See you Sara Stern ! Keep working! 💪 Crossfire Girls Hoops MN AAU

Alas, our late game surge fell short by 1-possesion as we dropped our Meltdown opener by 1pt. Stat leaders: Becca: 15pt, 7rb, 2ast Ava Taylor 12pt, 5rb Sara Stern 10pt, 5rb, 2ast, 2blk Looking forward to the rematch next Friday night in Ames! Crossfire Girls Hoops MN AAU

Bounced back game 2 at Meltdown winning in convincing fashion! Double-double alert 🚨 Amaya Hinzmann 12pt, 11reb, 2ast Other stat leaders: Ava Taylor 13pt, 4reb 🔥 Anna Smolich 10pt, 4reb 🔥 Natalie Lauinger 7pt, 6reb, 7ast 🔥 Crossfire Girls Hoops MN AAU

7 Shouts for Standing Out (7S4SO) & Newcomers to Note (N2N): Friday from the North Tartan Meltdown 7S4SO (Fri. morning): Lily Smith (5'5" PG, '25) of High Impact Lucci deLeon (5'8" PG, '25) of Opportunity Basketball Mercedes Lawrence (6'1" C, '25) of Northern Lights

Don't let N2N Becca Lang's quiet demeaner fool you. Speedy guard, stout defender, generates dfls/stls/blks/drebs... then she's got nitro mode where she'll convert the hustle stat into a transition 2. Works well in downhill offense, contributes occasional 3s. Crossfire Girls Hoops MN AAU

N2N Ava Taylor has had a big growth year. 8x double digit point games, inside finishing touch, confident mid-range & stretching outside the arch. Adaptable defender uses length/strength to fluster 3-4-5s. Stock 📈🔥 Crossfire Girls Hoops MN AAU
