Queen Of The South Bringing Heat

I’m overly excited for what’s going down in a few days, as I get a chance to see the SWIPA group, brainchild of SA Finest director Ray Caldwell, which has taken off, well, blasted off as the Queen Of The South has talent galore coming

Selena Carrasco, one of the top guards in Texas’ 2026, class, will be on hand with her star-studded IFN 17U GUAA squad, plenty of buzz about Team Mo Jeff Power 24 squad, and I’ll be spending Friday primarily covering the WNBA Division

One of the surprise teams for me this season is Houston United 17U Swipa, who has come up with some huge wins against some of the top teams while being shorthanded most of the season. Part of that is the emergence of freshman sensation Isabella Rodriguez as she has taken her game up several notches, and another part is adding 2026 Kyndall King, who has been on fire every tournament I’ve caught her in

Talent is everywhere, when it’s more condensed, you can see that, so guess what, 3 days, 82 teams, I’ll put in a dent in that number as I will be with the NCAA Division most of Saturday and work my way back on Sunday
