The National Championship – 2025 Notebook – Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The final grassroots tournament of the season that I was able to attend was The National Championship in Louisville, Kentucky. The Kentucky Exposition Center was filled with talent on 50 courts all under one roof. Here's a look at a few who played in their final AAU tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["424155"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a974b286c3a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Farr is a poised point guard with next-level court vision. She can handle pressure and is a vocal leader on the floor. She uses a jab-step to blow by her defenders, and she is not afraid of contact when she gets in the lane. Alison has some options to play at the next level, and I'm excited to see where she will choose.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["613011"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a974b286c97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">France concluded her AAU career with an exceptional summer of basketball. She is an athletic post who can dominate both ends of the floor. She runs the floor in transition and will protect the rim on defense. She has many options to choose from to play at the next level, and I'm eagerly waiting to hear where she will make her next four-year home. But first, expect a dominating senior season with her Traverse City Central team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796703"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a974b286ce0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pung had a great ending to her AAU career at The National Championship in Louisville. The shooting guard does a great job of moving without the ball to find the open spot on the floor for her to get her shot off. She doesn't need much room to get her shot off and connected on multiple shots behind the arc. She is a strong defender who plays the passing lanes, jumps the ball on the pass, and closes out strong. I'm expecting a big senior season for Kylie.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["424152"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a974b286d24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brumfield ended her AAU career with a strong performance at the National Championship in Louisville. Being a skilled point guard, she serves as an extension of the coach on the court, making her a valuable asset for any team. I'm looking forward to seeing her achievements in her senior season and her future endeavors after high school.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["424161"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a974b286d67"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fenlon is a long, athletic guard who runs the floor hard in transition and rebounds at a high rate from her guard position. She gets downhill and can finish in traffic. She finished her AAU season playing some of her best basketball. I'm excited to watch her this winter during her senior campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
