This past weekend’s Ballin’ for a Cure was more than just another tournament — it was a celebration of competition, community, and purpose. Hosted by The Girls Circuit & Elite Grassroots Basketball, the DFW event brought together teams from across the region for a weekend filled with elite matchups, energy, and unity around an important cause.
From the opening tip to the final game, players competed with passion and intensity. The atmosphere was electric — stands full, cameras rolling, and games coming down to the wire. TPT TPT4Girls was on site providing coverage, photos, and evaluations as the next generation of talent continued to shine.
The event featured standouts from several age groups, including rising stars in the Classes of 2030 through 2034 such as Emma Baggs, Ellie Freeman, Reagan Plumb, Journey Barclay, Armani Reed, Isabella Cordova, Kensington Jett, Jalea Colson, Kori Denard, Canyon Crabtree, Ta’Liyah Hall, Jiselle Emmers, Kennedy Nicholas, Cortlynn Dawson, Leighton Parker, Aubri Guerrero, Olivia Kohls, Silvia Gurka, Madison Blanco, and Sophie Young.
The growth of girls’ grassroots basketball was on full display, with programs showing strong team play, skill development, and leadership from coaches and parents alike. Events like Ballin’ for a Cure continue to set the tone for the season — competitive, organized, and community-driven.
