PGH Triumph Region Finals Day 2 Standouts

Day 2 of the PGH Triumph Region Finals did not disappoint. There were high point performances and champions being crowned. It was a day of exciting basketball across all divisions. We had the opportunity to see all the athletes showcase their talents and leave it all on the court on Championship Sunday. Here were the players that stood out for me on Sunday. Sarah Ezell I 6’1 I SF I 2024 I FCA Eagles 2024 Ezell showed her ability to score at will against anyone that was guarding her all weekend. She always knows how to find the soft spot in the defense to get her shot off. A player that crashes the boards hard on both ends of the floor. When the defense clogs up the paint she can step out and hit the short corner jump shot. She is automatic from the free throw line. A game changer. <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/05/Cameryn-Ridderikhoff-rotated-crop-480x316-1653936976.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-436963 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/05/Cameryn-Ridderikhoff-rotated-crop-480x316-1653936976-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Cameryn Ridderikhoff I 5’9 I Wing I 2025 I Richmond Heat 2025 A playmaker that doesn’t hesitate to score.
