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!
TN 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: Alyssa Petty Alyssa Petty 5'10" | SF Lincoln Co. | 2025 State TN , Katy Fletcher, Audri Patton Audri Patton 5'8" | SG Coffee County Central | 2026 State TN , Na’Kayjah Holman, Jules Ferrell Jules Ferrell 5'7" | PG Coffee County Central | 2027 State TN , Gracen Baggett, Ellie Graham Ellie Graham 6'0" | SF Moore Co. | 2025 State TN , & Natalie Barnes Natalie Barnes 5'7" | SG Coffee Co. | 2026 State TN . 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!
FBC Reign (Gilbert) brought home the 7th grade Gold division championship! The young champs went 6-0. This may just be the best ’29 AAU group in the state! The roster includes: Kenady Deal, Christa Thacker, Lexi Clark, Kelby Stone, Lily Brock, Taylor Amos, Callie Gilbert, & Emery South.
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!
I’m definitely tuning in to watch the TN TopGun group more. I advise ALL college coaches to do the same. The team is full of next level talent!
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!
