<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our scouts teamed up at Prep Girls Hoops Live to write 16 event articles with hundreds of social media posts, dozens of Top Performers, and thousands of online views last year.

She finds bodies to box out and gets inside position to secure rebounds on both ends. Olivia will finish shots with both hands around the basket and is a double-double threat. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/10/standouts-at-the-fall-courthouse-league-week-2/">Read More About Olivia</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[982869],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682f42fd55ab5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alexandra recently picked up an offer from St. Mary's Notre Dame and she'll be one of the top 6-foot plus prospects at the PGH Michigan State Tournament this weekend. Alex is an active shot blocker and skillful finisher around the basket. Her length disrupts passing lanes and I'm excited to see her up close with MBA UA 2026 Rise!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/25041195/67a91f3d751285838a04080a' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682f42fd55c80"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874726"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682f27e37d2fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aliah is a 6-0 Forward who earned Division 7 All-District as a Junior at Maplewood. She averaged a productive 11.5 points, six rebounds, and 0.6 blocks per game as a sophomore. After watching Aliah's length, rebounding, an mobility on film, I'm excited to see her play in person for the first time with [program_tooltip program_id='714852' first='Ohio' last='Xtreme'] 16U at our PGH Michigan State tournament this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/05/15u-buckeye-breakdown-must-know-names-part-1/">Read More About Aliah</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["982870"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682f42fd55cfe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Annika will be a front-court prospect to watch at the PGH Michigan State Tournament this weekend. She trains hard off the court and that work is paying off this spring with MBA UA Rise 2026. Annika led the squad with 13 points against AR JB LadyBallers. She is productive as a shot blocker and rebounder--I'm excited to see her compete at our event!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/21329191/677e7ad9d5569dbed3ded070' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682f44cedb393"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1229245"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682f14602c11b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maddie is a prospect I am thrilled to watch in person for the first time this weekend at the PGH Michigan State Tournament. She was the District 4 Player of the Year and Second Team All-Ohio at Jackson High School. Maddie is a 6-0 Combo-Guard with shifty ball-handling and a deadly 3-point shot. She finishes acrobatic layups in traffic with touch and balance. Maddie is a must-see prospect this weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/03/players-who-put-on-a-clinic/">Read More About Maddie</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18725497/67aaa62b1536c1f37321b0f3' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682f14602c2d6"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["927978"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682f27e37d37d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gabrielle has grabbed attention from multiple scouts this spring and she will be one of the top post players to watch in the 2027 class at our PGH Michigan State Tournament is weekend. Gabby has excellent footwork and finishing touch around the basket--her confidence shooting and handling the ball continues to grow. Gabby protects the rim as a shot blocker and uses her length to close passing windows. She brings the positive energy and is an active communicator on the court. Gabby is a prospect coaches should prioritize seeing with [program_tooltip program_id='714556' first='TC' last='Elite'] 2027 T.J. this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/04/tc-elite-2027-practice-edition/">Read More About Gabrielle</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1246005"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682f27e37d3fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Claire is a traditional "big" who towers at 6-4 and is an imposing paint presence. She discourages drives with her high-volume shot blocking and isn't afraid to pull the trigger from 3-point distance. Claire is a challenge to keep off the offensive glass and judging by the film, she could be one of the best centers at the PGH Michigan State Tournament this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18274715/6761f950815712ac062ff75f' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682f27e37d5a7"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">More 6-Footers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1249502' first='Hadleigh' last='Byrd']-2028-6-0-[program_tooltip program_id='1249501' first='Grand' last='Rapids Outkast'] 17U</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hanah Collins-2026-6-0-B.1.C.E.
