Although the opening night of the Inaugural All Grit Tournament saw mostly lopsided outcomes, there was plenty of individual talent in the gym. For the 15 teams that were scheduled for Friday night games, they were treated to the opportunity to experience the newly opened Fieldhouse USA, a state of the art, 5-court facility in located in northern Columbus. Below are a few of the standout players we saw Friday night. Although several of the players we evaluated on Friday we had seen previously, there were several kids we had not seen before. Stay tuned for future reports.
