Following the morning PGF 18U and 16U Premier National Championships on Saturday, July 26, 2025, the afternoon was filled with All-American action as the two games featured Sophomores versus Juniors and then Seniors vs Seniors (East vs. West) competing at Deanna Manning Stadium at Bill Barber Park in Irvine, Calif.
