2028 5’10” PG Shane Lunford coming up big in the second half for R2G 16U with two consecutive threes off the dribble to give his team the lead over Real Phenom Hoops. Pulled up in transition followed by a confident step back to shift the momentum.

Player of the Game

Kahlil Leonard | 5’10” 225 | G | 2028 | Road 2 Greatness 16U | St. Francis de Sales (IL) |

Leonard led his team to victory with a dominant, physical performance. Led all scorers with 30 points. Took over in the 2nd half playing bully ball. Physical slasher who can finish with soft touch in the half court and transition. Finished through contact multiple times drawing fouls. Put the game on ice with a tough finish through contact to draw a foul with under 10 seconds left in the game. Showed he can defend on the ball with active hands. Willed R2G to victory with aggression and physicality.

“The irony of a snapshot is it captures the moments, but misses the whole journey.”

I appreciate every stop thus far & the coaching trees I’ve been able to grow from. Will continue to grow as a leader of men, one who can lead with confidence & poise through whatever adversity.
