PGH Peach Games: 15U Frontcourt Forces From Day Three

One of the busier weekends of the 2026 version of the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit took place during the first month of May with a total of five events taking place in a variety of different states.    Among that quintet of gatherings was the annual Peach Games which was larger than previously. Games were spread out over a number of three days and five venues across the western and northern suburbs of Atlanta were utilized.    Forwards and centers were instrumental in ensuring their teams would have successful final days of this year's Peach Games. We spotlight those frontcourt forces from the 15U realm here.     Crowley's freshman season with Hardaway was a banner one as the Hawks made a trip to Macon for this past season's 2A state championship against Murray County. She played in 30 games this past season as a Hawk and averaged 11.1 points, six rebounds and 1.4 steals per contest. She is very communicative on court and displays many of the leadership skills more commonly found in seniors and juniors. Crowley does the big things – and the little things – that will get a team in the win column such as diving for 50-50 balls. She does not shy away from contact that can place her at the free throw line and places as much emphasis on putting her teammates in position to make plays as she does actually making said plays.     Spry is a name that rings a bell for the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit. Team Hickory Basketball Club 15U was one of the teams to beat at the Southeast Kickoff in its home state in late March and Spry brought her balling shoes with her to this year's Peach Games. Spry is a multi-sport athlete who plays both basketball and tennis. Even though she primarily operates in the frontcourt, she can throw defenders off balance with the occasional 3-pointer. Spry competed in 25 contests this past season for a 4A East Burke assembling that concluded its 2025-26 season with a record of 21-8.     Berg is just now transitioning from eighth grade status into freshman life and has already secured an in-state offer from Mercer. That offer was made to this skilled big last year – a testament to what she's already accomplished and what is to come for her. [program_tooltip program_id='713456' first='Porter' last='Sports'] was one of the toughest outs among the 15U division this past weekend at Peach Games. Team Elite Hubbard 15U 3SSB found that out on Sunday afternoon when her team defeated its fellow Georgia combatants by a final tally of 38-18. Berg would score nine points in the victory – including eight in the first half.     White is one of several 2030s that played up in class this past weekend – a testament to how deep the talent pool is for [program_tooltip program_id='713456' first='Porter' last='Sports'] 15U. A rising name among the 2030 class, she played in 26 games this past season for a 7A Auburn team that concluded its 2025-26 campaign with a robust 24-4 record. White is a gifted rebounder and defender that can create additional possessions for her team with said defense and she can draw plenty of contact that can give her plenty of free throw opportunities. She averaged 6.8 boards, 6.4 points and 1.7 steals as the lone 2030 on this past season's Tigers team.     Richardson brings a fearless mentality with her to every game that she is involved in. She displays this by attacking the rim and going directly at defenders. Opposing teams have to be on the lookout for what she can get accomplished behind the 3-point line as she is very likely to attempt – and connect on – her 3-point tries, displaying how offensively versatile she can be. The contact she draws can also gives her a number of opportunities at the free throw line. Her team mostly had a rough weekend at this weekend's Peach Games but she managed to make winning plays from start to finish.     Vann was one of six freshmen on this past season's 6A Collins Hill assembling that concluded its 2025-26 season with a record of 20-7. Considering that Vann brings plenty of height to a team, she can find plenty of time in the frontcourt even though her high school team's roster has her listed as a guard. Even though [program_tooltip program_id='1250230' first='Winners' last='United'] 15U EYCL encountered a rough weekend at Peach Games, Vann was one of the team's bright spots. One can expect her profile to only increase as Collins Hill could be a contender for the next several years considering what that young team got accomplished last season.     One cannot coach height – and Copeland presents plenty of it and then some at an imposing 6-foot-3. That height can come in very useful in guarding the interior, but she is also offensively versatile with an ability to make things happen from behind the 3-point line. Such a stature can also be helpful when rebounding and when looking to win many battles on the boards. Such a stature can also make things difficult for opposing scorers that are looking to score. There are not too many eighth-grade teams that can say they have a post who is as taller or taller than many established high school bigs. But there are exceptions to the rule and [program_tooltip program_id='713173' first='Wood' last='Elite']'s eighth graders are one of them.     It is not how a team starts but how a team finishes. Mac-Barango managed to ensure [program_tooltip program_id='1250230' first='Winners' last='United'] 15U EYCL finished its Peach Games weekend with a flourish by virtue of a highly entertaining 76-70 victory over [program_tooltip program_id='713173' first='Wood' last='Elite']'s eighth grade team. She is tall to the point where one could think that she is a three or even a post player. Her primary position is the three, but she has offensive versatility as she can connect from behind the 3-point line. Her playmaking abilities are very effective and very consistent. Mac-Barango gives representation to 6A Grayson on this season's [program_tooltip program_id='1250230' first='Winners' last='United'] 15U EYCL team.     Ford is another familiar name to the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit. When we wrote about forces in the frontcourt from the first day of the Southeast Kickoff in North Carolina, Ford was among those notable names. Ford can give a team minutes in the frontcourt at the three but can also find time as a wing considering her prowess as a shooting guard. She gives representation to 6A Lee on this year's [program_tooltip program_id='1808859' first='Alabama' last='Dream'] 15U roster. Defensive playmaking is especially a strength of Ford's. Standing at 5-foot-9 can also give her a height advantage over many of her peer two guards when she has the ball behind the 3-point arc.     The Senators of 7A Sparkman are well-represented on this season's [program_tooltip program_id='1808859' first='Alabama' last='Dream'] 15U assembling. She stands at 5-foot-9 and primarily operates in the frontcourt at the four. Todd-McTyere's play proved to be another key in [program_tooltip program_id='1808859' first='Alabama' last='Dream'] 15U departing from metro-Atlanta having gone 3-1 during its Peach Games weekend. Todd was one of three freshmen on last season's Sparkman team that concluded its 2025-26 season with a record of 15-12. Among the strong points of her game are guarding the interior and doing the little things that lead to big wins – such as hustling for loose balls. She will also put herself in the right spots to corral many a rebound.
