Two sessions into the 2025 Nike Girls EYBL season, the national picture is beginning to take shape — and a few teams are separating themselves from the rest. With events in Houston, TX and Hoover, AL, elite programs from across the country have already faced off in high-stakes matchups that preview what’s to come in July.

And while the season is far from over, Cy Fair and All Iowa Attack are making early cases as the teams to beat in 17U, while Missouri Phenom leads a competitive and crowded 16U field.

17U: Two Unbeatens Rise — Cy Fair and All Iowa Attack

Both Cy Fair (Houston, TX) and All Iowa Attack (Iowa) sit atop the 17U standings with perfect 10–0 records through the first two sessions. Each team has demonstrated consistency, depth, and toughness against top-tier competition.

Cy Fair holds a narrow edge statistically, with a +117 point differential, compared to All Iowa’s +106. In a format where margin matters, Cy Fair has flexed its strength on both ends of the floor.

Cy Fair Standouts:

  • Chikae Desdunes

  • Maryiah Alfred

  • Maddi Stewart

  • Jemini Mitchell

This quartet has been instrumental in keeping Cy Fair not just unbeaten, but dominant. Their presence has given Houston’s top squad the edge as the most efficient and overwhelming team in the circuit so far.

 All Iowa Attack Standouts:

  • Addison Bjorn – 6'2" Shooting Guard, Park Hill South (MO), Class of 2026

  • Jenica Lewis – 5'10" Point Guard, Johnston (IA), Class of 2026

  • Chloe Johnson

This trio has helped guide All Iowa Attack through a perfect run of their own, and with each session, their team chemistry and resilience continue to shine.



17U Contenders: One-Loss Teams Making Noise

Two other programs sit just behind the undefeated leaders at 9–1 — Team Takeover and Cal Stars — and both have proven they belong in the national title conversation.

  • Team Takeover’s lone loss came in a thrilling 2-point game against a stacked Miami Suns squad.

  • Cal Stars also dropped just one game — a tight 2-point battle with Boo Williams.

Looking ahead to Session 3, Takeover and Cal Stars are in position to challenge the leaders, especially as the pressure tightens.

Other notable teams on the rise:

  • Miami Suns

  • Pro Skills

  • Mokan Elite

  • Why Not Premier

  • Philly Rise

  • Sports Academy Swish

Each team has the depth, coaching, and experience to make a second-half push.


 16U: Missouri Phenom and Team Prime Nation Lead Two Competitive Conferences

In the 16U division, the top of the standings is crowded with talent and parity. Missouri Phenom 16U EYBL sits atop the pack at 9–1, but several teams are close behind, setting the stage for a wild Session 3.

National 16U Standings (Top Records):

 

Team W-L Point Diff
Missouri Phenom 9–1 +69
Pro Skills 8–2 +79
Kia Nurse Elite 8–2 +65
Cy Fair 8–2 +63
Miami Suns 7–3 +48

Mid-pack teams such as Tennessee Flight, Philly Rise, and North Tartan all sit at 6–4, each with potential to make a strong Session 3 leap.

The lower half of the bracket features programs like Michigan Crossover, Drive Nation, and Kentucky Premier, all working to find rhythm before July.

 16U Victory Conference Standings

Over in the Victory division, All Iowa Attack and Team Prime Nation lead the way at 8–2 apiece. Interestingly, Team Prime Nation holds the edge in point differential with +85, slightly ahead of All Iowa’s +72.

Right behind them:

  • Sports Academy Swish (7–3)

  • Alabama Southern Starz (7–3)

  • Mokan Elite (6–4)

  • Cal Stars (6–4)

  • Team Durant (6–4)

These teams are all within striking distance and have proven capable of high-level wins. Further down the table, programs like Why Not Premier, Boo Williams, and Mountain West Premier are locked in the middle of a tight standings race at 5–5.

At the bottom, Cal Storm and Proformance Hawaii have struggled, with Hawaii still winless at 0–10 and a league-worst –145 point differential.

 Looking Ahead to Session 3

As the calendar shifts toward the heart of EYBL season, the landscape is beginning to crystalize. In 17U, Cy Fair and All Iowa Attack may be unbeaten, but the margin is razor thin — and one game can change everything. Meanwhile, one-loss teams like Team Takeover, Cal Stars, and Miami Suns are more than capable of shaking up the bracket.

In 16U, Missouri Phenom and Team Prime Nation have the momentum, but the field is wide open. With nearly a dozen teams still in realistic contention, Session 3 is poised to be the most competitive yet.
