PGH Peach Games Day 1 Standouts

The Peach Games kicked off on Friday night with a lot of games that came down to the wire at Osborne High School. The first Prep Girls Hoops Circuit tournament in the Peach State has started off with a bang as so much talent was on display.  The guard play was what stood out and the speed on display was unreal. Day 1 did not disappoint. Here are the 16U players that stood out on the night. [player_tooltip player_id="409044" first="Reghan" last="Williams"] I 5’7 I SG I 2025 I Team Elite FIE 2024 Williams is a floor general that never stops working on both ends of the floor. When her team needed a basket, she wanted the basketball in her hands. A player that can score at all 3 levels. Knows how to take what the defense gives her. Has one of the nicest mid-range games I have seen in a long time. I loved her ability to push the ball in transition and stop on a dime for the pull up jump shot. A game changer.
