This past weekend, Prep Girls Hoops hosted the River City Run in Louisville, Kentucky. There were 15 teams in the 17U division, and I was tasked with specifically covering that age group. I was able to get eyes on each team for at least one of their games, and most teams I saw twice, but I wanted to circle back and offer everyone a look at who I felt stepped up most and played the best in the 17U division when I was able to see them at the River City Run.
