Sunday’s 17U Standouts at Triumph Region Finals

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Day Two of the Triumph Region Finals is in the books at Columbus State University. Teams from GA, AL, SC, NC, LA, and FL made their ways to the Peach State for one more weekend of hoops before joining their high school teams for June. Here are some of the top players I saw on Championship Sunday in the 17U division that made some noise:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1253064"],"_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-683db3fd0801a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Madison was the most skilled post player at the entire event. She dominated the paint in Columbus with her size and skill. Her strength, soft touch, and soft hands have to make her one of the top prospects for the next level in Alabama. Madison snagged a ton of rebounds on both ends and passed the ball really well from the post position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["509520"],"_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-683db63e59783"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tia is always one of the most skilled players in the building when she steps into the gym. She has great size, skill, strength, and versatility at her position. Her ability to finish and use her body to create space was high level this weekend in GA. Definitely a top prospect in The Hoop State with her versatility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["755824"],"_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-683db63e597eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leia was the most impressive offensive weapon for her [program_tooltip program_id='714756' first='Carolina' last='All-Stars'] team. She scored it from wherever she wanted with multiple triples and hit a couple sweet floaters as well. Her vision and passing stood out with her hitting her cutting teammates or finding them in transition for good looks at the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1182080"],"_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-683db63e59835"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elise was one of the best shooters in Columbus this weekend. She was knocking it down from anywhere on the perimeter, especially the corners. Her size and length are great for that 2/3 position, and she really didn't need a lot of space to get her shot off. Elise's versatility make her a solid prospect for college's to target.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["739125"],"_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-683db63e5987b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ava was cooking on Sunday in the Final 4 game for her team. She finished with 18 points in a tough loss, but she did all she could to keep her team in the game. Her craftiness to the rim allowed her to get some buckets and draw some fouls as well. Ava finished well at the rim, has a smooth stroke, and is a high motor player that has some athletic upside for sure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["509969"],"_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-683dd4b09553b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lola is a really talented/skilled hooper with a lot of length and size. The lefty has great hands and a soft touch that allow her to score with either hand around the bucket. She hit a really nice hook shot with her right hand from about 10 feet out on Sunday. Her release is high and smooth which makes it so hard to defend. Lola plays smart and passes it well for her position too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
