2029 Guard Invites to Freshman Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Freshman Showcase has been a Prep Girls Hoops staple for years. For many of these prospects, it's their first major showcase experience, and our mission is to make it memorable. Our showcase environment includes unprecedented media coverage, evaluations from our scouts, and an opportunity for these girls to prove they are top prospects in their class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In 2024, nearly 60 prospects attended, with&nbsp;<strong>Lucy Young</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/lucy-young-2/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;(Evan's MVP),&nbsp;<strong>Raquel Walker</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/raquel-walker/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;,&nbsp;<strong>Emersen Holder</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/emersen-holder/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;,&nbsp;<strong>Jayna Burmeister</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/jayna-burmeister/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;(Danyle's MVP),&nbsp;<strong>Paisley Stephens</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/paisley-stephens/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;, and&nbsp;<strong>Jana Honeycutt</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/jana-honeycutt/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;receiving All-Showcase First Team selections. Danyle and I collaborated to build a First Team, Second Team, Third Team, and All-Defensive Team. A unique feature of PGH Showcases is that EVERY prospect receives a post-event evaluation by our scouts and live coverage at our events.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This event puts you and your high school on our radar for the upcoming winter season. It's your chance to compete for a place in our Top 50 Watch List in September.

She's a difference maker on both ends of the court. Reese knocks down perimeter jumpers and uses excellent footwork to score around the rim. Her selfless style and smart instincts create scoring for teammates.

Katerina has length and can rip the nets with her three-point shooting. She makes quick decisions with the ball in her hands and can get downhill with a dribble burst to score layups. Katerina throws crisp passes to teammates and would be an exciting player to watch at the Freshman Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/02/s-e-winter-series-2029-shooting-guards-wings/">Read More About Katerina</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1254809"],"_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-689a2dafc9b4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Au'Bree had an impressive tourney for [program_tooltip program_id='962114' first='Lady' last='FVV'] at the [program_tooltip program_id='713074' first='Michigan' last='Cagers'] Invitational.
