FOP Basketball International Friendly MVPs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Friends of the Program Basketball hosted an International Friendly between various high school teams from [program_tooltip program_id='713558' first='Lady' last='Attack Elite'] and the Manchester Magic and Mystics tonight.  It was a great opportunity from teams in different counties to come together on the same court sharing their love for the game of basketball.  I was able to see all six teams play that participated in the event, and these are my Most Valuable Players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
