The May 2019 Women’s College Basketball viewing period proved to be a tough situation to navigate with the numerous events to choose from across the country. The All Star Girls Report (ASGR) returned to North Carolina, following the 21st Annual Deep South Tournament (April 25-28) a few weeks earlier in Raleigh to host the Carolinas Tip Off.  This event was held in Carolina Courts (Indian trail facility) which bolstered 7 courts within this warehouse sized building, 90+ teams attended this event and created some very good competition on the courts.

The start of the girl’s basketball viewing period meant that Raleigh, NC was populated with some of the top female basketball players in North America.  The 21st edition of the Deep South Tournament, hosted by ASGR, did not disappoint.
