<p><strong>Eric Henderson – ATH – Class of 2029</strong><br>One of the tournament's most dominant players, Henderson set the tone with his physicality, speed, and versatility. He made plays everywhere—offense, defense, and in the fashion department. Physically built and already advanced for his age, Henderson has the tools to be a future star once he masters the mental side of the game.</p>

<p><strong>Joshua Weatherford – WR – Class of 2030</strong><br>Weatherford was a reliable target all weekend, showcasing sticky hands and the ability to win at the high point. He consistently created separation and came down with contested catches, making him a go-to option in key situations.</p>

<p><strong>Demarius Pitts – ATH – Mount Carmel HS – Class of 2029</strong><br>Pitts flashed his versatility all weekend. He made plays on both sides of the ball, showing length, athleticism, and the ability to step up in big moments. Once he adds more weight to his frame, his ceiling is even higher.</p>

<p><strong>Terence Little II – QB – Class of 2030</strong><br>Little was the steady hand guiding the offense. Confident in the pocket, he showed poise beyond his years, going through progressions and delivering strikes to his receivers. One highlight moment came when he led Chi-Town Next Level on a clutch drive to take the lead late in a game. For a young 2030 quarterback, that kind of composure stands out.</p>
