KANNAPOLIS, NC - This was LBInsiders first year for Carolina Live, although most of the teams where from the Carolinas this was a must attend event for the final weekend for Live Period in July. There where numerous D1 college coaches on the seen, some were there for the two full days and the ones that didn't make the first day they definitely made the final day. 

LBInsiders took a chance with putting this together and nevertheless it turn out to be a successful event for Carolina Live, thanks to Co-Founder Percy Wright of LBInsider was working relentlessly to bring in some top programs, such as Carolina Flames EYBL, South Carolina 76ers, Team Lady Charlotte and One Dream. The gym was standing room only when Carolina Flames took on Lady Charlotte in most of the people that we're standing was the spectators because most of the coaches that planned on seeing this match up had surrounded court 2 three hours prior just to see this big game between two of Carolinas best programs.

Flames jump out to a early start by good game play by point guard Jada McMillan who was able to create in finish either at the basket or by dumping the ball off in the paint to either Key or Poole. Tamari had a good all round game, I lost count of the blocks that she accumulated but lets just say it was in the double digits.
