<p>NEXT LEVEL brought numerous teams to Knoxville TN for the Miracle Classic, and the organization took home numerous Gold bracket championships too. Next Level won the 8th, 9th, & 10th grade divisions! Those 3 teams played exceptional basketball! If you get a chance to play these athletes, you know you are getting better! Smart players, coached extremely well, and all of the athletes completely engage and buy in! I was impressed with all of their teams! Congrats on taking home a few championships!</p>

<p>[program_tooltip program_id='713868' first='TN' last='TopGun'] Basketball continues to prove why they are one of the best teams! The TopGun team won the 11th grade gold bracket championship! Coach has this group playing together, and playing a great style of basketball. On any given night one or more of their athletes can get you 15-20 points. The entire team defends! If you know anything about me yet, I LOVE great lock down defenders and this group isn't afraid of anyone! The roster includes: [player_tooltip player_id='810533' first='Alyssa' last='Petty'], Katy Fletcher, [player_tooltip player_id='800024' first='Audri' last='Patton'], Na'Kayjah Holman, [player_tooltip player_id='780456' first='Jules' last='Ferrell'], Gracen Baggett, [player_tooltip player_id='409039' first='Ellie' last='Graham'], & [player_tooltip player_id='514120' first='Natalie' last='Barnes']. If I am a college coach, I am making a point to watch this team at every single live event! Congratulations on bringing home the championship in the Gold division! </p>

<p>If you get a chance to play Next Level 8th, Next Level 9th, or the Next Level 10th grade group; you know you are getting better. Remember, iron sharpens iron! </p>

<p>I'm definitely tuning in to watch the [program_tooltip program_id='713868' first='TN' last='TopGun'] group more. I advise ALL college coaches to do the same. The team is full of next level talent! </p>

<p>Last, but not least, make sure to follow the group that is up next. Yes, they are young, & I hope they continue to enjoy being a kid with their teammates, and grow on the court, because the future is extremely bright for all of you in the FBC Reign '29 group! </p>
