PGH Triumph Region Kick Off: Playing Up

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops hosted their Triumph Region Kick Off last weekend in Spartanburg, SC where teams from all over the southeast were there to compete against one another.  Travel basketball season brings a lot of good opportunities for players to perform in front of different audiences to show off their talent, and they get to travel with their teammates creating lasting memories on these trips.  While many players go from playing high school basketball where the age typically ranges about 4-5 years to playing only with their age group, some players choose to play with an older age group to prove they can compete on any level.  Let's take a look at some of the North Carolina players that were playing up with their organizations competing against older age groups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
