<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This year's Prep Girls Hoops Circuit got underway in early April. As May transitions to June, another season of the Circuit is close to being in the books.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The year 2025 once again featured a four-region Circuit with the return of the Triumph Region. Its Finals emanated from Columbus State University in west-Central Georgia. Other events around the country included the Victory Region Finals in Chicago, the Dynasty Region Finals in Dallas and the Legacy Region Finals in Wisconsin.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The annual Battle in the Sunflower event in Kansas is the lone Circuit event remaining on this year's schedule.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After spotlighting the 15U standouts from the first day of play, we now turn our attention to who caught ours on the second day of action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1249489"],"_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":1253513,"_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-683d39f980229"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Given Kendrick plays for a Columbus-area school in St. Anne-Pacelli, she did not have the arduous trek to get to Columbus State that others may have encountered. Kendrick was part of a 2024-25 Vikings version that concluded last season with a 22-4 record. She stands at 5-foot-8 and can make plays either in the interior or from long range. There will be plays where she sets up offensively either in the corner behind the arc or on the wing, giving opposing defenses the question of if she will shoot or if she will attack the basket. Her height is complimented by the length she has. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1249486"],"_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":1253514,"_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-683d39f98029d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mock also played for one of Georgia's premier teams in 2024-25. Her Randolph-Clay team last season concluded said campaign having gone 23-7. Where Mock particularly shines is on defense. She began Sunday's play putting on a defensive clinic against All Alabama 15U – including intercepting opposing team passes to give her team additional offensive possessions. Mock also helped out on double teams. Her defensive work also included running out to the perimeter to affect the trajectory of an opponent's attempt from deep. As an offensive players, she displayed a keen ability to put points on the board from all three levels. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1161947"],"_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":1253515,"_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-683d39f9802f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kendall and her [program_tooltip program_id='713456' first='Porter' last='Sports'] 15U team began Triumph Region Finals Sunday with an early morning victory over All Alabama 15U. The final was an emphatic 60-27 and 60-27 and Kendall tallied 13 points. Kendall's Heard County team from last season concluded said 2024-25 campaign having gone 25-4. She can connect in the mid range, uses her height to her advantage and has no problems converting on tough shots. Out of the 13 points she scored, 11 were placed on the scoreboard in the first half of play. She primarily plays in the backcourt as either a two or a one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1241888"],"_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":1253516,"_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-683d39f98034d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas is the lone representative from Brooks County on this season's [program_tooltip program_id='713456' first='Porter' last='Sports'] 15U team. Last season's version concluded 2024-25 with a record of 19-8. Thomas and her [program_tooltip program_id='713456' first='Porter' last='Sports'] 15U squad opened Triumph Region Finals Sunday with a dominant victory over All Alabama 15U. In addition to being an effective player on offense, she displays her ability to be a leader on defense – veteran instincts for a young player. Listed at 5-foot-8, she is a threat to reject shots as a defender and will also collect plenty of steals. Rebounding is another one of the strong points to her overall game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1231463"],"_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-683d39f980399"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We have written extensively about the play of Weed throughout the Triumph Region as All Alabama 15U made appearances at all three events on the southeast's Circuit schedule. With her ability to connect on her attempts from either the mid range or the long range, Weed will leave many a defense guessing. Add in the fact that she brings a fearless attitude with rim attacking abilities with a willingness to draw contact to get to the free throw line. Giving representation to 4A Madison Academy on the club team, the Mustangs concluded the 2024-25 season with a record of 31-4. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1222758"],"_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":1253519,"_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-683d39f9803ec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On a team like [program_tooltip program_id='713618' first='Macon' last='Mystics'] 2028 which is full of playmakers, it also needs an x-factor in case a few of them may have an off game. Williams' team earned a 15U semifinal victory over [program_tooltip program_id='713456' first='Porter' last='Sports'] 15U on Sunday to clinch a berth into that same day's championship contest. Her seven points made a massive difference. Williams stands at 5-foot-4. She can give a team worthwhile minutes either at the point or at the two and has no issues drawing contact to get to the free throw line. Her team last season was one of the 12 that qualified for the GIAA 4A state tournament. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
