Rising Stars In The 14U Division to Watch at Peach Games

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This weekend at the PGH Peach Games tournament in Marietta, Georgia, there were rising stars who shined bright in the 14U division. Players who not only led their teams in scoring but also did the little things when it mattered most. In this article, I broke down a few of the stars who brightened up this weekend's tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1823939"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1847286,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f7ae2557dca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The first player that comes to mind who shone bright Saturday evening is Her Elite's [player_tooltip player_id='1823939' first='Zara' last='Mopa']. She's a stretch forward who has a long, athletic build. Mopa not only can clean up around the rim and finish at the basket, but she also has the versatility to push the ball up the floor and get downhill or make the extra pass. She has high basketball IQ and knows how to use her length and athletic skill set to her advantage against any opponent. She's a name you don't want to forget in the 2030 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":1847295,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Janiya Turner","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Tennessee Knockout Elite","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f7ae2557e88"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Talk about a player who plays with a lot of grit and hustle. Janiya Turner is a name you don't want to overlook in the 2030 class. She's a highly skilled guard who loves using her speed to her advantage and getting to the basket. Turner knows how to get to her spots and is unselfish. Defensively, she has a high motor; she likes to face guard her opponents and play hard-nose defense. In high-intense situations on the floor, Turner is poised and has the leadership skills to settle her team down. On Saturday afternoon, she rallied her team back from a 15-point deficit and led the team with 22 points in a big win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":1847328,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Cheyenne Battle","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Now Elite ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f7ba67938b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Battle is an exciting player to watch. She knows how to get things done on both ends of the floor. She likes to push the ball and get downhill. Her court vision is undeniable. She can stretch the floor and is a skilled spot-up shooter and rebounder. Battle has a great size to her and can drive into the lane hard, absorbing contact with any opponent. When things are clicking on all cylinders, she can shift the dynamic of any game situation. She was a huge factor in their dominant win over AEBL 14U, finishing with 12 points Saturday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1249530"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f7ba6793974"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Snipes is a <em>sniper</em> on both ends of the floor. She's an aggressive guard who is an impact player for [program_tooltip program_id='713456' first='Porter' last='Sports']. Snipes likes to take what the defense gives her, and she's not afraid to drive into the lane and make a play. She's a dynamic and poised floor general. Not to mention, she's a key player for her program and the engine that keeps her team going. She's shifty and crafty with the rock.

A guard who knows how to get her team involved. She can handle the rock well, knows how to drain the trey ball when needed, and likes to attack the paint. Howell shines most in transition basketball — she knows how to put the jets on and finish at the other end. She's the heartbeat of this [program_tooltip program_id='715404' first='North' last='Metro Elite'] 14U program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
