The shape of the journey says plenty. Across five games TN United scored 55 points per game while giving up just 26, a defense that held firm night after night. The 54-49 final was tighter than the rest, a grind to the finish where the lead came down to the closing possessions.
Through it all, the scoring spread across the roster. Knox Hobbs led the team with 57 points over the five games, a steady source the group could lean on. But the supporting cast made this a team title. Cooper Stevens chipped in 33 points across the run, a reliable second option who showed up game after game. Griff Dean added 23 points, often the spark when the team needed someone to step forward. Christian Cleveland contributed 19 points, and Jase Kiser added 17, both pieces of a balanced attack that never relied on one name alone.
That is who this team is. Not one engine but a committee, with points coming from across the floor and a defense that set the tone. Holding opponents to 26 a game while pouring in 55 tells you where the identity lived. Nearly every game was decided on the strength of that two-way effort.
The honors followed the work. Kade Morris was named Tournament MVP. Knox Hobbs and Cooper Stevens both earned All-Tournament recognition, a fitting reward for two players who carried a steady load through all five games.
Every name on this roster played a part. Knox Hobbs, Cooper Stevens, Griff Dean, Christian Cleveland, and Jase Kiser each put points on the board across the tournament. Together they built a 5-0 finish and brought home the trophy. Congratulations to TN United, your tournament champions."}
