Tennessee Flight's super team could force changes

Auburn and Ole Miss Elite Camp Performances

Auburn's Elite camp hosted over 200 players. However that did not deter Ridgeway's Hasina Muhammad and Arlington's Christyn Hopper from claiming their place as top performers in the camp.

Hasina went the long route to win the one on one competition. She lost early in the competition and had to play and win her way back to the final round. She rose to the occasion and defeated ESPN HoopGurlz No 29th ranked, Khaalidah Miller. She also made the All Star Team.










Christyn Hopper made it to the final round of the three point competition at the Auburn camp.

At 17, Lauren Avant hasn't been driving an extraordinarily long time, but she knows trouble when she sees it in her rear-view mirror. On March 25 trouble was coming in a Mercury Mountaineer -- and it was coming fast.

Avant noticed that the 10-year-old had slipped out of the shoulder strap of her seat belt and was leaning forward in her seat. With impact imminent, Avant thrust her right shoulder into Pruitt to brace her against the passenger door, while maintaining control of the steering wheel to avoid oncoming traffic.
