She is already in the 1,000 point scoring and 500 rebound club at Knox Central high school. Collins has multiple colleges offers that proves she is more than capable of playing at the next level. She averaged a double double almost every game at Nationals if KY Premier needed a bucket all they had to do was feed Collins in the post and watch her go to work. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":470267,"width":208,"height":277,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","className":"is-style-rounded"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/halle-768x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-470267" width="208" height="277" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='376323' first='Zaniyah' last='Williams']-KY Premier 16U CANN</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Zaniyah "Z" Williams is an absolute problem she has exceptional size and length for a combo guard. Williams is nationally ranked coming out of the 2026 class, this young prodigy has college offers at almost every D1 level including MEAC, CAA, BIG 12, SEC, BIG EAST, BIG TEN, and ACC. She had multiple 20 point performances throughout the event, notably against New Jersey Panthers 16U Black. "Z" went off for 24 points along with a few assist and a couple steals. Williams carried this momentum into the championship game where she did more than enough to guarantee her team takes home the trophy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":470268,"width":253,"height":250,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","className":"is-style-rounded"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/z-1024x1012.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-470268" width="253" height="250" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='254562' first='Peyton' last='Bradley']-KY Premier 16U CANN</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='254562' first='Peyton' last='Bradley'] is an elite three point shooter with limitless range on her shot. She is the type of shooter that always has the green light, Bradley shoots with confidence she is a difficult shot taker and maker even with a hand in her face she can still drain it from deep. In the Championship game against Tennessee Flight EYBL she hit several long distance threes in a row. This forced the defenders to play up on her so she started attacking the paint converting at the rim with ease. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":470271,"width":280,"height":156,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","className":"is-style-rounded"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/peyton-1024x572.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-470271" width="280" height="156" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='329430' first='Natalea' last='Clark']-Richmond Heat 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The Richmond Heat 2023 team went 4-1 at Nationals and finished Runner-Ups in the Platinum Bracket. [player_tooltip player_id='329430' first='Natalea' last='Clark'] was solid on the offensive end she averaged 7 points per game throughout the tournament and always delivered a bucket when her team needed one. Clark was really effective on defense her ability to take a player out of their comfort zone by applying intense ball pressure is next level. Clark plays every possession like its her last her high energy and motor elevates her teammates and makes them play harder on defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":470452,"width":259,"height":259,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none","className":"is-style-rounded"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-rounded"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/rihcmonf.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-470452" width="259" height="259" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='199616' first='Gracyn' last='Grantz']-Richmond Heat 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='199616' first='Gracyn' last='Grantz'] continues to show her ability to be a leader on the court whether it is vocally or by example with her play. Grantz was very consistent knocking down shots from the perimeter with her catch and shoot ability. Even though she plays primarily the shooting guard position she has the skills to run the point and get others involved. Grantz has offers at the college level I see D1 potential in her a she keeps improving her game like she has been this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":470457,"width":238,"height":317,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none","className":"is-style-rounded"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-rounded"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/gracyn.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-470457" width="238" height="317" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size"><strong>Ashton Harris-Richmond Heat 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ashton Harris was a key piece to Richmond Heats 4-0 start at Nationals.

Ford played extremely well for KY Premier 17U her individual efforts on both ends of the floor along with the successful play of her teammates helped them become champions of the Aqua Platinum bracket at the Orlando Splash and a good run at Nationals as well.

Feltner is a 3-level scorer with great touch on her jump shot allowing her to hit from the mid and long range. She is lethal in the triple threat position she uses her pivot well taking her defender off dribble driving to the rim to score a layup or get to the free throw line.
