LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., - The May Day Challenge concluded on Mother’s Day with championships, buzzer beaters and live streamed games on TheSUVtv.com. Some of the best talent in the Southeast showcased their talent on Championship Sunday. Here is a look at the premier performances from Sunday.
Bianca Fizouaty (Lawrenceville, Ga.), - Grayson High School – 2018
In one the most competitive games of the day, the 5-foot-7 shooting guard proved to be the difference in a win for Team Elite Hubbard. Fizouaty’s three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter gave her team the lead for good. The dead-eye shooter got hot at the right time and finished with 14 points on the afternoon. She is quickly becoming a difference maker for this team on both ends of the floor.

Audrey Weiner (Buford, Ga.), - Buford High School – 2018
A key element in the Georgia Hoopstars winning the @ProspectsNation bracket this weekend was the play of Weiner. She is a 6-0 wing-forward that finished with 19 points in a win over Georgia Sting Avery. Weiner earned a reputation as a shooting specialist this spring with her play at the PSB Tip-Off Classic. She backed up that reputation with four more 3-pointers in this championship game. Yet her overall game continues to develop. She demonstrated the ability to score off move and display vision as a passer. Keep an eye on Weiner as a rising prospect within coach JD Davis’ program.
Saadia Munford (Decatur, Ga.), - Jonesboro High School – 2017
Coach Kirk Pointer’s Team Elite EYBL roster boasts one of the deepest backcourts in the nation. On Sunday afternoon he found a timely contribution from Munford off the bench. The 5-6 point guard provided needed defensive energy that turned the momentum in her team’s favor while locked in a battle with Tennessee Xtreme Hunt. Her aggressive pressure defense led to multiple deflections and steals, which ultimately disrupted the Xtreme ball screen offense. Munford’s value as a primary handler and on-ball defender gives Team Elite a change of pace guard that will be important on the July EYBL circuit.
