(Brandon Trilli after scoring 19 points against Meanstreets)

The annual Bill Hensley Memorial Run N Slam tipped on Friday night in Fort Wayne. It is a loaded grassroots event again this year, and it started quickly with good games and player performances.

Grand Park Premier 2023 started off the night with a narrow victory over MTXE. The deciding play came when Jaylen Mullen hit Braden Walters for an alley-oop and-one. There were only a few seconds left when Walters converted the pass, and it propelled GPP to a three-point lead.

Mullen scored 15 points to lead GPP. After his three-point play, Walters finished with ten points. Joey Hart added 15 points in the win. It was a balanced effort from GPP as Logan Webb and Caleb Washington also reached double figures.
