Starting with a game Friday night and continuing through Sunday afternoon the teams played four games. With the dust settled on the event it is time to finally share the players selected event all-tournament teams. I collaborated with my Oklahoma based Prep Girls Hoops/Prep Hoops colleagues Johnny Vick and Sam Duran in scouting the 15U event. We have broken out all-tournament recognition by pools since each of us saw different batches of teams. First up, the Battle In The Big Friendly Pool A first team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":410655,"width":"110px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/04/30-Sarai-Graham-scaled.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-410655" style="width:110px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Wichita Northeast Magnet and [program_tooltip program_id='712424' first='B2B' last='Kansas Bluejays'] 2028 [player_tooltip player_id='894521' first='Sarai' last='Graham'].

She worked at the top of full court pressure and can speed up ball handlers to create turnovers. Offensively Carter got to the rim, split defenders in broken play situations and scored creatively off the bounce and inside with either hand. She also shot the ball well from the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":904117,"width":"106px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","align":"right"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/05/Millie-MacPherson-2027-Missouri-Flight-2027.-Logan-Rogersville-MO.jpg?w=720" alt="" class="wp-image-904117" style="width:106px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Logan-Rogersville and Missouri Flight 2027 Millie MacPherson.

She also showed quickness to get into the paint and score through contact. Graham is fast, has quick hands and is successful at generating turnovers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":904120,"width":"96px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/05/Reid-Ragsdale-2028-Triumph-2027-Select-Lake-Highlands-TX.jpg?w=720" alt="" class="wp-image-904120" style="width:96px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Lake Highlands and Triumph Basketball 2028 Reid Ragsdale.

She was a standout in both games that I watched...which were back-to-back tight games. She has terrific court vision and good handles. Her passing accuracy should improve quickly but she repeatedly saw the play to be made. MacPherson shot well on the perimeter with a quick release and showed solid handles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":904123,"width":"86px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","align":"right"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/05/Khloe-Young-2029-BTR-2027-UA-Dell-City-TX.jpg?w=720" alt="" class="wp-image-904123" style="width:86px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Dell City and BTR 2029 Khloe Young.

She finishes with athleticism and elevation, altering her shot as needed depending on the shot challenge. Her teammates did some nice things to push her team to a solid win but Ragsdale gave them that extra ability that was hard to take away. Defensively she showed solid hand speed and good transition ability off a quick possession change.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Khloe Young</strong>, [program_tooltip program_id='712433' first='BTR' last=''] 2027 UA, Dell City (OK), 2029 - Young showed herself to be a terrific combination of speed, quickness and strong handles. Her quickness, length and aggressiveness enables young to be a sticky perimeter defender as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
