Top 64 2022 Pella Summer League Week 1 Recap

This is year 17 for the Top64 Summer League in Pella. They put on a great league for the girls. Here’s who caught my eye in Week 1,<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/284226920_581256523323695_202520425056022108_n-crop-1284x844-1654297829.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-439854 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/284226920_581256523323695_202520425056022108_n-crop-1284x844-1654297829-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a> <strong>Stars - Grinnell Tigers</strong> #7 [player_tooltip player_id="127616" first="Haidyn" last="Hull"] 17 Points - Hull struggled early to find her rhythm. Most of the group Haidyn has played with forever is graduated and gone. She played well in the second half when she started getting aggressive and not settling for her three-point shot. Hull is a shooter who will have to round out her game for this young Grinnell group to win games. A very capable player. I’m excited to see how she grows this summer and her senior year. <p class="">#1 Bailey Strovers 12 Points - Bailey is a raw long hybrid-type player who can handle the ball if called on. She is a great aggressive defender who gets a lot of turnovers with her length. She looks to get on the court this season for school ball and make an impact on the tigers. Effective long stretch 3 in college with more work she could be a special player.</p> <p class=""><strong>Mercury - Montezuma Braves</strong></p> <p class="">#21 Madison Johannes 10 Points - Johannes showed a very impressive three-point range. Madison’s game is growing, Smart guard who defends well and can shoot the ball from three with great accuracy.</p> <p class="">#<span style="font-size: 1rem;">25 Jadyn Sharer 14 Points - Jadyn is solid and a highly capable scorer. She gets open because Monte has so many deep ball threats.  Flashy handles and strong defensive guard.</span></p> <strong>Shock - Pella Christian<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/285054399_966289934061431_4629002933948745772_n-crop-1284x844-1654297931.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-439856 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/285054399_966289934061431_4629002933948745772_n-crop-1284x844-1654297931-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a></strong> #79 Joslyn Terpstra 16 Points - The soccer star is a very strong guard. A high motor guard who is a pest on defense with her long reach. Get’s the ball and finishes well or makes the right pass. <strong>Sparks - Pella</strong> #60 Abby Warner 17 Points - Abby really impressed me with her toughness. Strong takes to the rim and her deadly jumper. Just as sharp on the defensive side and plays hard both ways all game. #62 [player_tooltip player_id="246118" first="Kennedy" last="Van Vark"] 15 Points - The younger Van Vark on the squad. Kennedy was consistent and tough to guard. mixed in with her sister Pella has a lot of size to work with on this team. <strong>Lynx - Knoxville</strong> #<span style="font-size: 1rem;">17 Hannah Dunkin 17 </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Points - Hard-nosed sophomore who will be a growing player for this group, Knoxville plays hard and is very young with only one senior in the group.</span> <strong>Liberty - Pella</strong> #<span style="font-size: 1rem;">53 -  Kelsey Tauke - 11 </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Points -Tauke was slicing and dicing the fullcourt pressure all game. A very shifty long guard who is only going to be a sophomore. High basketball IQ and court vision, Amazing shot blocker and uses her length well all over the court. </span> #57 Margaret Thompson - 11 Points - Thompson was all over the court grabbing boards and altering shots all game, Great young big with a lot of growth potential. Might get lost in the school ball rotation with all of Pella’s size. <strong>Dream - North Mahaska<img class="size-medium wp-image-439858 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/282624917_1304184716772543_5271311674387510647_n-crop-1147x753-1654297982-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></strong> #35 [player_tooltip player_id="311368" first="Breckyn" last="Schilling"]  - 6 Points - Breckyn isn’t used to playing without her sister and it showed. The only capable guard on a young team. Shilling will have to learn how to run her team without sister. #32 Regan Grewe -  7 Points - The sophomore helped as much as she could in a group learning how to play together. Look for Regan to settle in once they work more as a team. <strong>Suns - Ottumwa</strong> #46 Nellie Morgan 8 Points - Nellie fought tough the whole game and she’s only a sophomore. A strong long guard who can hit the three when open, #40 Camdyn Crouse 6 Points - Crouse had a few buckets in the losing effort but showed a lot of grit when down most of the game.
