Boys Division Standout Performers

14U (8th Grade) – Gold

Selassie Trahan-Castillo (ACE) — MVP
18.5 PPG | 7.5 REB | 3.3 AST

Ball-dominant guard who plays with great pace and efficiency. Great National Showing in Texas coming from the State of Washington.

Justin Fowler (Prolyfe Elite)
8.7 PPG | 6.7 REB

Dual forward who brings versatility and activity on both ends. Shows a strong face up game and is comfortable attacking from the perimeter. Runs the floor well in transition and stays active around the rim, finishing plays and creating second chances. As his three point shooting continues to improve, his ability to stretch the floor will make him an even more complete offensive threat.
