Continue ReadingIt is an exciting time for youth sports, as things are slowly starting to open back up after two months of downtime due to the COVID-19 outbreak. While conditioning is underway, games and competition is not quite there yet.
With the start of conditioning, PGH Ohio will start to look at some of the AAU travel clubs from around Ohio to look and some of their players and teams. If you would like to make sure your club is included, please reach out to me at jmdabbelt86@gmail.com.
Cincy Swish 2022
Team Outlook:
Hard nosed tough minded group of kids, defends baseline to baseline, and operates with offensive freedom. They do have a couple of players who should garner some D1 interest, but the majority will likely draw some good interest from all other levels.

Key Players to Watch
Aliya Bauer- athletic and very long, defensive player. Can shoot the three and penetrate to the rim and finish. Has those great moments, needs to develop a tighter handle and become more consistent shooter.
Julia Capell- point guard, very athletic. Can pick up her defender end to end. Strong player. Everyone feeds off her energy. Also needs to develop a stronger perimeter game. Can score at the rim.
Willa Davis- grown leads and bounds last year. Never played solid AAU before, raising her game to another level. Late bloomer but she keeps growing. Had a good high school season as 6th man on loaded team. More athletic than people think, can guard out on perimeter with her size. Strong rebounder and finisher. Developing range.
Dana Evans- coming off a good AAU season. Good perimeter shooter, can play some PG if needed. Hard worker, likely best shooter on this roster. Good range, can play at the next level.
Rachel Sidoti- solid player at Ursuline. Tough and can guard you all over the court. Improving from behind the arc. Can drive and score. Good passer, loves to play fast north-to-south. Could turn into a D2 kid, good sized guard.
Anna Sidoti- excellent defensive player and a good passer. Like her sister, she has that toughness to her. Needs to become more consistent from the perimeter.
Anna Swisshelm Anna Swisshelm 6'0" | CG West Clermont | 2023 State OH – she appears to be on a great track to make an impact at the next level. Good athlete, still growing. Averaged 18 ppg as a freshman. Can shoot from the perimeter, just needs to become more consistent. Hard worker, hope to see her get chances to get some looks this summer. Keep an eye on this one.
Olivia Thierauf- Good kid, looking to use this summer to improve her game. Can shoot from the perimeter. Will make the good play, good teammate.
Alexei Vanschaik- out with an ACL injury since February. Leading scorer for this team summer. Long 5-8 guard who can shoot the three, can also score around the rim in a variety of ways, crafty scorer. Rehabbing and should be back in the fall.
Alexis Lovejoy- Should play the off-guard. Can shoot the ball well, continuing to improve. Young and hungry.
