Continue ReadingThe Prep Girls Hoops Freshman Showcase was loaded with talent. That makes coming up with an All-Event Team a very challenging task. Regardless, here’s my stab at it! Enjoy and feel free to comment on social media with what your PGH Freshman Showcase All-Event Team would look like.
Please keep in mind that this is just based off what I was able to see and I certainly wasn’t able to watch every minute or every game.
All-Event Team
Madison Aldridge (2027, 5’5″, Hamady)
Aldridge was an electric playmaker at the Freshman Showcase! She created for herself and her teammates on a very consistent basis. Defenders had a very difficult time staying in front of her and Aldridge did damage when she put her defender on her hip.
Ryenn Becher (2027, 6’2″, Linden)
Becher is a high level prospect with a very high upside. If a team wants a rim protector, she’d be a great player to start with. Becher challenges shots with her height and length. She’s also very good coming around the back and swatting a shot away.
Aaleigha Roberson Aaleigha Roberson 5'10" | C Portland | 2027 MI (2027, 5’10”, Portland)
Roberson can provide any lineup with power and versatility and she showed these traits well at the showcase. She could attack both outside-in as well as inside-out. Roberson knew how to use her strength on the glass and to manufacture looks at the rim.
Allison Crighton (2027, 5’8″, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s)
Every team needs a shooter right? Crighton’s jumper just looked so pure at the PGH Freshman Showcase. After a little investigation I learned that it wasn’t a 1 day thing, but that she’s a legit sniper from deep. If you can shoot the ball, you make teams.
Jozelynn Begick Jozelynn Begick 5'10" | SG Freeland | 2027 State MI (2027, 5’9″, Freeland)
Begick put her name square on the map with her performance at the event. She is a real offensive weapon off the wing. Begick was able to attack right to left and left to right, penetrate the lane and make plays. She’s a very legitimate multi level scorer.
Sydney Black (2027, 5’8″, East Lansing)
Black was so impressive on Sunday! She had an elite combination of strength, athleticism and ball skills. Black used her superior strength to be active on the offensive glass and power up put backs. She attacked the rim with authority on straight line drives.
Nichole James (2027, 6’2″, DEPSA)
James is an exciting prospect that would need to be on this team. She’s another really tough matchup. James can play with power in the lane, is a solid passer from the perimeter and high post and can bury a pull up triple at any time.
Elle Lorente (2027, 6’0″, Eaton Rapids)
They have something going with basketball in Eaton Rapids right now. There’s some really good young talent on the girls and boys side. Lorente is a matchup nightmare with her combination of strength and physicality with her perimeter skills. She’ll really stretch the floor in high school ball.
