PGH Peach Games: 15U Hidden Gems

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This upcoming weekend, the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit continues on with two more big events – Chaos in Colorado and the Kansas City Clash.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we look forward to the upcoming gatherings in Colorado and Kansas, we must also take time to look back. Peach Games in metro-Atlanta was one of four Circuit events that took place last weekend.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>And among the litany of impressive performances that took place were those from a highly competitive 15U field. We unveiled our selections for our 15U First, Second and Third Teams in earlier articles this week. But there were a few more we figured were also worthy of recognition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1239638"],"_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-681ca85378938"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1239638' first='McKenzie' last='Murphy'] makes more magic happen. When seeing the performances of Murphy, one will likely come to the conclusion that 6A Hillgrove is more than poised to continue the winning ways it encountered in bulk this past season when the Hawks finished with a 22-8 record. She was one of the standout performers for an LOB Elite 2028 team that went 2-2 at Peach Games but went up against some of the toughest competition there was. Murphy stands at 5-foot-10 and possesses the rim-attacking skills of a point guard while fusing them together with the height of a four. The length she combines with her height is another attribute that makes her difficult to game plan for on either end of the floor.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["904720"],"_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-681ca853789a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Speaking of standouts from 6A schools, North Paulding's very own also shined bright this past weekend. Teams sporting the [program_tooltip program_id='713173' first='Wood' last='Elite'] colors and logo were among some of the toughest to beat at Peach Games. Hinkson's [program_tooltip program_id='713173' first='Wood' last='Elite'] E40 15U group was no exception. In one of her team's contests, she scored nine points, collected six steals and dished out three assists in a blowout victory over The SisterHood Lady Lions 15U Grim E40. Listed at 5-foot-6, Hinkson is an efficient passer and playmaker on defense in addition to her scoring capabilities. One way she places crooked numbers on the scoreboard is via the 3-point shot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1043275"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1242551,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-681ca85378a0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Everette's ever-ready mindset and attitude paid massive dividends for her [program_tooltip program_id='713296' first='Team' last='Brandan Wright'] 15U Red team this past weekend in Georgia. Her team's two losses were against two of the tougher 15U assemblings at Peach Games in [program_tooltip program_id='713618' first='Macon' last='Mystics'] 2028 and [program_tooltip program_id='715404' first='North' last='Metro Elite'] 15U. In the defeat to the team from the north Atlanta suburbs, Everette led her team with an 11-point performance. She was especially effective from behind the 3-point line as she drained three from behind the arc. Everette had three of her team's six from long range in that game. She can give a team worthwhile minutes at either the one or two, is effective as well on the defensive end of the floor and can make plays in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1236963"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1242530,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-681ca85378a5a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams' [program_tooltip program_id='713452' first='FBC' last=''] Team All In Sisterhood 15U started Peach Games on the right foot with a win over [program_tooltip program_id='713452' first='FBC' last=''] Dynasty 15U prior to defeats to [program_tooltip program_id='713173' first='Wood' last='Elite'] Howren 15U and LOB Elite 2028. She was a bright spot for her team because not only was she a consistent playmaker, she did so while playing up in class. She plays at Long Cane MS which is a feeder for 3A Troup County. She stands at an even six feet and combines length with height to make an impact on both ends of the floor. She is also a gifted rebounder and possesses the 3-point shooting capabilities of many two guards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["901958"],"_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-681ca85378a9c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baisden previously played her middle school basketball at Bunche MS before ascending to the high school ranks with 2A Therrell. She was a key factor in why her Team XYZ Golden Eagles 15U team departed from Peach Games with a 3-1 mark. She particularly excels on defense. Make a ball handling mistake in close proximity to Baisden and she will make sure it goes the other way. She also possesses the ability to put points on the board from all three levels. One of her team's tougher contests of this past weekend was against LOB Elite 2028. Team XYZ Golden Eagles 15U claimed the 57-53 victory in large part because of Baisden's 22 points. In addition to playing basketball, she also thrives as a flag football standout. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
