The amount of talent at our Queen City Showcase has been tremendous, but few teams have been more impressive than the eighth-grade Team CP3 group that played up and fought their way to the championship.

This CC Elite group has been very difficult for opponents throughout the weekend, given the way they’ve executed and shared the ball.
