Midseason Superlatives – Part 1

CUMMING, GA – We got going into the season’s 2nd half this week with Region play heating up, but still a few Showcases across town ahead to look forward to.

So let’s look at some of the top guys I’ve seen in a variety of categories (players listed alphabetically), we’ll cover the first 6 of 12 different ones in here Part 1. Again, players I’ve seen in person or streaming, with apologies to those I haven’t yet, but I cover a fair amount of ground and online content week to week:
