PGH 250 Notes II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over 120 girls converge on MSA Woodland in Grand Rapids. Players from all over the state played three games and had the chance to shine in front of college coaches, myself, and Scott Hankamp. I walked away with a list of kids that I can't wait to follow this year. The competition was intense, yet I saw a lot of kids just enjoying the game. Below are some notes that I jotted down from the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='427198' first='Demi' last='Bolton'] | Hamtramck | 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a fun kid to watch; very bouncy player that plays above others; solid finisher through contact; intimidating defender that picked several pockets</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='424155' first='Alison' last='Farr'] | Howell | 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Has nice outlet passes after defensive rebounds; high energy as always; shots weren't falling yet she is getting into the right spots- off day as I have seen her hit a lot of shots in the past; in your face defender that created havoc</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='335982' first='Zion' last='Belcher-Arill'] | Grand Rapids Christian | 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No girl this tall should shoot the way she does- her shoot is silky and has deep range; sets nice screens and rolls well; seriously, the kid shoots like a guard, crazy nice stroke</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='502295' first='Ava' last='Davis'] | Northview | 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Strong kid that isn't moved from her spot; finishes with authority; rebounds well on both sides of the floor</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='425121' first='Madison' last='Page'] | Midland | 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smart kid that knew when to pressure and when to play off; had some nice steals; super quick release on shot</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='431342' first='Emilie' last='Eritano'] | Lamphere | 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not sure where Lamphere is but need to find out, this kid is good; sneaky player: has good head fakes and stalks passing lanes like a pro</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='281863' first='Mackenzie' last='Kyles'] | Cass Tech | 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Strong bodied kid that uses it; Had multiple steals which went for coast to coast layups</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='419539' first='Kadyn' last='Maida'] | Saline | 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shocking (jk) a Saline kid that can flat out shoot; had a massive block in transition that got me out of my seat; solid offensive player</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='502321' first='Samara' last='Mackey'] | Thurston | 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid is a rookie??
