Allentown, PA (Future150) -- The 13U division may not have been the biggest one this weekend in Allentown, but it certainly wasn't short on talent. Team Final Red, Unit Rocks, and The We R1 Bulldogs had a number of games that were hotly contested between them, and a handful of players played their best when it mattered the most:
Josiah Brown, 2022 PG, We R1 Bulldogs: A crafty point guard with a mature game, Brown did a good job of running the offense throughout the weekend. He made a number of nice passes and got into the lane as well. He will be one to keep an eye on moving forward.
Nate Ellis, 2022 G, Team Final Red: The crafty guard prospect was showing off his impressive slashing ability all weekend at Northeast Main Event. He's fearless when he's attacking the rim and understands when and when not to make his move toward the rim. Look for him to continue to make waves in Allentown over the next few years.
Gabe McCoy, 2022 PF, Unit Rocks: One of the most intriguing prospects in the division, the 6'3 big man made his presence felt in the lane all weekend. With decent hands and the ability to rebound, McCoy was able to score around the rim either off putbacks or on the low block. It will be interesting to see how much more he grows and where his development goes next.
Elijah Tay, 2022 PF, We R1 Bulldogs: Arguably the best post player in the division, Tay did a good job of getting position and scoring in the lane at will. Ultimately he may need to move out to more of a wing position, but there's litle doubting that he was one of the most dominant players in his age group this weekend.
LeRoy Johnson, 2022 SF, Team Final Red: One of the more physically impressive prospects in the division was the strong small forward prospect hailing from Allentown. Not only is he a force on the boards and on defense, thanks to his frame, but he's also a capable scorer on offense who is capable of getting big baskets when necessary.
Justin Glover, 2022 G, Unit Rocks: There wasn't a better shooter in the division than the small but highly skilled combo guard. When he got hot from the perimeter, he was nearly impossible to stop, and defenses found that out the hard way at Northeast Main Event. As he continues to grow and evolve, expect his offensive firepower to continue to carry his game.
