The entire PGH Ohio staff was in the house on Sunday for the annual Top 250 Expo, which saw over 120 players battle in a very competitive atmosphere.
Angie Saiter, Adam Johnson and myself split up and got to see every team in action and all of us will be covering the event throughout this week.
Tonight, a look at some impressive seniors who shined in action on Sunday. Reminder, these aren’t the best on the entire day, we will all be writing about the players from teams we were each assigned to. A lot of the kids will be written about this week, so check back often!
<span style="font-family: ’comic sans ms’, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"><strong>PGH Ohio Expo Dabbs All-2022 Team</strong></span>
<span style="font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="211794" first="Trinity" last="Ramos"], 5-7 Reynoldsburg</span></strong></span>
Really like her game, she showed a lot of poise and skill during her games that I saw. One thing she does that sticks out immediately is her ability to score from the perimeter. She has unlimited range with good accuracy. She can also create her own shots by penetrating to the rim with good moves in the paint for her size. Good defender, very solid uncommitted senior guard. <em>(featured photo above)</em>

Liv <em>(pictured left) </em>showed me a lot of grit and hustle when she was on the court, but she was also very skilled to go along with her effort. She shoots well off the pass, has good range from around the arc. She has the confidence to let it fly and gets into position to give her team the best chance to score. Impressive kid who was a nice defender with her athleticism and ran the floor well.
<span style="font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="157977" first="Sierra" last="Kemelgor"], 5-8 South Oldham (KY)<img class="size-medium wp-image-325791 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/09/66-Sierra-Kemelgor.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></span></strong></span>
She made the trip all the way from the Louisville area, she she brought her skilled game with her. What a great kid with a motor that wouldn’t stop. Sierra <em>(pictured right)</em> has excellent handles and is very productive in transition. Loves to push the ball north-south and is also a good on-ball defender. Plays downhill very effectively and does a nice job around the rim with rebounding. She is a player who has the skills for the next level.

Macy <em>(pictured left)</em> wasn’t far from home making the short trip to Columbus for this event. Macy was a solid defender with the ability to create opportunities for her team with her quick hands and solid ball pressure. She does a good job forcing mistakes with good court awareness and a high basketball IQ.
<span style="font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="32618" first="Imarianah" last="Russell"], 6-0<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/09/Russell-scaled-crop-1210x795-1631658930.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-326658 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/09/Russell-scaled-crop-1210x795-1631658930-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a> Reynoldsburg</span></strong></span>
The best overall player I saw on the day in my specific games. She is headed to West Virginia and showed incredible talent at both ends of the court. She has amazing court vision and is a solid defender, able to slide off her player and help for the turnover. Active and uses her long and athletic body to run the show. Great job on the boards, she is so physically strong. <em>(pictured right)</em>
