Following an intense tryout period with top high school athletes from across the country, Winslow was selected as one of four true forwards on the roster. He was the only player selected from Texas and will be bringing Maverick pride with him to Europe this summer. We wish him and the American team the best as they look to defend their title against the world’s best teams.
