<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Here is a closer look at the complete Team 3 roster and the impact each player made throughout the day at the #PGHFreshSophGA camp…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1302365,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/PGH-Aiyana-Murphy-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1302365" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Aiyana Murphy</strong> (5'2/PG/‘29/Grayson) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: ya_29_ya</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Aiyana is a small lead guard who made her presence felt on the defensive end of the floor. She is a really good on-ball defender who is disruptive and makes life hard for ball-handlers. She applies tremendous pressure, forcing ball handlers to turn the ball over. She impacts the game on both ends of the floor, as offensively, she does a really good job facilitating.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1302366,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/PGH-Imani-BUtler-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1302366" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1281342' first='Imani' last='Butler']</strong> (5'5/PG/‘29/Archer) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: mani.hoops5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Imani is a small lead guard who was at her best initiating the offense. She looked to get into the paint, collapse the defender, and make plays for teammates while the defense was in scramble mode. She is a downhill attacking guard who puts pressure on the rim but does not over-dribble and keeps the ball moving. She showcased her creativity from the bounce, displaying nice passing and set-up ability, as well as the ability to create her own offense when necessary.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1302368,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/PGH-LeAerea-McFarland-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1302368" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Le'Aerea McFarland</strong> (5'6/PG/‘29/Marietta) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: lee_lee2029</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: LeeLeeMcFarly</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Le'Aerea is a small guard who can really score it from the perimeter. She shoots the ball well from three as she has a really good form. She showed a two-way impact throughout the day as well as made hustle plays on both ends of the floor. She is an energetic defender and was just solid on both ends of the floor. I would have loved to see her be more assertive in her offense, as she has some tools to work with.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1302369,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/PGH-Kenyanna-Jackson-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1302369" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Kenyanna Jackson</strong> (5'8/SG/‘29/Commerce) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Keyanna is a small guard who stood out most with her ability to rebound her position, as she was one of the better rebounding guards in the freshman division. Offensively, she showed her ability to push in transition and the ability to make the right reads. Defensively, she was instinctive and played the passing lanes really well. Her quickness was also an asset, helping her to make plays on both ends of the floor.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1302370,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/Talley-Schuver.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1302370" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1276636' first='Talley' last='Schuver']</strong> (5'5/PG/‘29/Pope) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: talleyschuver</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @talleyschuver</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Tally is a small guard who was very aggressive off the bounce and proved to be a difficult cover for defenders. She is a heady lead guard who can create offense off the bounce for herself as well as her teammates. She has a nice hesi move that freezes defenders and gives her an advantage that she immediately takes advantage of. Her basketball IQ and feel for the game were very impressive as she knew what to do on the court the majority of the time. She understands spacing, cuts effectively, makes hustle plays, and balances scoring and facilitating. I like the potential that I saw in her game.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1304414,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/Marya-Trotman.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1304414" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1280097' first='Marya' last='Trotman']</strong> (5'6/PG/‘29/Marist) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: marya_t29</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @marya_trotman</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Marya is a lead guard who constantly puts pressure on the rim and was getting paint touches. She kept defenders on their heels and struggling to adjust, which allowed her to draw fouls throughout the day and get trips to the line. She is cerebral, plays with precision, and makes plays for her teammates. As a floor general, she is a player who her coaches will be able to trust with the keys to the squad. She has a budding floor game and was constantly in attack mode.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1302374,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/PGH-Melanie-Parris-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1302374" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1227088' first='Melanie' last='Parris']</strong> (5'9/SF/‘29/Holy Innocents) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: mel.parris2029</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Melanie is a wing with some length who made some heady plays throughout the day, particularly with her ability to pass. She was one of the few who made kick-ahead passes when she was out in transition. She clearly understood that the ball got up the court quicker by the pass than the dribble. She needs to continue honing her skills and become more confident when handling against pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
