MLK All Tournament Team

Aaliyah Whiteside, 5-11 Sr. Wing Memphis Central, (Georgia Tech)
Continued to show every one why she is still a top ranked player. She product a very productive and point filled Weekend totaling 45pts in a lopsided win against nationally ranked Potters House #17, and a close lost to Missouri State Top 5 team Clyde Miller Career Academy.

Tiffany Davis, 5-8 Sr. Guard Westbury Christian, (South Carolina)
A class act in all she did even when she was delivering blow after blow to try to keep Westbury Christian in games against nationally ranked Potters House and Incarnate Word. She showed off her ability to get to the basketball and shoot the ball against some of the nation’s top players.

Taylor Manuel, 6-3 Sr. Center Incarnate Word (Purdue)
All I can say is when she is not in foul trouble please consider her a “problem.” She passed, defends, steals, and plays the big girls game (made for the Big Ten). She showed her leadership thru communication and that keep her team together, even if she was cheering from the bench.

Torri Lewis, 5-11 Fr. Guard MHEA
What can you say when you have a kid with an amazing basketball IQ and the skills of a young Jason Williams? She made move during the game that let you know she would be one to deal with. The more competition she gets the stronger she becomes. She may be one of the best shooters in the whole event. Oh by the way she is only a freshman.

Braennan Farrar, 5-6 So. Pg Career Academy
If you haven’t seen this kid you need too. She has a certain level of poise to her game that make her suited to play at the prime time level. In both games she played vs. top ranked teams she never got rattled and demanded the ball in big shot situations. Base line to base line she is super fast and defends the ball too. Every time C. Miller needed a basket she either took the shot or provided the assist.

Nina Davis, 5-11 Jr. Guard/ Forward Memphis Central
Talk about your major standouts and you have to mention Davis. When she’s in the gym she has mastered the art of drawling attention from colleges, and double teams. She led her team in rebounding and was second in scoring to running mate whiteside only. She is made it clear that she is capable of coming out of the Robin position to be Batman.
