Top Team
The top team in the tournament was Lower Richland as they showed why they should be considered the best team. The team was led throughout the tournament by 3 players on the team, Class of 2020, Tasharia James, Class of 2022, Anala Nelson and Shawnteanna Tillman. Anala had an impressive weekend of play. Tasharia was a player who created matchup problems due to being able to play inside out and outside in as a physical player. Shawnteanna is a good on ball defender and makes the right decisions on offense. Lower Richland is a team to look for in the post season to make a deep run into the state playoffs and a possible championship contender.
