Standouts From the Premier Fall League

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last night, I attended the first night of the Premier Fall League in Stoughton. I haven't driven out to the event in a few years, but talented kids in the Madison area turn out each year for their Fall League. Today, we'll highlight a few kids that stood out last night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='457866' first='Teagan' last='Schoenecker']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the 2026 class, there may not be anyone in Wisconsin who's improved as much over the last few seasons as [player_tooltip player_id='457866' first='Teagan' last='Schoenecker']. The 6'0 wing is a physical kid who can get up and down the floor in transition. I thought she was selfless and a willing passer, even though she knew she could attack the basket almost anytime. I'd argue she was the most talented kid at Oregon last season, and she'll be one of the most integral pieces for the Panthers for the next few seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zamara Gray</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I hadn't heard of Gray beforehand, but I saw after the fact that she'll be at the PGH Freshman Showcase in Appleton this weekend. Gray was one of the purest shooters that I saw in the gym. If she had time and space, she was shooting the ball. Gray was in a rhythm early on in Stoughton. The incoming freshman at Madison Country Day showed plenty of ability on the offensive end of the floor. Gray handled the ball well and made some solid reads last night. She's a new name that I noted.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Portia Segerstrom</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Beloit Turner guard isn't one of the most physically imposing guards, but she finds ways to make plays. I thought she turned the corner well and got downhill to put pressure on the basket. The other thing I loved about her game was how well she read the game. I don't remember her making many mistakes with the ball, and she created an environment where her teammates expected the ball when they were open because she routinely got her teammates the ball in space. I hadn't seen her play in a while, but I've always liked how responsible she is with the ball in her hands. She's probably someone that teams don't enjoy playing against.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='876885' first='Jayla' last='Hodges']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another Beloit Turner product, Hodges, thrived last night. Her length and activity stood out quickly. Players like Hodges may not always pop because she may not score in double-digits every game, but her ability to control the battle on the boards is vital to any team she plays for. Hodges' has the athleticism and length to high-point the ball that wouldn't give most other players a chance to rebound the ball. She's another player I hadn't seen play in person before, but Hodges made some eye-opening plays in a low-stress environment. You could tell she wanted to compete whenever she was on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
