The childhood friends helped lead their program to a 5-5 record in the national tournament.
While some athletes treat the summer as an offseason, Whitman-Hanson Regional High rising senior girls’ basketball captains, Reese Codero and Rylie Harlow, are putting in the work.
The two are teammates on the AAU basketball team MT Elite Ducks Sapphire and lit it up over the weekend in the Nike Tournament of Champions in Indianapolis.
In their opener on Friday, the duo scored nine points apiece as the Ducks routed the Illinois Aristocrats, 65-44.
On Saturday, Codero scored a team-high 14 points and Harlow added 13, leading the Ducks to a 53-47 victory over Kessel Heat (Illinois) in their third game of the tournament.
Codero followed that up on Sunday, pumping in a co-team-high 11 points in a big 57-35 win over Nashville Stars Basketball Club.
The club finished its first tournament of the season with a 5-5 record.
