Byron’s All-Illinois 16U AAU First and Second Team Selections

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">I was able to catch a handful of AAU teams and games this summer, both in person and through streams. The players on this list stood out for having a great AAU season, not just through stats or offers but through everything in between. Each of them finished the season with the same team they started with, all representing Illinois based programs. These are players who suited up for more than just a couple of tournaments, not just showing up for live periods but committing to playing all summer. They brought more than numbers to the stat sheet, they were consistent with their play, and most importanly they made plays that led to wins.</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" id="block-de53773e-defc-4f70-bad1-caa17add2cf9" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="block-137fa09b-e1c1-4e90-aba3-0e121e2c8670">FIRST TEAM ALL-AAU</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul id="block-fcf6101c-1702-416b-b837-bfa765647ea8" class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='901833' first='Avani' last='Williams'] - [program_tooltip program_id='712446' first='Chicago' last='Hoops Express']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='881341' first='Brooklyn' last='Schilb'] - <strong>M14</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='732511' first='Peyton' last='Hoffmann'] - <strong>All In</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='861140' first='Addison' last='Leonard'] - <strong>[program_tooltip program_id='716192' first='Wolverinas' last='']</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='616776' first='Joslynn' last='James'] - [program_tooltip program_id='834910' first='Example' last='Sports']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="block-1ba797df-28e3-408a-9603-755fe90d1c3b">SECOND TEAM ALL-AAU</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul id="block-d885ca21-c69e-45a8-9623-2c72fe06babf" class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='626814' first='Ava' last='Mersinger'] - <strong>All In</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='900977' first='London' last='Sommerville'] -<strong> Midwest Elite</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='867873' first='Keniya' last='Todd'] - <strong>Mac Irvin Fire</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='863271' first='Ava' last='Garcia'] - <strong>[program_tooltip program_id='716192' first='Wolverinas' last='']</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='885956' first='Jordyn' last='Ellis'] - <strong>Mac Irvin Fire</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="block-321044da-75cd-4819-9f72-78f3ea7ddaa2">MY HONORABLE MENTIONS</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul id="block-09cea428-44c9-410b-9a3b-c8f7e2f021e6" class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='743604' first='Hayden' last='Fahy'] - <strong>Mac Irvin Fire</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='884390' first='Eve' last='Engler'] - <strong>All In</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='954118' first='Niki' last='Davorija'] -<strong> [program_tooltip program_id='712517' first='Full' last='Package']</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Emerson McManis - <strong>[program_tooltip program_id='712553' first='IL' last='Lady Lightning']</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='914260' first='Maddie' last='Locke'] - <strong>[program_tooltip program_id='712517' first='Full' last='Package']</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
