This talent deserves to be seen. Write these names down and follow these kids through their athletic journeys. The future is bright!
Addison Bunn
Addison Bunn
So many good things can be said about this young guard! I couldn’t believe that she was in the 8th grade! Bunn held her own against some tough high school competition! Shoots the 3 exceptionally well! Has a great understanding and feel for the game! Addison had a lot of people talking at the Elite 80. I’ll definitely be following her throughout her career! One for everyone to keep their eyes on!

DK is lightning quick! You don’t even have time to blink. Defends at a high level & turns defense into offense quickly! If she jumps a pass, she is gone and no one is catching her. Extremely impressed with this young guards speed and defense!
Kadie Bremer
Kadie Bremer
Bremer can pull out some moves that you can tell she puts in the time to work on! Kadie has a beautiful euro step that has others stunned. Another 8th grader that held her own against high school competition at the Elite 80!
Wade stays impressive in the post! Steps out and knocks down big time shots. A great passer from the low block! You can try to double team her but Cloey uses her size and length to her advantage & finds the open player! A class of 2025 that college coaches should be looking at!

Richmond was not going to be stopped in the post! Rebounds exceptionally well on the offensive and defensive side! Finished through contact and provides her team numerous offensive possessions! Talk about clearing the glass, Payton does that and more! Will make you pay if you play behind her because she will post you up! Did I mention that she is a freshman? The future is so bright for this young athlete!
Alexa Crosby
Alexa Crosby
I don’t know how many 7th graders play up at the high school events but Crosby did! This young guard held her own against the high school kids! Takes care of the ball & has an extremely high IQ! Alexa has a beautiful 3 point shot. I have no doubt that college coaches from all over the country will be following this young star!
Kiley Norwood
Kiley Norwood
Norwood is a lot of fun to watch! I love watching players that have a high basketball IQ & Kiley is one of those players! Another 8th grader playing up at the Elite80! Norwood plays with a sense of urgency. Pushes the ball and runs the floor exceptionally well!
Emily Atchley
Emily Atchley
Atchley is a force on the low block! If she backs you down or posts you up, it’s over! Plays very aggressively & goes hard on every position! One of the top rebounders on the court at the Elite 80. Definitely a fundamentally sound player that shows tremendous growth to her overall game!

Young stays attacking on offense. Has a beautiful floater that is extremely difficult to defend! Kyle knocks down open shots & makes correct reads to her teammates! Young adds so much value to a great TKA squad! The future is bright for Young and I can’t wait to watch the TKA games this year!
