The Clash- Jim’s Top Point Guards

There were so many outstanding point guards who played at The Clash this weekend, including several from the games I got to see. Here is a look at some of the ones who shined in Hamilton!   Just note with all of my stories this week, my main primary focus was the 2026 class, as all three of us watch a different group.   [player_tooltip player_id='537683' first='Katey' last='Litten'], 5-7, [program_tooltip program_id='715874' first='Legends' last='U'] Blue 2026   Katie is a solid defender, her game has really grown. Able to take command from the PG spot, can push tempo and distribute well. She looks like a different player, able to create shots and knock down the three. Good baseline moves with the ability to score. Her court sense was a key part of the teams success.   Natalie Grace-Gagnon, 5-8, Indiana Prospects Black 2026   From the point guard spot, she can get the ball downhill and through the defense. Lefty, I do like the way she plays the game with a strong motor. Gritty guard, does a nice job on-ball defense and is able to fight through screens. She has a strong court presence as a leader.   [player_tooltip player_id='423691' first='Kamaria' last='Page'], 5-2, Always 100 Michigan 2026   This small quick guard has some electric handles and can push tempo with ease. Defensively, she is a good on-ball defender and is active with her hands, while she is not afraid of going inside to try to score. She may be small in stature but big with her game. Has that look on the court, the look of doing the little things for her team to succeed.   Macy Little, 5-4, Always 100 Black 2026   Macy is a scrappy defender with a good on-ball presence. Plays the game with a spark, fiery and active looking to make the play. Good smooth handles and she has good court vision, able to distribute the ball or score. A player who can be a difference maker for her team.   Isabella Veith, 5-6, [program_tooltip program_id='712459' first='Cincy' last='Swish'] Chialastri 2026   It's not a good idea to leave Isabella open from the perimeter. She will make you pay. Great hands on the defensive end, reacts quickly and gets deflections which she can turn into points in transition. Just a natural leader playing for a solid travel club. She makes an impact and does more than just score.   Syncear Poole, 5-5, [program_tooltip program_id='714816' first='Dayton' last='Vipers Elite'] 2026   I love the way she harasses her opponent and will be in her hip pocket all night. She is aggressive and her active hands will get to any loose basketballs on the floor. Has a quick first step which allows her to take advantage of a direct line to the rim. High energy kid. She made several plays that forces turnovers which turned into transition attempts.   [player_tooltip player_id='652479' first='Laila' last='Kelley'], 5-6, [program_tooltip program_id='790618' first='Arctic' last='Rush'] 2027 Blue   Right away I could tell she was a solid floor leader, the way she communicates to her teammates and showed the good qualities of a solid point guard. She has good court vision, can drive and dish on the move for the shot. Nice perimeter game. She's not flashy, but she doesn't need to be, she is effective at both ends of the floor.   [player_tooltip player_id='806940' first='Sanei' last='Partridge'], 5-3 WHERETONEXT 2026   She actually reached out to me before her games, and it was great to see her play. Sanei was one of the hardest workers I saw on Sunday. Plays with a lot of intensity, can push transition up the floor with handles. Plays with some swag and her on-ball defense is effective. Good hands and can pressure the ball. She can read and react to the play
