Tournament Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2nd Annual Matriarch Classic took place and I got to see some good ball games and some impressive individual performances. Keep reading below to see the five players that made the All-Tournament team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='465582' first='India' last='Robinson'] | Guard | Ro Johnson Elite</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>India has been in the gym. It's always great to see players improve in different areas of their game. I immediately saw her improvement with her ability to make the three-point shot. She also showed the ability to get to the rim off the dribble, she finished in transition and through contact. India also did a good job defensively with her anticipation, playing the passing lanes, and get steals and deflections.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='465508' first='Rayleigh' last='Turner'] | Guard | AR United</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I always enjoy watching Rayliegh play. She's an athletic guard that can get up and down the floor with her ability to change direction and speed. Rayleigh can deliver on target passes off the dribble, finish in the lane in traffic, shoots the three, and has quick hands on defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1060855' first='Kale' last='Elrod'] | Wing | Be Elite</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kale did a good job of attacking off the dribble. She was always ready to attack off the catch and was able to get down hill to make a play. Kale likes to shoot the short jumper and if she missed, she fought for the offensive rebound to score the put back. She played tough on both ends and brought a lot of energy on defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mekalla Robinson | Guard | RV Elite Spurs</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A poised point guard that has a nice spin move. Just when the defense thought they could go for a steal, Mekalla would spin off and continue toward the rim to make a play. In the open court she was also tough to contain. She could finish in the lane or find the open player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1060862' first='Kristyn' last='Cooper'] | Point Guard | Ro Johnson Elite</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kristyn is a fireball. When you talk about players that will give you their all to win a game, it's definitely her. She played with a passion all weekend that was unmatched. Really good on ball defender, ran the team well, finished in the paint with a runner, and got others involved.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
