Southeast Slam: 16U Second Team All-Tournament

This weekend was one of the last <strong>Triumph Region</strong> events in the <strong>PGH Circuit</strong>. Over the course of Saturday/Sunday at Mainland HS, I watched teams from the Southeast (and Illinois) compete in the <strong>Southeast Slam</strong>. Here is our <em>16U Second Team All-Tournament</em>: <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><img class=" wp-image-432013 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/05/IMG_1571-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="192" height="192" />[player_tooltip player_id="430455" first="Kimora" last="Hester"] </strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">| Q4 Elite | 2025</span></span> Kimora was one of the top athletes in the building in Daytona Beach. This lefty has a really good jumper with a lot of height and elevation from mid-range. She had some acrobatic finishes at the rim and stood out as one of the best players in the Q4 Elite program. There is a lot of upside and potential as she continues to delevop her overall game. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><img class=" wp-image-432014 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/05/IMG_1577-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="189" height="189" />[player_tooltip player_id="363182" first="Courtney" last="Campbell"] </strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">| H2 Lowco | 2025</span></span> Courtney is a scrappy player that you love to have on your team. She plays hard, plays smart, and is always willing to make the tough play like diving on the floor and sacrificing her body. The rising Sophomore can hit the runner, finish at the rim with strength, and lock up the other team's best guard. I really like her overall game with how she dishes the rock, rebounds, and gets her hands on the ball of defense. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><img class=" wp-image-432015 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/05/IMG_1570-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="189" height="189" />Makayla Kelly</strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> | Illinois Dream | 2024</span></span> This was my first time seeing Makayla and I was impressed with her ability to run the offense, hit the outside shot, and use her length to create havoc on both ends. Her runner was tough to stop and she has really good handles that she used to change direction and get past her defender. On defense, she crashed the boards hard and had a really fundamentally strong overall game with good court awareness. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><img class=" wp-image-432012 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/05/IMG_1572-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="189" height="189" />[player_tooltip player_id="243916" first="Victoria" last="Valle"] </strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">| Miami Impact | 2027</span></span> Victoria is the youngest player on any of my lists. She's a gem that has a very high ceiling with such a high basketball IQ and feel for the game already. Her outside shot is great, she can handle the rock while controlling the pace, and she defends hard with good length. I often hear how impressed others are with her transition game and how she pushes the tempo and sees the floor well. Victoria is a big threat to score it anywhere on the floor at all times. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><img class=" wp-image-432016 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/05/IMG_1574-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="189" height="189" />[player_tooltip player_id="430454" first="Gaby" last="Garcia-Pons"] </strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">| Miami Impact | 2025</span></span> Gaby did all of the little things right this weekend. She boxes out hard, finishes at the rim, and plays the game unselfish on a talented squad. Her length and ability to disrupt the passing lanes or the dribblers pocket make her a strong all-around player. Gaby shoots it well, plays with intensity on both ends, and does a good job of rebouding the ball. &nbsp; <hr /> <hr /> The Triumph Region of the <strong>PGH Circuit</strong> will head to Council Bluffs for PGH Live next weekend to join every region as part of the Live Evaluation Period. <em>For all things Circuit, follow @PGHCircuit on Twitter and @PrepGirlsHoops on Instagram!</em> <hr /> <strong>Brandon Fisher</strong> is a Senior Scout for Prep Girls Hoops Florida and a Regional Scout for the PGH Circuit.
