Atlanta, GA (Future150) -- The 12U Championsip was a tough fought battle between the GA Rising Stars and the Altanta South Knights. Small forward Kershawn Thrash led his team with his play-making ability and scoring. John Allen led his team in scoring throughout the weekend and the title game was no different.
Ultimately it was the Rising Stars that came away with the 47-36 victory. Both teams had turned in a solid weekend before the title game but in the end it was the Rising Stars that finished perfect in the tournament.
Here are a few players who also stuck out throughout the weekend...
Jarred Rogers, 2020 SG, Southside Ballers: Rogers is a talented scorer who is starting to show that he can put up points on all three levels. He has a knack for getting to the rim but can shoot it from deep as well
Kershawn Thrash, 2020 SF, GA Rising Stars: The do-it-all wing grabbed rebounds, scored the ball, and set his teammates up for good shots from the first game until the championship. He has a bright future ahead of him.
Justin Hall, 2020 PF, Atlanta Select Silver: Hall is just starting to realize how good he can be and is a long and active defender, While he has a limited offensive game there is plenty of time for him to develop as a player.
John Allen, 2020 PG, Atlanta South Knights: Allen showcased his passing ability and was able to get to the rim with considerable ease throghout the tournament. He has a solid stroke from beyond the arc and is one to keep an eye on down the line
