PGH Freshman Showcase: Team 3 Evaluations

The 2029 Freshman Showcase was loaded, with 93 prospects taking the court on August 30th, 2025. Our format included 4 hours of games split up into predetermined 3v3 and 5v5 matchups. Let's talk about media exposure. There have been thousands of views on X of coverage provided by our scouts during the event, and our written articles will be read by hundreds. Every participant will receive a write-up in our articles, which is something unique and special about the Prep Girls Hoops showcases. My coverage focused primarily on teams 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8. Here are a few highlights for each player from Team 3 below!    Alexa showed a high IQ on defense for Team 3 at the Freshman Showcase. She sprinted to help and maintained sight of the ball and her girl. Alexa showed her speed in transition after snagging a steal. She pushed the ball up the court, changing hands, and weaved right through defenders to the basket. Alexa worked hard to secure rebounds, threw accurate entry passes, and handled the ball confidently. She is going to be a great addition to the program at John Glenn.     Sydney is a guard with athletic quickness and a variety of skills. She used all of them to make an all-around impact on the court for Team 3 at the Freshman Showcase. Sydney was active in the passing lanes, creating steals on the defensive end. She snagged a defensive board and fired the ball up the court for an assist. Sydney drained an elbow jumper off the dribble and split defenders with a hard left-handed drive to score off two feet. Her passing vision, confident ball-handling, defensive effort, and playmaking skills will be fun to watch at Country Day this winter.     Lillian is a promising guard who looks ready to contribute for Stockbridge this winter. She battled inside to secure two offensive rebounds on the same possession and finished with a strong put-back. Lillian hustled to block a shot and scored another layup with a soft touch off the glass. She threw a perfect overhead lob entry pass for an assist and had a solid day for Team 3 at the Freshman Showcase.     Quinn was active and effective on both ends for Team 3 at the Freshman Showcase. Her combination of length and quick change of direction dribbles gave defenders fits. Quinn chased down rebounds, blocked shots, and drove to the basket with a burst. She earned many trips to the free-throw line and looks like a future star for Rockford.     Tayla has length and skills that are going to make her an exciting addition to the Haslett program. She swished a confident wing triple during 3v3 and made plays that helped the team succeed during 5v5. Tayla closed out hard to cause missed shots, used backdoor cuts to create space, and made extra passes to open teammates. Her positive energy on the court set an example, and she'll be a wing prospect to keep your eye on the next four years.     Taryn was one of the biggest stock-risers at the Freshman Showcase today--she was phenomenal for Team 3. She has length, strength, and a dynamic set of skills that will make her an effective high school forward, but her ceiling will be higher as a guard. Taryn ran the point, switching hands in transition, and driving to the rim at will. She lived at the free throw line and had many layups throughout the day. Taryn was aggressive and confident on the court. She muscled her way into position to secure rebounds, made the hustle plays, and worked hard defensively. An all-around outstanding day for Taryn--she's going to be a must-see prospect at Country Day.     Charlee had a very productive day for Team 3 at the Freshman Showcase. Charlee was a difference maker in the paint as a rebounder. She limited second-chance opportunities for the other team by securing boards on the defensive end and created extra scoring chances by pursuing offensive rebounds. Charlee caught a pass inside with soft hands and finished the layup off two feet. She works hard on the court and looks ready to be an immediate impact forward for Saugatuck this winter.     Alexis had great chemistry with Team 3 at the Freshman Showcase and was very impactful for them around the basket. Alexis sealed defenders and provided an excellent target for entry passes. She caught the ball with soft hands and finished two layups off two feet with her off-hand. Alexis demonstrated good passing instincts when her shot wasn't there, dishing dump-off passes to cutters and kickouts to open shooters for assists. Alexis battled for position to secure rebounds on both ends and is going to be an immediate impact player for Elk Rapids this winter.
