Top Performers


Byron Nelson Guard (Tidewater Wildcats)- Nelson can shoot the pill with the best of them. He scorched DC Assault in the semifinals and also found his range a little in the championship. He loves draining the trey ball from the corner.

Mah Coleman Guard (Tidewater Wildcats)- Coleman loves breaking your heart with a tear drop in the lane. The southpaw knows how to get into the paint and get his shot off over shot blockers. He has a savvy style that helps him get past most defenders.

Travis Vann Guard (Tidewater Wildcats)- Vann nailed a couple of treys that hurt Team Battle when they tried to make a comeback. He’s small in stature but showed big heart nailing those shots on this stage.

Juwan Jones Guard (Tidewater Wildcats)- Jones hurt Team Battle in transition by using his strength to score. In the open floor he raced to the tin and exploded for a couple of buckets. This ia a strong guard.

Chris Orlina Forward (Tidewater Wildcats)- Chris didn’t score much but his active play gave TW second chance opportunities. He’s very athletic and probably will become a guard very soon. He tried to throw one down today on a fast break.

Jamir Harris Forward (Team Battle)- Harris played hard and with a sense of urgency in the second half of the finals. He was able to get into the paint and cause some disruption. His play helped TB make things respectable in the end.
