PGH KY Top 250 Expo: Standouts (Part V)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Girls Hoops Top 250 Expo took place last weekend in Louisville, KY. This event included some of the best 2024, 2025, and 2026 prospects in the state. I enjoy scouting events in this format because I get to see players that I don't get to see play very often or have not seen at all. It's a great way to get my eye's on the "hidden gems" and the ones who have improved since the last time I watched them compete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>Below I have highlighted the prospects that stood out to me during this event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["652068"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6504d4df41b75"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='652068' first='Hailee' last='Gordon'] rebounded the ball at a very high level. Played solid low post defense and did a great job scoring inside. I like how she let the game come to her and didn't try to do too much. Gordon is poised for a big sophomore season at Woodford County.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["688045"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6504d4df41bd8"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='688045' first='Leighan' last='Jackson'] is a bruiser in the interior. She is strong and brings a physical presence when she is on the floor. Jackson also scored well around the rim and is capable of making mid-range jump shots at a consistent rate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["502286"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6504d4df41c1f"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='502286' first='Tiana' last='Long'] displayed incredible court-vision at the Expo. She see's the floor very well and always had her head up looking to dish the ball for an assist. Long is a big-time scorer, that can really light it up from three with her outside shooting ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["761880"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6504d4df41c5f"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='761880' first='Jaidan' last='Koch'] is a a high-level competitor that played hard on both ends of the floor for the entire game. She is a natural leader and has contagious energy that rubs off on her teammates. Koch also showed that she can score from the perimeter and in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["761884"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6504d4df41c9e"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='761884' first='Lilly' last='Lyvers'] is a lethal three-point shooter with a very quick release. She knocked down several 3's throughout the event making the defense pay for leaving her open. Lyvers did a good job distributing the ball as well, dropping dimes in transition that led to easy layups for her teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
