Several talented teams from across the state were in attendance making for some very competitive head to head matchups. Big thanks to Coach Tim Miller and staff for the invite and hospitality during the event. The talent on the floor was definitely worth the drive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a list of guards that caught my eye at some point during the weekend.

I had the opportunity to attend the 10th Annual event hosted by Hazel Green high school. Several talented teams from across the state were in attendance making for some very competitive head to head matchups. Big thanks to Coach Tim Miller and staff for the invite and hospitality during the event. The talent on the floor was definitely worth the drive.
