PGH Live: 16U All-Tournament Team

Prep Girls Hoops Live brought together a lot of talent under one roof. Given the assignment of putting together an all-tournament team is no easy task. There’s the debate of putting together a team of top performers for the tournament or best overall prospects. I believe the teams below have a combination of those that performed the best and those that are more highly sought after by top college programs. The teams that won all of their games were given a priority. Especially those teams in the higher pools. <hr /> First Team Alyssa Nielsen - 5’11 PF 2023 - Team Griffin 2023 <img class="size-large wp-image-287784 aligncenter" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/Alyssa-Nielsen-1.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" />If there were CO-MVP’s of the tournament, Alyssa Nielsen and Gracy Wernli would have been the two chosen. Alyssa is a tough matchup for a defender of any size. Alyssa is currently the #6 ranked 2023 in the state of Oklahoma by PGH Oklahoma and she showed why. She is a beast in the paint and can step and fade against length, making her tough to stop. She’s in the 5’11-6’0 range but the way she plays, it doesn’t really matter that she’s not 6’2 or 6’3 for her position. <hr /> Gracy Wernli - 5’9 G 2023 - Team Griffin 2023 <img class="size-large wp-image-273217 aligncenter" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/04/DSC_0801-1024x681.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="681" /> Gracy is the #8 ranked prospect in Oklahoma according to PGH Oklahoma. She was one of the top shooters and competitive leaders in the tournament. One of the top and most consistent scorers, as her jumper was deadly accurate for the undefeated team of Team Griffin 2023. Team Griffin was dominant on both ends and Gracy lead the charge for them. <hr /> Emilee Fox - 5’8 G 2024 - SD Attack 2023 <img class="size-large wp-image-287931 aligncenter" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/Emilee-Fox-1.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" />Emilee put on a scoring clinic at PGH Live. She was hitting fades, mid-range, and of course pouring in threes. She was one of the top scoring performers in the event and is why she received first Team honors. She’s a top 2024 prospect in South Dakota. <hr /> Mya Skoff - 5'10 CG 2023 - Team Factory 2023 <img class="size-large wp-image-288261 aligncenter" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/Mya-Skoff.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" />Mya played like she was on a mission. She was attacking the rim with authority and with purpose, while also nailing threes all tournament with volume and efficiency. So she put up some good scoring numbers leading her team to an undefeated 4-0. <hr /> Brooklyn Harpe - 6'0 G 2023 - SD Network <img class="size-large wp-image-287856 aligncenter" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/Brooklyn-Harpe-953x1024.jpg" alt="" width="953" height="1024" />Brooklyn keeps getting mentioned for her play and her rising stock. She’s one of the most improved prospects in the state of South Dakota and people outside of the Dakotas are starting to take notice of her. She’s become a dual-threat with her improved offensive skills, shooting, and killer instincts. She’s playing with a ton of confidence. <hr /> Second Team Gentry Baldwin - 5'5 PG 2023 - Team Griffin 2023 - Gentry can control a game and pace as well as anyone. Elite quickness and ball-handling. Can stroke a three with ease. Jaidyn Dunn - 6’1 Wing/PF 2024 - SD Network 2023 - Jaidyn showed a versatile offensive game, stepping out to 3-point territory and knocking down shots. Ellie Magestro-Kennedy - 5’8 PG 2023 - Let It Rain 2023 Black - Ellie is an ultra-competitive point guard with extremely quick handles. She attacks the hoop quickly and ferociously. One of the more competitive talents and leaders you’ll find. Ellie Brueggemann - 5'8 SG 2023 - Team Griffin 2023 - Superbly long and a massive 3-point threat. Really stretches and opens up the court for Team Griffin. MaKenzie Drout - 5’9 CG 2023 - Let It Rain 2023 Black - A creator with the ball in her hands. Easily creates her own plays with the dribble. <hr /> Third Team Kalayia Johnson - 5'9 Wing 2023 - Team Griffin 2023 Avree Antony - 5’9 CG 2023 - Let It Rain 2023 Black Clara Teigland - 5'9 G 2023 - Nebraska Attack 2023 UAA Abbie Dix - 5’11 PF-C 2023 - Let It Rain 2023 Black Addison Klosterbuer - 5’11 G-Wing 2023 - SD Attack 2023 <hr /> Other top performers and prospects Jenna Twedt - 5’8 G 2023 - Team Iowa 2023 Emma Slings - 5’10 G 2023 - Team Iowa 2023 Ashlynn Kingsbury - 5’11 Wing 2023 - United Sports Academy 2023 Riley Batta - 5’10 G 2023 - United Sports Academy 2023 Payton Hardy 5’11 F 2023 - United Sports Academy 2023 Paige Lambe - 6’1 PF 2023 - Let It Rain 2023 Black McKenna Murphy - 5’8 G 2024 - Nebraska Attack 2023 UAA Emily Jaenke - 5’10 Wing 2023 - Let It Rain 2023 Black Kiana Wiley - 5’8 G 2023 - Nebraska Attack 2023 UAA Shalayne Nagel - 5’11 Wing-PF 2023 - SD Attack 2023 Allison Hampel - 5’11 PF 2023 - Wisconsin Fuel 2023 Eris Lester - 5’9 G 2024 - FBC Nightmares Teal 24/23 Miya Nieto - 5'6 G 2023 - Missouri Tarheels 2023 Adison Markowski - 5’8 SG-SF 2023 - Nebraska Lasers Supreme 2023 Gold Brinly Christensen - 5’11 Wing 2023 - Nebraska Lasers Supreme 2023 Gold Gracie Kircher - 5’11 PF 2023 - Nebraska Lasers Supreme 2023 Gold Alyssa Fortik - 5’3 PG 2023 - Nebraska Lasers Supreme 2023 Gold Makenna Lesiak - 5’9 Wing 2023 - Nebraska Lasers Supreme 2023 Gold Avery Yosten - 6’1 PF 2024 - Nebraska Attack 2023 UAA McKenna Murphy - 5’8 G 2024 - Nebraska Attack 2023 UAA Jailynn Brill - 6’1 PF-C 2023 - Nebraska Attack 2023 UAA Aaliyah Riley - 5’7 PG 2024 - CY Select Wolves 2023 Mariah Farmer - 5’6 PG 2023 - Lady Prospects 2023 Addie Branscum - 6’0 Wing 2024 - Colorado Titans 2023 Sydney Hurd - 6’1 PF 2023 - CY Select Wolves 2023 Alpha Kirya Mack - 5’10 G 2023 - MTB Lady Elite 2023 Aowyn Seek - 5’10 G 2024 - MTB Lady Elite 2023 Lauren Swan - 5’10 G/Wing 2023 - Nebraska Lasers Supreme HS Black Brianna Simpson - 5’8 G 2023 - SD Network 2023 Maggie Taylor - 6’4 C 2024 - SD Network 2023 Elizabeth Hoffmann - 5’10 Wing 2023 - OSA 2023 National Hall Addie Klahn - 5’8 G 2023 - OSA 2023 National Hall
