The Team Trae Young Girls 16U and 17U teams waited nearly a month to get back to action after their last tournament, and they made Prep Girls Hoops’ Duel for the Dynasty worth the wait, racking up wins and accolades over two days in Dallas.
The 17U team went 3-1 over the weekend. They opened things with a hard fought 50-49 win over Team Griffin Elite on Saturday thanks to a strong performance by Keeley Parks.
2025 5’10 G Keeley Parks (@KeeleyParks04) is a very athletic guard who gets downhill quickly on offense but also reads the floor extremely well. She is long and bouncy and defends well. High level prospect.@TeamTraeYoungWB | @PGHCircuit | #PGHDuelForTheDynasty

Tiani Ellison @TeamTraeYoungWB made one of the scariest blocks I've seen this season. Not because it was loud and knocked paint off the wall @PGHCircuit it almost hit my face #PGHDuelForTheDynasty pic.twitter.com/UgJNbHr61N

The 16U team split a pair of games on Saturday, defeating Oklahoma Swift 2024 51-44 just a couple hours after a tough 48-35 loss to Texas Platinum. The star of that pair of games was Kyiah Prestridge.
