247-Hoops
6′0 Jr. Ashlin Gross was one of the biggest suprises & sleepers of the tournament. Gross who was sidelined for one year displayed her sweet looking stroke form beyond the arch with range! Gross handles well for her size and rebounds well for a shooter. She is a no miss at the Divion-1 level and with a few months of hard conditioning and ball handling she can play the two at the next level. Jr. Guard/ Foward Gross was the best girl prospect in the tournament. Mid-Major-

Hoops Heavan
Team consisted of all 8th graders that will more than likely all check into Canyon Springs next year. Very athletic bunch but there is still allot of growth that needs to be achieved in this group. Too many three pointers and not enough moving without the ball. A few players stood out of the pack Estella Rodrigues, Chantia Jones, Justice Akins and China Moore who all should transfer into Canyon Springs next year. Look for Canyon Spring Girl hoops to challenge the upper echelon teams within the next two to three years.
Diamondbacks-CHAMPIONS
The Diamondbacks consisted of primarly Desert Oasis players. I was very shocked by the skill set of some of there players. By the look fo them they all looked to be in Jr. high with baby faces. The core team are mostly freshmen and sophomores that play the game with solid fundelmentals and have a few major pieces to be a dominate team in Las Vegas next season. They are loaded with shooters, skilled dribblers and an excellent coach”. The Diamondbacks were ed by led by freshmen point guard Tati Kearn(Big time scorer) who started for Dessert Oasis as a freshmen handles the ball well, good shooter and makes plays off the dribble on a consistent basis. Combo guard freshmen Megan Stanton led all scores in the championship game with 20 points. Stanton is very frail but has a loaded three point shot and a creative handle thats gets her around on the floor. Stanton sees the floor very well and just needs to work on her strength and gain experience. Freshamn Savanna is another big time shooter that plays the game with excitement love. Needs to work on a stronger handle but displays the athletism and the work ethic to be a player in the upcomig season. We watched Savanna hit three threes in a row solid talent.
