This final weekend is no different, with teams wanting to take home the title as the best team in their division for the region, we can know that this weekend will be beyond competitive. Below are 3 programs that can poitentially take home the title, and 2 more teams to keep an eye on. </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='834910' first='Example' last='Sports'] 2027 UA</strong> - Example is home to some of the best players in the country, not just the best players in the state. Each team has at least 3 D1 prospects on its squad, and this team is no different. They play fast, physical, and have won games by relying purely on their defense. I wouldn't be shocked to see this team take home the title for best in the 16U division. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='715556' first='Illinois' last='Dream'] 16U Pink</strong> - Though these players may fall under the radar from an individual standpoint, they are not an easy team to beat because these girls play together as one. There are star players on this squad, but they're at their best when they are putting pressure on the defense, and they can get up and own the floor quickly. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='716192' first='Wolverinas' last=''] 16U</strong> - If you've been following the [program_tooltip program_id='716192' first='Wolverinas' last=''] program over the last couple of years, then you might look at this team as a baby version of the famed Class of 2023 players. There is so much talent from top to bottom on this team, and most of these girls are still figuring out their skill sets. They play fast, they play as one, and almost every player can score on their own with no help. Another team that can take home the title as the best in this division. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='834910' first='Example' last='Sports'] 2027 Black </strong>- The second 16U team for Example can definitely keep up with some other programs' first team, and that's simply because the talent is present. They play with speed and confidence, and they're just not scared of anyone. A team that is definitely capable of not having any losses on their record this weekend. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Richmond Heat 16U - </strong>Although I've yet to watch them play in person, this program could surprise some opponents throughout the weekend. A few of their leading players on their rosters can hold their own, and I wouldn't doubt that as a unit, they can pull out a handful of wins over the weekend.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
