A Look at Some Saturday Night Nike Nationals 17U EYBL Action

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri took some time to watch a couple of 17U EYBL games from Saturday night's Nike Tournament of Champions in Chicago. We watched the [program_tooltip program_id='712694' first='Missouri' last='Phenom'] vs. Miami Suns and MoKan Elite vs. Team Durant. Here are some observations on what we saw from prospects from Phenom and MoKan Elite.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1275216,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4477.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1275216" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='750683' first='Jordyn' last='Haywood'] (MO Phenom): The 6'1" 2028 guard from MICDS was dominant at both ends in leading Phenom to the win. She finished with 21 points, 11 rebounds, four steals and two blocked shots. She works well from the high post where she can attack off the bounce or hit the smooth jumper. Her instincts on defense were on full display as she made excellent rotations and she let her athleticism do the rest in the form of steals and blocks. She also hit the Corner 3-pointer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Macayla Askew (MoKan Elite): The 6'1" 2026 forward from Derby (KS) was tremendous with 19 points and 15 rebounds. Her motor was constantly running as she was chasing rebounds and getting out of her area. She is also an excellent passer who did a nice job feeding teammates from the interior. The ball doesn't stick in her hands. She was good at making herself available on her cuts to get layups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1275217,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4473_2f2131.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1275217" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='777605' first='Amaya' last='Manuel'] (MO Phenom): The 5'7" 2027 point guard from Lift for Life had 13 points and five assists in the victory over Miami. She had some creative finishes off the glass and she also knock down a trio of 3-pointers. She also threaded the needle through the lane for a couple of nice assists. She also showed her aggressiveness by grabbing six rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1220443,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/03/IMG_0979.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1220443" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='317343' first='Ava' last='Miles'] (MoKan Elite): The 6'0" 2026 guard from Staley showcased her all-purpose skills. She can facilitate as a point guard, go inside and rebound and impact the game defensively on a number of fronts with her motor. She was constantly in position to make plays to get steals and blocks and create general disruption. She also finished with eight points. The Nebraska commit brings value to the team in so many ways because of her versatility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image --> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img alt="" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Faith McCallop (MO Phenom): The 5'6" 2026 point guard from Piper (KS) is usually one of the smallest players on the court, but sure doesn't play like it. She had eight points and four assists, but she also grabbed five rebounds. She was going into a crowd of taller players and coming out of the scrum with the ball. That's just a testament to her tenacity. She is a good on-ball defender with her quickness and she did a good job of distributing the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":944795,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/07/IMG_6174.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-944795" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='855104' first='Antil' last='Snoddy'] (MoKan Elite): The 2026 point guard from Lee's Summit West had a productive game with 10 points and five assists. The smooth lefty can push tempo and attack the rim with her speed and quickness, but she could also pull up from 3-point range and sink the jumper. She was good at speeding the tempo or slowing things down and setting up the offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
