PGH FRESHMAN SHOWCASE AWARDS!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Selecting the best of the best amongst so many quality prospects and top performers is a daunting task, but one we enjoy doing at our Prep Girls Hoops Showcases and Travel Circuit events. As scouts covering the events, we enjoy the challenge of evaluating and determining who the most effective prospects were on a particular day. At PGH travel circuits, our scouts cover specific age groups and announce an "All-Tourney Team" based on who shined brightest at the tournament. For the Freshman Showcase, Danyle and I each watched 3 teams throughout the day and collaborated at the end of the showcase to select 6 prospects deserving of "All-Showcase" honors. All-Showcase and All-Tournament prospects qualify because of their exceptional play on BOTH ends of the court and their ability to help their teammates succeed as well. Danyle and I have collaborated to create this honor roll based on our observations at the showcase. Prospects from all teams have been awarded honors including All-Showcase First Team, Second Team, Third Team, and All-Defensive Team. Use the article links below to read more about each prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a
