Monumental Madness Attracts Multiple States

Five courts of action at the Park School of Baltimore with teams converging from five states to compete in front of PGH scouts and to test themselves against other top teams. This event is the perfect tune up to lead into May. It was well organized and games stayed on schedule. The matchups were good as most games were competitive and PGH staff members were roaming the sidelines to get a lock on all of the action. Here are some day one standouts that caught our eye.    Stella made the trip to Baltimore with the [program_tooltip program_id='714646' first='New' last='Jersey Panthers'] Blue and made the most out of her day one. It was clear that she had talent from the start. She used her teammates well to assist her in finishing pick and rolls. She also showed she can do it solo using an assortment of step-backs and in-and-out moves into her shot while finishing with contact. She moves fluidly up and down the court and plays with a high IQ.     Zanahia had some strong powerful drives showing that she can attack, get to the rim and finish with contact. She played hard on both ends never letting up or taking plays off. Defensively she was disciplined and stayed engaged looking for opportunities to be disruptive getting her hand in the passing lanes.     Lanie impressed showing she was one of the top shooters in the building. She used the glass to bank in shots and calmly knocked down the buzzer beater three to end the half. She shot the ball well from both the mid range and the three. She showed good touch around the basket and was great on defense.     Zianna was solid in the inside clogging the lane and making things difficult for the opponent to get anything going in the paint. She used her frame to get low position to catch and finish in the post and showed she was a really good finisher when she got to her spot. She showed some ability to drive from the perimeter which seems like she will be able to add that element to her game.     Juliet finished well, she was very active without the ball cutting the lane to get open for scores. She showed good hands with the ability to convert tough bad passes. She shot the three well from various spots showing her versatility to play both outside and in. She wore a knee brace most likely from a previous injury, however, the way she moved around the court it was obvious that she has fully recovered.
