We have 9 teams participating in the 15U division this weekend as Full Circuit Teams. Our Power Rankings indicate that Richmond Heat has played the best in qualifying tournaments with a record of 10-2 and a Power Score of nearly ten points better than anyone. There will be three pools (A,B,C) that will play in pool play before they come together on Sunday for the Final Four and Championship. I want to take a look at some of the top 2025 teams and top players below that have a Power Score over 80:

Richmond Heat 2025 has went 10-2 between three PGH Circuit events: Knoxville Knockout (4-1), Music City Showdown (4-0), and River City Run (3-1). Their only two losses were to Indiana Elite by 8 and Dayton Vipers by 1. They have a lot of talent and seem like the team to beat this weekend! They'll take on Alabama Twisters Elite, Lady Sonics (SC), and Florida Lady Aces in pool play.

Hoop-Phi comes in with a .500 record of 4-4 between our two Tennessee tournaments: Knoxville Knockout and Music City Showdown. Their worst loss came to the team above, Richmond Heat, so they will have some work to do this weekend. A tough Wood Elite team awaits them out of the gate.
