She brings an energy that young hoopers in the stands look up to and that veterans rally around.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fields’ relentless work ethic and accessible connection with the local community have turned her into a household name among North Georgia basketball enthusiasts. As “Spooky Hours” approaches, all eyes are on #24 to see what statement she will deliver when the opening whistle blows on October 25th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the atmosphere draws crowds, the caliber of play between the baselines is what cements the MBA and WMBA\u2019s standing as an elite pro-am institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The rosters assembled across both divisions read like a curated directory of high-level basketball resumes.
