Continue ReadingTFN’s Run 4 Roses was the premier event of the grassroots season. 2,700+ teams. 1,500+ college coaches. 100+ courts across 7 venues. 48 divisions. World Record for Youth Basketball Team Attendance. There were so many talented teams and players competing in Louisville across the seven day span. It obviously would’ve been impossible to catch everyone, but I did my best to catch multiple teams in multiple different divisions. Here are some of the guards that stood out to me in the 2024 divisions.
Started off the game I caught by knocking down a nice pull-up triple off the dribble and continued to show her ability to knock down shots from there. Quick release let her get her shot off quickly. Also showed good ball handling skills and court awareness.
Knockdown shooter. Showed an ability to play any guard position effectively. She showed a ton of toughness and grit. Played absolutely fearless.
Consistently stayed so poised and in control. Good ball handling skills allowed her to handle pressure well. Made great drives to get into the paint. Saw and delivered great passes. Excellent outside shooter with deep range.

Athletic and tough guard. Showed that she was a true playmaker. Constantly looked to draw help and kick to teammates and showed that she could score at multiple levels herself. Tenacious defender.

Truthfully was going to include her in my standout forwards article, but she was playing both guard and forward seamlessly so decided to put her in here instead. Has great length and versatility. Constantly moving on both ends of the court. Can score around the basket all the way out to the perimeter. Can also guard multiple positions and used her length to alter shots defensively.
Another versatile player that showed she can play and guard multiple positions. Very athletic and tough. Elevated to grab rebounds and to get her shot off over defenders. Just really solid overall.
