Elite 80 Scholarship Time

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One thing that I love about the Elite 80 is the way that they give back to the student-athletes! $2,000 in scholarship awards were given out and I know the athletes appreciated it! One scholarship that was given out on 9/14/24 was in honor of [player_tooltip player_id='822427' first='Hayden' last='Carter']. When I was told that Hayden was the first athlete to sign up for the Elite 80, I was not surprised one bit. I mentioned Hayden in an article on 5/11/24 that said, "Carter is fast with the ball in her hands. The [program_tooltip program_id='712985' first='TN' last='Flight Trotters'] were down for a large portion of the game against the [program_tooltip program_id='713862' first='TN' last='Lady Grit']. Hayden finds her way down the court, pulls up, and drills a big time three to put her team within 1 with under 1 minute and 30 seconds left. Hayden is a tough athlete and she continues to show that she is not afraid of the big time moments! She's a solid ball handler and her overall game is improving every time she steps on the court!" Hayden's impact is still felt. It was definitely felt at the Elite 80! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Congratulations to [player_tooltip player_id='409038' first='Kelsey' last='Holt'] on receiving the [player_tooltip player_id='822427' first='Hayden' last='Carter'] Elite 80 Scholarship Award! When Kelsey wrote, "So thank you basketball, for everything you have done for me. Thank you for making me into the person I am today and making me stronger as a whole. I am playing for you nana and it's even written on my basketball shoes so everyone can know that! …. I am gonna get that scholarship to play basketball in college for you nana." Johnson University is getting a heck of an athlete, but an even better human! The words were touching when I read them on X last year. Holt will receive many scholarships, but I think this [player_tooltip player_id='822427' first='Hayden' last='Carter'] Elite 80 one may be at the top! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>More Elite 80 scholarship winners:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='766206' first='Adison' last='Howard'] (Sewanee commit)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":997421,"width":"189px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/09/IMG_9571.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-997421" style="width:189px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:image {"id":997422,"width":"188px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/09/IMG_9573.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-997422" style="width:188px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='410171' first='Jordan' last='White'] (Tennessee Wesleyan commit)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
