Honors and Awards:
Chuck Thompson of www.5statehoops.com
Jasmin Samz : MVP of the tournament
“Samz led her Team Wisconsin Select Black team to the Championship at Meltdown. She displayed outstanding leadership and made great decisions with the ball all week long. Went head to head with several top level guards and found success against all of them. Great speed and a tremendous scorer. Time after time she came up with big shots, both off the drive and jumpers, and was tremendous defensively, especially on the ball. Went into Meltdown with several Divison 1 offers, but after this tremendous showing expect her options to continue to grow. Such a fun player to watch. “ Chuck Thompson 5statehoops.com
