Two Florida Nation Basketball athletes made their presence known at last weekend’s She Hoops South Beach Showcase, a one-day girls event hosted at the SLAM Penthouse Gym.
Brooklyn Deal (Class of 2031) and Shaheena Keita (Class of 2030) were voted top performers on the day, earning recognition from an evaluator panel that included national evaluator Justin Turner of Dallas, Texas, and collegiate coach/evaluator Stephanie Cooper — an associate coach at Florida Memorial University during their 2023 Sun Conference Championship run.
Throughout the showcase, athletes were put through a series of drills and competitive game situations designed to test skill, IQ, and performance under pressure. Top performers from the event earn an opportunity to compete at Unrivaled’s 1-on-1 Tournament Championships, giving standout players a platform to continue building their recruiting profiles.
While Brooklyn and Shaheena weren’t the only ones turning heads, they represented Florida Nation Basketball with pride and competed at a high level from start to finish. Their performances serve as a reminder of the talent developing within our program and the work being put in every time they step on the floor.
We’re proud of both young ladies and look forward to watching them continue to grow. Stay tuned for more updates as Florida Nation Basketball heads into the spring season.
