2021 The PRIME event

The third annual The PRIME event FINALS was held at the Mansfield Fieldhouse USA on August 21-22. This event is the summer ending cross-circuit matchup event aimed at lining up champions and competitors from across the various summer circuits and schedules in one winner-take-all tournament. Once again, the field did not disappoint.

We hosted teams from Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia and players from many more such as Alaska, Indiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Washington (state), and Washington DC.    

We separated the teams into five different brackets:
 











 
In a loaded 12-team PREMIER Bracket division that included pool play into a championship bracket, there were no easy wins, and every game mattered.

Wisconsin Flight's summer solidified them as one of the top 16U programs in the country. The PREMIER Bracket Champs had 4 super solid wins in The PRIME event over ProSkills 16U, Elevate Elite, Lady Jets, and finally Jason Kidd Select in the final. Led by supremely skilled 2024 Allie Ziebell, who was absolutely COOKIN in the championship game, 2024 super shooter Taylor Stremlow, and 2023 swiss army knife Makiah Hawk - the Flight continued to do what they’ve done all season: shoot the lights out and find a way to win.

Jason Kidd Select had a terrific run, going 3-1 including a heart-racing semifinal win over Mac Irvin Fire. Led by 2023 Dymonique Maxie, 2024 super recruits Harper Peterson and Jordan Lee as well as 2025 Samari Bankhead, the first-year program proved it is one that is here to stay. Look for Jason Kidd Select to be amongst the elite national programs for years to come. 

Mac Irvin Fire had a 2-1 weekend, including a 1-point win over BTR in a terrific game. 2023 Skylar Jones and 2024 Tahj Bloom showed their size and versatility throughout the weekend. 




The PROJECT & PERFECT bracket was deep and competitive while featuring many elite young prospects. 

Sports City U walked away with the championship in a dominant performance. The only single digit game they had was versus FBC Carolina. Led by 2024’s Sanai Douglas, Leila Wells, Erika King, Helen Holley, and Kendall Braden, as well as 2025 Kira Reynolds – Sports City U was deep in all positions. Everyone played their role for what was one of the very best 15U teams of the summer. They share the ball and are committed to the defensive end. 

ProSkills YG had an impressive showing, going 3-1 on the weekend. Led by 2025’s Kaylinn Kemp, Ananda Jenerson, Camille Williams and 2026 Amari Byles - ProSkills played an uptempo style offensively while playing a physical style defensively. They are a young crew who is not afraid of the test. 




The SELECT Bracket provided a platform for some of the under the radar 2022’s still open in their recruitment.

Team Kidd 17u walked away with the championship in an extremely competitive game with FBC CE Lynn. They are a tough veteran and skilled team that defended really well. 2022 Kaile Cruz had a game in which she knocked down 7 three pointers.  

FBC won 3 tight games on their way to a 3-1 weekend.  An experienced and gritty group found a way to finish games on their way to the championship game. 




The 3STEP SPORTS Bracket was highly competitive and allowed for some 2023’s to jump on college coaching radars.

True Texas Hoops 2023 Crabtree marched their way through the bracket. Led by 2023’s 6’4 Torie Sevier and sniper Ashlin Crabtree, True Texas Hoops was outstanding in their execution all weekend long. 

Texas Elite Next Level had a terrific 2-1 showing over the weekend. Texas Elite’s balanced attack was led by 2024 Mylasia Smith on the perimeter and 2024 Karah Riley on the inside.
    2022 Ahrray Young of Jason Kidd Select has proven to be one of the best defensive stoppers in the country. 


2022 CAL WBB commit and ESPN Top 100 Amaya Bonner had a major summer. Her best days area ahead of her. 



2022 OHIO STATE commit and ESPN Top 100 Cotie McMahon is amongst the elite athletically in the entire country.
