PGH Expo: Team 1 Evaluations

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2025 Expo was packed with talent as 80 prospects hit the floor on September 27th. The event format featured four hours of nonstop action, with players rotating through organized 3v3 and 5v5 matchups. One of the key benefits of the showcase is the media exposure—coverage from our scouts has already drawn thousands of views on X, and our post-event writeups are read by hundreds more. Every athlete who participates is highlighted in these articles, which makes the Prep Girls Hoops showcases such a unique and valuable experience. Players also had the chance to compete in front of various college coaches throughout the day. My focus this time was on Teams 1, 2, 7, 9, and 10. Let's start with some standout moments from Team 1!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["994724"],"_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-68d87c08f210f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Allie put together a strong performance for Team 1 at the PGH Expo, showcasing her high energy and ability to impact the game in a variety of ways.
