Shivers plays a bit off the grid at times being down on the coast in Wilmington. Tristan averaged 16.2 ppg and 6.9 assists this past season for the Lady Vikings (30-2). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tristan was on point today with her play from the backcourt. She really showed good court vision while finding open teammates up the floor. Tristan really used a strong mid-range game all day long. She played great going to the basket while showcasing good body control. Shivers dropped 23 points while converting 11 shots from the floor - all 2-pointers. VERY PRODUCTIVE with her game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1251152,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/05/eZy-Watermark_26-05-2025_08-31-24-5890PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1251152" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1251129' first='Abigal' last='Hargro']</strong> - Thomas Jefferson Classical (Mooresboro) - [program_tooltip program_id='713005' first='Upward' last='Stars'] Gold 16U </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hargro was a very pleasant surprise for the Red and White down in the paint. She was not in attendance last month at Adidas Session 1 in Rock Hill for [program_tooltip program_id='713005' first='Upward' last='Stars'] Gold 16U. Abigal really worked and commanded position down low on the block. She has soft hands and a soft touch from 6-8 feet out. Abigal did a nice job of playing on contact and really using her body to carve out space at times. She plays as a true post while on floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1251157,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/05/eZy-Watermark_25-05-2025_02-43-59-7260AM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1251157" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='741652' first='Brianna' last='Norman']</strong> - Norfolk Christian (VA) - [program_tooltip program_id='713538' first='Carolina' last='Flames']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Norman is just an 8th grader and a member of the 2029 Class in Virginia. Brianna was great in the open court and pushing the rock up the floor in transition. She found herself playing up a few age groups today. She had no problems touching the paint here today and making plays for herself and keeping her teammates happy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Well, this is just a sample of the coverage from here today at the Phenom Memorial Day Classic.
