Holiday Hoops Thoughts – All-Event Teams

Not every event we took in over this holiday season named an all-tournament or all-event team.  We felt some players needed some much deserved recognition, so here you you.

All-City of Palms Signature Series Team & MOP (our opinion)

MOP: Cameron Carr, 6’5 SR, Branson (MO) Link Academy – The Tennessee commit was the only player to score double-figures in both games for the Signature Series champs.
