Show Me State Shootout: Day One 12U Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Explosion Flight Academy ran by Greg Wayne is putting on the 3rd Annual two day 7on7 Shootout in Mascoutah, IL at the local high school. Programs from the Greater St. Louis Area pulled up to lay claim to who is the best and the competition got heated early. 12U started on the field first and the future stars did not disappoint. Some if not most teams are made up of rosters that carry any range of younger players that feel up to the challenge. This was the case today as you could see size differences but at the end of the day there is no denying the talent pool is strong in these brackets. I'm excited to see who will raise the trophy tomorrow being named champions and earning a bio to Pylon Nationals. Below are players from each team that got my attention during field play and ones to watch tomorrow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1220198,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/03/tempImageB33ESw-rotated-crop-2420x1589-1711230860.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1220198" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">TEAM TAKEOVER</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Truly Cooper</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boston Lagrone</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kaiden Johnson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dwayne Cutts III</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Valencio Henley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1220200,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/03/tempImagexe0r6M-rotated-crop-2420x1589-1711230990.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1220200" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">ESA FLIGHT</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Devynn Donaldson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mauri Murphy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Terry Fenton Jr. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jh'ace Brown</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Khalil Isom</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1220203,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/03/tempImagewupe31-crop-2420x1589-1711231208.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1220203" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">huSTL CITY</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ja'Khori Battle</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Christopher Jackson Jr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Christian Brooks</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1270501' first='Amari' last='Roberts']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eli Ferguson </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mason Thomas-Anderson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alonzo Harris</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1220205,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/03/tempImage8uWoVj-rotated-crop-2420x1589-1711231393.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1220205" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">KIRKWOOD AIR ELITE</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nolan Reding</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson Sanders</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Landen Gary</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
