Another Tennessee Team Take The Natty In NE2k 2026 Division!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When I told you the [program_tooltip program_id='713296' first='Team' last='Brandan Wright'] program was looking to leave their stamp on this tournament, I meant it, and&nbsp; they did just that. Live from the Lou, several of their ball clubs went deep into bracket play. I have already highlighted the squad who won the Elite 40, now it's time to give props to the young ladies who won the NE2k division for the 2025s.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coached by Spencer Richardson, these kids battled and fought hard. They were clicking on all cylinders, playing with lots of energy. Knocking shots down from 3, winning the war on the inside, they had that “Me 4 us” mentality playing selfless basketball. The kids were grinding it out and when I tell you they were in attack mode, they were that and then some. The kids played great. A true collective effort. TBW Red won 52-32, bringing the trophy back to Tennessee.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are the young ladies from TBW Red who left everything all out on the court .</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='513285' first='Reese' last='Shirley'] (5'8/G/ Jr./ Columbia Academy)</strong>- Versatile player who plays with a lot of heart and tenacity.
