Exciting day having @kendallmurphy_1 return to where it all started since her injury! Shot still smooth as butter 🧈 so excited for @LRUWBB to have her back!! No one works harder stay tuned for the return🎯 - the turtle race continues 🎶 🐢🥼🧪🏀 @_BlakeDerrick
My final game wrap-up of Day 2 at the Rock the Rock with @PaulBiancardi powered by @BigShotsGlobal turned into a straight, gritty street fight between @SWVHustle2025 17U and Team United 17U. Both squads walked in hungry after tough losses earlier in the day, and both were desperate to get things back rolling before the event ended. From the opening tip, you could tell neither side planned on backing down. Bodies flying, tough finishes, physical rebounds, and players hitting the floor. This one had edge to it from start to finish.
These teams were almost mirror images of each other. Tough guards, size inside, skilled scorers, physical post play, and both squads brought that chip-on-the-shoulder mentality every possession. Nobody was looking for pretty basketball. This was tough basketball.
The Hustle came out attacking early with confidence and energy, while Team United kept answering every run. Every bucket felt important, knowing every stop mattered. Hustle managed to carry a slim 32-28 lead into the half, but the game still felt completely up for grabs with the intensity rising possession after possession.
The second half turned into a straight-up shootout at the OK Corral between Team United’s #10 @BrendanMurph00 and the Hustle’s #12 @jordanisaac08. One side hit a bucket, and the other came right back with one tougher. Deep shots, strong takes through contact, middy pull-ups, and transition finishes. It became a full-blown “you score, I score” battle that had everybody locked in.
Murphy completely erupted, though. Every time Team United needed something big, he delivered it. Big-time jumpers and deep triples that shifted momentum. He played fearless and aggressive while attacking the defense from everywhere on the floor. And when the pressure got thick late, he never blinked. Murphy finished with a game-high 30 points while adding 6 rebounds and a steal in the hard-fought 62-55 win.
Teammate #24 @OllieCarp12 stepped up huge alongside him with 13 points, 5 rebounds, and a steal while making timely buckets and gritty effort on both ends of the floor.
The Hustle kept swinging right until the final horn.
@jordanisaac08 was electric, putting in 18 points with shot-making that kept the Hustle right there possession after possession. #5 @quintenwilson1_ added the stat sheet stuffer with 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists while doing a little bit of everything for his squad. @AshbyChadwick brought toughness around the rim all game long, finishing with 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 2 assists while making life difficult defensively every trip down the floor.
Late in the game, Team United simply made a couple more winning plays. And in a battle this physical and intense, that ended up being the difference. Murphy finished the weekend averaging 22+ points per game.

#10 Brendan Murphy for TN United is off to a hot start with 13 of the team’s 22 points. The 6’2 PG is showing great size in the backcourt and making an early impact offensively.
6’3 2027 G Brendan Murphy had a great weekend last weekend. Was a key piece to a 37-2 Bearden team as a Junior. One of the best scorers in the entire state of Tennessee. Will be a steal for a program. Please reach out if interested!

It’s a matchup that should have happened in Murfreesboro.
But Bearden vs Maryville wound up happening in the state sectionals. Here’s how the Dawgs won it by 3.
