The annual Prep Hoops Grit Region Kick Off was certainly a success. Teams from New York to Arkansas and everywhere in between descended on the MidAmerica Sports Center in Louisville, Kentucky for three great days of basketball. As always, our Prep Hoops staff had boots on the ground providing unparalleled event coverage throughout the event. Now, the content will continue to rollout over the next couple of days before turning our attention to the Chi-Town Tip Off. Let’s begin with naming our All-Tournament teams. Here are the individuals that Scotty Burgess and myself have selected for the 16u All-Tournament teams.

The best player on one of the best teams at the Prep Hoops Grit Region Kick Off, Buescher led his Better Than Yesterday squad to a 3-1 record while averaging 14.3 points per game. His combination of length, skill, and fluid athleticism at 6’4″ made him a consistent problem for opposing defenses around the basket. It was a really impressive weekend for the prospect out of West Jefferson High School in Ohio.

A second member of The Golden Franchize Basketball Club to be named First Team All-Tournament is this dynamic 5’11” guard from Rockvale High School.

One of the most impressive Class of 2026 prospects at the Prep Hoops Grit Region Kick Off, Nicholson put up some big numbers while helping lead All In Sports Academy to a 3-1 weekend. The versatile 6’3″ wing out of Shelbyville High School in Indiana is a force off of the dribble and around rim. He opened the weekend with a 23-point performance in a win over Mavericks Basketball Elite and never looked back from there to earn First Team honors.

Wolf is a 5’10” guard from Orchard Farm High School in Missouri. He was excellent throughout the weekend as a perimeter scorer averaging 14.3 points per game for Mavericks Basketball Elite-1.
