14U and 15U: Deep Range Beyond the Palms

With transition baskets at a premium and players attacking the rim like wind through the palm trees, defenses were often forced to collapse into the paint. When they did, these talented shooters made them pay. In this article, we recognize the prospects who knocked down threes off the dribble, excelled in catch-and-shoot situations, fired it up in transition, and a select few displayed range that seemed to extend well beyond the palms.      [player_tooltip player_id='1279711' first='Myla' last='Duber'] emerged as one of the top three-point shooters at Brawl at the Palms. The smooth-shooting guard poured in 21 points in one of the weekend's most memorable games. Threes came from the top, the elbows, and from the corners. They came off the catch and off the dribble. Another impressive part of Duber's performance is that the scoring came from various areas of the floor. The float game was as impressive as the threes from behind the palm trees. Duber played with great confidence, never hesitating to take big shots and consistently delivering daggers. She established herself as a player opponents must account for every time she steps on the floor.     [player_tooltip player_id='1188178' first='Callie' last='James'] was one of the most dynamic offensive players in the 14U at Brawl at the Palms, combining relentless rim pressure with an impressive perimeter game. She attacked the basket with purpose, using her quick first step, body control, and aggressiveness to get all the way to the rim and finish with floaters and layups. In transition, she was equally dangerous, grabbing rebounds and pushing the pace to create offense before defenses could get set. While her downhill attacks often grabbed the spotlight, James also knocked down the three-ball off the dribble and in transition. She was among the top three point shooters. Her motor, confidence, and ability to impact the game in multiple ways proved she was one of the most complete and difficult matchups in the division.     [player_tooltip player_id='1823315' first='Kynlee' last='Polk'] (cover photo) established herself as one of the most dangerous perimeter threats at Brawl at the Palms, showcasing deep range, confidence, and a flair for delivering in the biggest moments of the game. Polk knocked down the game-winner, but she also strung up multiple threes to erase a double-digit lead to set up that shot. The sharpshooting guard consistently stretched defenses with her ability to knock down shots from well beyond the three-point line, forcing opponents to pick her up far out. That range opens up defenses and gives her guards room to get to the rim. Polk proved she was the type of shooter capable of changing the momentum of a game with a single shot and one of the premier long-range specialists in the 14U division.     <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/DSC07452-2-1.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1861736" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1550031' first='Giada' last='Pecori'] knocked down five threes in one game and attempted to do the same in an earlier game. She may have had one or two three-pointers, but shot the ball with the same aggressiveness. Her willingness to hunt shots, combined with the confidence to take them in key moments, made her one of 15U's most aggressive spot-up shooters. Pecori embraced the role of being her team's top three-point weapon. Five three's in a game is no easy feat - it was one of the best single-game shooting performances in the building.     [player_tooltip player_id='1841712' first='Arhianna' last='Richardson'] shot the three-pointer very well, and her shooting came from the point guard position while running the show as the team's floor general. She shot it well in transition, and sometimes the ball rotated back to her or came from out of the post. Richardson didn't disappoint. Her three-point shooting was pure, and she shot it from all angles and deep behind the palms. Richardson also played solid defense and made the opposing point guard work hard. Her combination of point guard leadership, defensive pressure, and shot-making from deep made her one of the premier performers in the 15U Division.     [player_tooltip player_id='1355809' first='Brynlee' last='Fassett'] was part of the best 14U trio in the building - arguably one of the best combinations at the entire event. I was sitting next to a colleague, admiring the three-point shooting of James and Duber, when he turned to me and said you've got to see Fassett shoot the three ball as well. Write on cue, Fassett pulls up deep from beyond the palms and hits nothing but the bottom of the nets. Because of her height, her release point is naturally high, which allows her to get the three-ball off easily over shorter defenders. Fassett connected on several more shots from the perimeter, solidifying her as one of the top long-range threats in the 14U division.
