We were certainly happy to be back in the gym for our first event of what will be the very unique club basketball season of 2020.
First things first: We want to extend our gratitude to all of the participants in this past weekend’s The Yellow Rose of Texas – the players, the coaches, the parents, the tournament workers, the Fieldhouse USA – Mansfield facility staff, and the Premier Basketball TEAM – without the planning, communication, cooperation, and execution, this event would not have run so smoothly.
THANK YOU.
All things considered the basketball this weekend was remarkably high quality. Honestly, we expected to see some possible conditioning struggles, but the players were in great shape – hats off to you all and to your programs for keeping you organized and working out through an odd few months! You found a way and should be commended.
From the top 17U teams all the way to the young players (2025 – 2026), we saw some legit players and some extraordinary team play. Speaking of the young teams, watch out for Trae Young Elite (2025 group), Lady Drive Nation Randle/Jet (2024’s and 2025’s), Cy Fair 2026, and then the Texas U 2025 and 2026 groups.
We saw many different styles of play this weekend as well:- Pressure Defense out of Team Lex Tar Heels and Team Lex Nation
- Half Court Execution and patience out of Texas Lone Star
- Transition Attack out of Lady Drive Nation 17U EYBL
- Teams that will take the first open three, but then grind you in the half court like Lone Star Magic
- Lady Drive Nation Randel/Jet 17U running things through a point forward like Kendra Gillispie (’21 -OK) and running things off the white board in timeouts
- Ball Movement and finding the best shot like HG Elite
- Texas Platinum and True Texas Hoops have people’s attention .. they are well coached
