PGH Legacy Region Finals: Impact guards in 16U

We didn't set out to select exclusively guards in our rundown of top performers in the 16U Division at the Legacy Region Finals this weekend. It just worked out that way. As we've seen so often in previous PGH Circuit events, there are a ton of talented floor generals in the region. Here are five great guards we liked at Wayzata High School.   [player_tooltip player_id='448300' first='Cali' last='Havlovitz'] – 2025 guard, [program_tooltip program_id='713145' first='Wisconsin' last='Blizzard'] Chase   We watched Blizzard Chase twice because we knew that [player_tooltip player_id='448256' first='Emily' last='Vogel'] would be fun to see again. It didn't take long, however, to realize that Havlovitz was making just as big a contribution as her teammate. The 5'4 guard is a three-sport athlete from Wild Rose, WI – population fewer than 800. She is super-quick, with great straight-line speed but also the ability to move rapidly in any direction and turn on the jets when needed. Cali plays with a ton of energy and is constantly on the move. We loved her sense of urgency and relentless pursuit of the basketball. She can also score. Havlovitz averaged 13 points per game as a freshman along with 6.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists. The stat that jumps out at me the most is her average of 5 steals, not surprising given how often she gets a hand on the ball when the opponent is trying to do something productive. Did we mention she can handle it at a high level, gets her shot off quickly and accurately, and makes precision passes? Cali is currently ranked #89 by PGH Wisconsin.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Kenley-Frey.jpg?w=252" alt="" class="wp-image-692484" width="189" height="224"/></figure>   Kenley Frey – 2025 guard, Chapman Academy South   There are a lot of similarities between Frey and Havlovitz. Kenley is about 5'5 and hails from Wisconsin Lutheran High School in the Milwaukee area. One thing became obvious rather quickly when watching her on Sunday – Frey can fire the three-ball. She made back-to-back triples in the first half to spark her team. She, too, has notable straight-line speed. With the ball in her hand, and eyes looking up, Frey weaves through traffic in transition at an impressive clip and was able to finish through contact upon arrival. Call her crafty. Or cagey. Or shifty. All of these adjectives apply because Frey is just so elusive. She has great elevation, which makes up for a lack of height, and has the type of agility and mobility that makes little guards difficult to defend. We're told there are a long line of Freys that have passed through the halls of Wisconsin Lutheran wearing basketball uniforms. Based on what we saw at Wayzata it looks like Kenley is more than capable of carrying on the tradition.   Here are three more guards we liked in the 16U Division.   [player_tooltip player_id='296514' first='Alaya' last='Carter'] – 2025 guard, [program_tooltip program_id='714562' first='FBC' last='North']   Alaya is just a baller. The 5'8 guard's got swagger, she's got skills and she can flat out score. Since joining [program_tooltip program_id='714562' first='FBC' last='North'] this season, Carter has made it obvious on the PGH Circuit that she has all the tools needed to play Division 1 basketball. Of course, we've known that in Minnesota for some time but now the rest of the region has also figured it out. The Top 20 prospect is smooth and fast with strong handles and the ability to knock shots down from everywhere. Her first step is killer, she can change directions on a dime, she passes the ball well and plays with passion. Add it all up and it's obvious why Alaya made first-team All-Tournament at the PGH Exclusive and the Legacy Region Kick Off and why she was one of the top performers this weekend. If Carter can stay healthy, there's no telling how good she can be.   [player_tooltip player_id='453728' first='Ajiem' last='Agwa'] – 2025 guard, [program_tooltip program_id='712352' first='Air' last='Minnesota']   Much like Carter, Agwa has taken maximum advantage of the platform offered by the PGH Circuit. The 5'8 point guard from Austin, MN has played at a very high level throughout the AAU season, demonstrating remarkable consistency in her playmaking, scoring and energy. She never seems to get too high or low. Her game face always appears to be on and she plays with the confidence and self-assurance that is so helpful for point guards. Agwa just makes plays, one after the other, game after game. Ajiem's play at the high school level and in previous AAU seasons has earned her the #52 ranking in Minnesota's Class of 2025. Her play on the PGH Circuit has earned her the respect of scouts and the attention of college coaches across the Midwest. The crafty junior-to-be is a shoo-in to play college ball at the D2 level but may get an opportunity to go D1. That would be well-deserved.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Harmoni-Mayberry.jpg?w=285" alt="" class="wp-image-692485" width="143" height="150"/></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='717675' first='Harmoni' last='Mayberry'] – 2026 guard, [program_tooltip program_id='714562' first='FBC' last='North'] 2025 Blue   Harmoni is actually a 2026 playing up a year for FBC and having success doing it. That's not a shock given that Mayberry has already been a factor on varsity at Park Center for a couple of  seasons now. Just 5'3, the little guard brings a ton to the table and can play at a very high level regardless of the age group. What we saw from her this weekend was a confident, composed leader – both vocally and by example. She's quick, skilled and rather bouncy. She plays with energy and pace. She handles the basketball at a very high level. She can shoot it from mid-range to beyond the arc. And she can defend with passion. There's just a certain smoothness to her game and an air of confidence that we love. With two more years to continue developing her game, there's no reason to believe Mayberry can't excel at the college game, too.
