PGH Peach Games – 15U First Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With four of the latest Prep Girls Hoops Circuit events in the record books of history, it is time to recognize those we felt were worthy of all-tournament status.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With all of the talent that as on hand in Georgia and as many teams that showed up to show out, it was particularly difficult to arrive at decisions for who should be on which teams.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Deliberation – and rewatching game tape – ultimately leads to decisions and these were the five we felt were worthy of first-team honors.

[program_tooltip program_id='713173' first='Wood' last='Elite'] 2026 was one of only two teams in the entire 15U classification to go 4-0 for the tournament. Smiley was a huge reason for the team's success. Smiley finished with 12 points in a matchup with [program_tooltip program_id='713426' first='Team' last='Nite Nite'] 2026 which put a bow on Saturday's play. Eight of the 12 points she scored were placed on the scoreboard in the first half.

In Saturday's contest against another Georgia team in [program_tooltip program_id='713426' first='Team' last='Nite Nite'] 2026, she finished with 11 points. Jacobs brings versatility to any team she plays on with her ability to play productive minutes as either a point guard or as a shooting guard. She can be accurate from behind the 3-point line and will also draw contact to put points on the board via the free throw line.

In her team's 51-48 triumph over [program_tooltip program_id='713698' first='Lights' last='Out Ballers (LOB)'] 2026, Smith led all scorers with 13 points. She proves herself to be an important defensive cog in that well-oiled machine with her ability to corral steals. Getting to the free throw line and finishing on her opportunities near the basket are two other strong points of her game. Ten of her 13 points she had in that matchup were scored in the second half.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-645a9168f1336"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["596288"],"_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":"","_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":"Simpson saved some of her best for last this past weekend at Peach Games.
