PGH Victory Region Recap- 16U All-Tourney

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This year on the Prep Girls Hoops circuit, I saw several 16U games and teams in action. With that said, I have chosen the all-circuit team for that age group! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='514946' first='Shania' last='James'], Example Academy UA Rise 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":727467,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/D1D2E0E5-7DD9-4CC1-9A14-080B43404E55.jpeg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-727467" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you want someone to just take over a game, I would bet Shania would be willing to do that. Bigtime talent with many ways to shine as a big playmaker. Like I said before, she can really change the game, she has great handles and sees the court so well. Will make the play and there is not much you can do to stop her. She is so quick and active. Can shoot over you and get by you.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='360804' first='Maya' last='Nahar'], Untied Basketball Family</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":657504,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/tempImageG4khKq-rotated.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-657504" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She left her mark in the one tournament she played in at the River City Run in Louisville. Major factor on the court at both ends of the floor. Can rebound and defend, blocks and alters shots. She is is athletic and long, she runs the floor as good as anyone and finishes strong at the rim. She's a bigtime talent and I expect a very productive season in 2023-24.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kennedy Stamper, United Basketball Family</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":738197,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/08/tempImage4trIxo-rotated.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-738197" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>First of all, I was shocked to find out she is only going to be a freshman, her talent is incredible for a player who is playing up. She has such a great first step and can score literally on anyone. Great handles and can play in a physical style of game without fear. Very head smart for her age and she has just begun to scratch the surface of her ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Addison Reuter, Michigan Drive Premier</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":691037,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/tempImagezn60TW-rotated.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-691037" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I made it a point to see her more than once at the Finals because I was so captured by her game. She is a long, athletic wing who can do anything needed to win. She sees the floor very well and can move without the ball to get into position. Love her footwork and has a great dropstep and move to the rim. Soft touch in the paint, she is special. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='661254' first='Kate' last='Donovan'], [program_tooltip program_id='712517' first='Full' last='Package'] Black 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid is the epitome of a point guard, which seems to run strong in this club. Kate has great court vision and it allows her to push in transition and get easy scores for her team. She has a very good basketball IQ and defensively she can lock you down and create mistakes. Her passing is spot on and she makes the right play. Absolute stud! <em>(feature photo above)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
