The Hoopstars play host to their own tournament. They are excited by the chance to play in front of more fans than usual, including their families and a group of pre-teen girls who idolize them. Alisha earns praise for her consistently strong work ethic. Ashley Burtsfield makes the most of her chance at more playing time. Tiffany's birthday falls on the final day of the tournament, and she has problems with her braids. Assistant Coach Goldsberry singles her out in front of the team for her poor defensive effort. This inspires her to improve, and she has one of her better games as the team wins the championship.
