Zero Gravity MA States: DB Elite Delivers at Dana Barros

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article, I want to highlight another standout team from the Zero Gravity MA State Championship tournament this weekend. Like the <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/05/zero-gravity-ma-states-ma-huskies-standouts/">MA Huskies</a>, this team also took home the championship in their division (Division 1/2 Red). On Saturday, I made the trip to Dana Barros in Stoughton, MA, where I watched a very talented varsity DB Elite squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Congratulations to the team! There were many strong players (that I hope to cover in the future), but here are a few who really stood out to me:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1181941"],"_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-681b95dfb79fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kirsten is an active, high-energy player.
