PGH Battle in the Sunflower: 14U and 15U Impact Players (Part 3)

<strong>Prep Girls Hoop </strong><em>coverage continues at</em><em><strong> Battle in the Sunflower</strong></em> in Wichita, KS with the 14U and 15U athletes that stood out to me and made a big impact on the court. Part 3 <strong><img class="wp-image-462404 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/IMG_9018-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="155" height="207" />Syniah Coachman | 5-11 / CG | Lakeside JH | Banshees 2027 Purple</strong> Syniah is a long, athletic player with loads of potential. She can handle the ball like a guard but can play big with the forwards. When the ball is in her hands, she controls the pace of the game, is strong when driving to the basket, and can absorb contact well to finish. She uses her length to rebound, block shots and dominate the court on both ends. Defensively she is active with quick hands, quick feet, and doesn't quit on plays. Syniah towers over opponents with her length and shows signs that she will continue to grow. Her ability to shoot looks promising and continuing to develop her shot will put her in a class of her own. <strong><img class=" wp-image-462406 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/IMG_9032-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="137" height="183" />Mariah Heron | 5-5 / G | Waller MS | Enid Lady Elite 2027</strong> Mariah is a player that will fight, and claw her way to the basket for a bucket. She plays with passion and enthusiasm especially when she makes an and-1 basket. She feeds off of those moments and her energy was on full display. She plays under control and is calm under pressure. Mariah has the ability to shoot it from deep and is a willing passer when being pressured, but doesn't back down from the moment. <strong><img class=" wp-image-462407 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/IMG_9063-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="143" height="191" />Alex Keister | 5-7 / G | [program_tooltip program_id='715643' first='Kansas' last='Elite'] DDI 2025 | 2026</strong> Alex is a player that can score in multiple ways. She handles the ball good, and is pretty deceptive with her hesitation dribble. She caught a few defenders slipping and made them stumble because of her ability to handle the ball. She is a willing passer and makes the right decisions within the offense. Her team is playing their best when the ball is in her hand and she is being aggressive. She can shoot it from deep and is very effective driving down hill and slashing to the basket. <strong><img class=" wp-image-462409 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/IMG_9061-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="164" height="219" />Cambrie Phillips | 5-9 / G | Bentonville HS | Arkansas Athletes Outreach Flight 2025</strong> Cambrie was on fire in the first game vs [program_tooltip program_id='715643' first='Kansas' last='Elite'] on day 2 hitting shot after shot from deep, including a 4-point play in the corner. She has good looking stroke with good shot mechanics. She is long and makes a difference on the defensive end using her active hands and feet to disrupt the flow of the opposing team. She rotates pretty well, and puts in the work to be an asset. Cambrie has Steph Curry range and hit 5 3-pointers in the game vs [program_tooltip program_id='715643' first='Kansas' last='Elite']. <strong><img class=" wp-image-462411 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/IMG_9017-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="158" height="211" />Jaida Crawford | 5-7 / CG | Ramay JH | Banshees 2027 Purple</strong> Jaida is a player that is ready to get a spark going for her team. She is quick off the dribble and wants to get downhill to the basket. She is able to make adjustments on the fly by changing directions or finding open teammates. She has a good-looking set shot from deep but is not afraid to put it on the ground and pull up if it is open. Jaida plays with passion, and works hard on the court. She has already caught some attention from colleges and if she continues to develop and get better, more offers will continue to roll in.
