PGH Peach Games: 15U Honorable Mentions

A number of the premier teams and prospects across the region called metro-Atlanta home this past weekend as it once again served as the site for this year's Peach Games.    It featured a larger field than previous years and more venues were utilized across the area. It was one of five Prep Girls Hoops Circuit events that took place across the country in addition to events in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Texas.    We recently unveiled those we figured were worthy of First Team and Second Team recognition among the highly competitive 15U field. We shift our post-Peach Games coverage to those 15U names we considered worthy of being honorable mentions.     Dawsey is the lone representative from 7A Dothan on the ABM Elite 15U roster and was part of a Wolves team that concluded its 2025-26 season with a 22-7 record. She also played a significant part in ensuring ABM Elite 15U returned to the Yellowhammer State having gone four for four in Peach Games contests. A formidable force in the frontcourt, Dawsey's game includes plenty of speed and quickness as well as a great deal of toughness. She is certainly effective in the low post but has midrange and long range jumpers as part of her offensive repertoire and approaches the game with a heads-up attitude at all times. Dawsey was one of three freshman on last season's Wolves team.     The Tigers of 3A Troup County are well-represented on the [program_tooltip program_id='715436' first='Grind' last='To Shine (GTS) Basketball'] 15U roster. Brewer was a major factor in her team concluding its Peach Games weekend with a 4-0 record. On both ends of the floor, Brewer understands the importance of keeping one's eye on the ball and also thrives as a transition playmaker. She can give any team worthwhile minutes not only as a point guard but also as a shooting guard. Brewer is coming off of a 2025-26 freshman season with Troup County where she played in 27 games for a Tigers assembling that put together a 22-7 season.     Peanut made plays for Peachtree City Select 15U all Peach Games weekend. The standout freshman ensured her team would have a successful time in Marietta as Peachtree City Select 15U would go 3-1 this past weekend. As a combo guard, one has to game plan for if Sowell is in an offensive set as either a two guard or if she is playing point. Sowell fuses together talent with toughness and that combination will continue to display itself as her career continues to blossom. The young standout from 2A Pike County is a multi-sport athlete who has also played flag football as a defensive back and wide receiver throughout her athletic career. Sowell played in 15 contests last season with the Pirates and averaged 9.4 points and 2.7 steals per contest.     [program_tooltip program_id='713173' first='Wood' last='Elite'] is a program that always makes its presence known at any showcase it shows up to. The two [program_tooltip program_id='713173' first='Wood' last='Elite'] teams that were part of the 15U division at Peach Games concluded their weekend with a combined record of 5-3. Junco was one of the standout playmakers sporting a [program_tooltip program_id='713173' first='Wood' last='Elite'] uniform. One of Junco's signature contests occurred on Sunday as [program_tooltip program_id='713173' first='Wood' last='Elite'] 15U E40 matched up against Her Elite 15U EYBL. Junco's team may have been on the losing side of a 49-44 decision, but Junco put together a signature performance with 19 points – including five 3-pointers. Junco played up in class as a 2030.     Shortly following the conclusion of the 2025 grassroots season, Beasley announced that she had received a Division I offer from Florida State. Her play from this past weekend's Peach Games is indicative of a prospect who will continue to receive a bevy of collegiate looks. Her Elite 15U EYBL concluded its weekend with a 3-1 record and was a two-point loss against [program_tooltip program_id='713456' first='Porter' last='Sports'] 15U shy of running the table for this year's Peach Games. One of Beasley's signature games occurred against [program_tooltip program_id='713173' first='Wood' last='Elite'] 15U E40. It resulted in a 49-44 victory for Her Elite 15U EYBL and Beasley led the way with 14 points.     Bradley is a familiar name to the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit. She put forth stellar performances at the end of March at the Southeast Kickoff and continued her solid travel campaign at Peach Games. Team Hickory Basketball Club 15U's weekend in Georgia got off to a rocky start with a 23-point defeat to [program_tooltip program_id='713406' first='Lady' last='Playmakers'] 15U. Bradley ensured her team would bounce back by reeling off three wins to head back to the Hoop State with a 3-1 weekend. A multi-sport athlete who also plays tennis, her solid play is a continuation of the breakout freshman season she had with 4A East Burke where she averaged 14.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game.     Ford was one of the more consistent playmakers throughout the weekend in metro-Atlanta. She was one of two eighth graders that earned roster spots with First Presbyterian Day this past season and was part of a Vikings team that concluded its 2025-26 season with a 17-12 record. One Step Away Select 2030 was another team whose Peach Games weekend began inauspiciously as it suffered a close defeat to [program_tooltip program_id='715436' first='Grind' last='To Shine (GTS) Basketball'] 15U. Three wins later and Ford led One Step Away Select 2030 to a successful weekend. Among Ford's many positive hoops attributes include knowing when to score and when to pass, handling the ball with either hand, turning defense into offense and willing to fall to the floor to complete a play.     Myers' travel career includes stints with ODS and Alabama Scorpions. She has brought her many talents to [program_tooltip program_id='1808859' first='Alabama' last='Dream'] 15U which departed from Georgia having gone 3-1 for its Peach Games weekend. The first weekend in May represented the fourth Prep Girls Hoops Circuit event she and her [program_tooltip program_id='1808859' first='Alabama' last='Dream'] 15U assembling has been part of as they also made stops at the Southeast Kickoff in North Carolina, The Shootout in Nashville and the Roll Tide Rumble in Alabama. Myers' gives representation on the [program_tooltip program_id='1808859' first='Alabama' last='Dream'] 15U roster to Hazel Green which won this past season's 6A state championship.     Berry is a multi-sport athlete who also competes in track and cross country in addition to what she gets accomplished on the basketball court. She actually competes part of her travel schedule on the Adidas circuit with MBJ Elite but proudly wore the Lola Bunnie's Basketball Club 15U throughout her Peach Games weekend. Her team finished 3-1 this past weekend and the lone loss was in overtime to ABM Elite 15U. She consistently put up crooked numbers on the scoreboard as an effective 3-point shooter and got herself in position to corral rebounds. Creating additional offensive possessions with her defense is another plus to Berry's game. The rising standout from Jordan Christian Prep appears to be just getting started.     During a weekend when her home state was in Derby mode, Handley was off to the races throughout her multi-day stay in Georgia. The 5-foot-3 standout from Elizabethtown can operate in a team's lineup as either a point guard or at the two. Handley possesses the 3-point accuracy of a two guard, can create additional offensive possessions with her impressive defense and attacks the rim with lots of fearlessness and ferocity. Handley was one of five freshmen on this past season's Panthers team. One can say Handley set a “golden tempo” for her team throughout Kentucky Elite 15U's Peach Games weekend.
