Gary Blevins Memorial Classic – 14U Overall Standouts

<strong>2025 5-4 PG #5 Laila Coleman - Team Lex Tarheels 2025</strong> A true point guard who can quickly spot the cutter and get the ball in their hands through traffic. Quick feet and likes to stay up and put pressure on the ball handler. Coleman hunts for the steal but can get back in position quickly if not successful. <strong>2025 6-2 C #23 Hillary Dawson - Texas U NC 14U</strong> Dawson is a very long and athletic post that has a lot of D1 potential. She can score with ease inside and finish while still drawing the foul. Had at least 3 huge blocks that resulted in an energy boost for her team each time. Also used her length to gamble on a few steals that lead to easy layups. <strong>2026 5-4 PG #0 Rilyn Grona - ProSkills SATX</strong> Rilyn Grona is small but mighty. With smooth handles and quickly finding the open teammate, she can deliver passes that you did NOT expect to be seeing when you walked into the gym. Encouraged her teammates throughout the whole game, on and off of the court. <strong>2025 5-10 PG #3 Brandie Harrod - Unity Basketball Hawkins 14U</strong> Harrod is a lengthy lefty with high D1 potential. She is listed as a point guard with nice handles and has confidence when bringing the ball up the floor. Has the ability to see the entire floor at all times. Can extend to finish around the rim in traffic to draw the foul. Plays the 1 on offense and the 5 on defense. Super athletic. <strong>2025 5-11 SG #1 Avery Hielmstad- Unity Basketball Hawkins 14U</strong> Avery came in off the bench for her teammate, Brandie (listed above), and fully executed her job. Could bring the ball up with ease, if needed. She commanded the offensive and defensive boards throughout the entire time she was on the floor. Finished the game with 10+ rebounds. <strong>2025 5-9 SG/SF #8 Dakota Howard - SSW Elite</strong> Dakota was the biggest hustler on the floor and you could count her fighting for every single loose ball. She flew around and was not afraid to take the charge. Her teammates looked to her for energy and leadership. Loved to work hard down low to finish the old-school three-point-play. <strong>2025 5-5 PG #4 Ainslee McComas - Unity Basketball Hawkins 14U</strong> McComas is an extremely scrappy defender that could easily make her opponents uncomfortable. Her defense led to multiple turnovers that resulted in easy layups for her team. She made it hard for the inbounder to get a good look. <strong>2026 5-3 SG #12 Jermiya Rice - Texas Elite ETX Spurs 14U</strong> Jermiya is a big-time hustler who took pride in her defense. She dove for each loose ball and made an effort to force turnovers on every possession. Ability to pull up and knock down the 3-ball when the other team was least expecting it.
