PGH Victory Region Kickoff: Byron’s Saturday Standouts

<!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">The official kickoff of our Prep Girls Hoops Circuit started Saturday, and it was non stop action from 8am-9pm. So much talent in one building. Below are my 16u/17u standouts from Day 1. </h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["405514"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":518581,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022 style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eStack was just impressive in both games that she played. She showed her versatility, by being able to score from all levels on the court, defend multiple positions and her constant need to be aggressive on all possessions. She's much stronger than she appears and has the length to play the 3-5. Her mobility, and effort come with out question too. Wether she touches the ball on that possession or not, Stack still gives 100% of herself. Easily my favorite player that I watched Saturday u003c/spanu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["514898"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022 style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eShe is going to be a special. Quinn has gotten the label as just a shooter, but Saturday she showed her ability to get where she needs to on the court. The handle, the speed, the quickness and the energy and strength to attack the rim even when she's not the biggest on the court. She moved well without the ball, and made some solid plays to get teammates open or to get them a bucket. u003c/spanu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["628608"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022 style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eI can speak to her work ethic, and it is crazy. 5am before school, this kid is in the gym working on her craft. That work translates. She's a combo guard who's just a complete headache to deal with on all levels on the court. Carney can hit the three ball, attack a packed paint or she plays the patient game and maneuvers her way to her spots. Wether the shots are falling or not, it's clear Carney knows how to dissect a defense and get to her comfort areas. She plays strong as well. Tons of athleticism and focusu003c/spanu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["514034"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eThe shooting has no limit. Brooks will let it go from anywhere, at any moment, on anyone. She's confident, quiet and can just simply play basketball. She cheered more for her teammates than she did for herself throughout the day.. even after knocking down her fair share of threes throughout the day. So much upside. u003c/spanu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["265973"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022 style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eNot too much emotion from Miller, but her game speaks volumes. She's strong in the post, patient on the block and can score in a multitude of ways from the midrange area or around the rim. She has a strong sense of awareness of her position when on the post, and can be one of the most efficient players on the court as well. u003c/spanu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["515548"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022 style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eI wasn't able to catch much of Maggie doing her HS season, but all I keep hearing was “you gotta see this kid”.. and i see why. Maggie is talented. Crafty on the drive, eyes are always up, she's quick with the release, and her vision is just as sharp and clear as any top guard in the building on Saturday. She's a key combo guard that can change the direction of a team. Strong potential. u003c/spanu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["498820"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022 style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eShooters shoot, and that's what Audrey did Saturday. In game 1 (for sure game of the day), Mahoney was key to the Fires win. She hit a couple all net three balls that got the team back into focus, and ultimately won them the game. Most lefty's have the pure, quick and correct form.. she has it. u003c/spanu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["265474"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022 style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eThe confidence, the swag, the walk.. Guyton knows she's talented but never seems to play out of the role that shes needed for. She can go on a scoring streak, facilitate for a 5 minute stretch, or simply find the balance of both and completely take over a game. She's aggressive on both sides of the court and continues to be effective and efficient. u003c/spanu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["419468"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eThe potential is high, the skill set is wide and Ezike is no where near her peak. Every team or program has that one true position less player, and that seems to be Ezikes role. She can move with the ball, without the ball, score, run the floor, and defend. She does everything well. She's strong, quick and has the size to be a mismatch for a guard and the agility to be a mismatch for a big.u003c/spanu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["500611"],"_player_evaluations_9_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eThe length, versatility and the ability to defend multiple positions is key for any program. Symone makes her presence known on the court by just being in the right spot at the right time. Harrell has great footwork, strong hands and can score from all levels. She moves well without the ball and can be just as effective in the court without it. She's a building block of a player. u003c/spanu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":10,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642958ba7d9cd"} /-->
