It's the third and final day of the PGH Midwest Extravaganza just went of Chicago, and I will continue my look at the 15U age group this weekend. Here are some standouts from Sunday's games, with the all-tournament team coming soon!   [player_tooltip player_id='1250715' first='Anna' last='Chilcutt'] - [program_tooltip program_id='712517' first='Full' last='Package'] 2027 Black   She caught my eye in a span of about three possessions when she knocked down a big three, then on the ensuing play she pressed her opponent into a turnover, grabbed the steal and scored at the rim. Very solid footwork and can make the moves to the rim and finish. She has solid fundamentals and as she gains more experience, her skillset will continue to grow.   Annie Acello - [program_tooltip program_id='712517' first='Full' last='Package'] Black 2027   Does a nice job in all aspects of the game, just a solid player who has a knack for being around the ball. She is proficient on the boards, does a good job rebounding the ball. On both ends of the floor, this young lady works her tail off and produces for her team. Good distributor of the ball, just an efficient all around player.   India Tye- KBD 2027   India is able to score on all three levels of the game. She runs the floor well in transition and is able to score and finish on the break. Explosive and can elevate and knock down the shot baseline against her defender. A good summer of offseason training will just continue to strengthen her overall game.   Harlie Liebermann - [program_tooltip program_id='714232' first='Pink' last='Elite'] Regional 2027   In the second half of the game I saw today, Harlie came up with some big plays and helped her team in a variety of ways. She put the ball on the ground and made some good north-south moves. She is a strong physical player able to battle through contact. Hard working and pushes herself to be a productive player.   [player_tooltip player_id='901794' first='Sydney' last='Arres'] - [program_tooltip program_id='716186' first='M14' last='Hoops'] Regional 1   BOOM! Long three shooter, quick release off the catch and shoot. Sneaky and active with the ball, does a nice job from the point guard spot. Good explosive step to the rim, and can finish on the break. Heads up player with a good motor.   [player_tooltip player_id='901796' first='Avery' last='Fick'] - [program_tooltip program_id='716186' first='M14' last='Hoops'] Regional 1   She came out firing, connecting on a three in the opening 5 seconds of the game! She was ready to play and it showed. She also connected on another long distance shot moments later. Moves well without the ball, also can drop the pass in the paint for the score. Scrappy and can defend multiple positions.   [player_tooltip player_id='881022' first='Ariana' last='Grveles'] - [program_tooltip program_id='715993' first='NWI' last='Select'] 2027   I love her ability to elevate and fade on her perimeter shot, good handles as she controls their offense. Mechanical with the ball, sees the floor well with good vision. Makes the tough pass, gets her teammates involved. Also, Ariana is able to catch and shoot from anywhere on the floor.   [player_tooltip player_id='882835' first='Olivia' last='Esquivel'] - [program_tooltip program_id='715993' first='NWI' last='Select'] 2027   She has some good length to her, which helps her defensively. She is able to read and react to the play, step in front and score in transition. Still learning the game, the next few months will be a solid time for her to continue to improve.
