More PGH Midwest Melee 15U Standouts

Teams consisting of players from Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, Arkansas, and Kansas gathered for a two day Prep Girls Hoops Legacy Circuit stop at Hy-Vee Arena in Kansas City, Missouri. As each day progressed players were identified as top performers for their teams in games. I joined other scouts to cover day 1 while my colleagues picked up some views on day 2. Below is a list more 15U standouts with some brief notes. All are 2025s [caption id="attachment_431782" align="alignleft" width="145"]<img class="wp-image-431782" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/05/Amari-Hamer-Rebel-Elite-2025-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="145" height="145" /> Broken Arrow 2025 Amari Hamer.

Unless someone gets their whole body in front of her she’s going to run through the defense."</span> <strong>Keira Ho</strong>, 5’7", SF, Olathe South (KS), Kansas Elite DDI - While she has a tendency to put the ball on the floor longer than she should, she does a good job of creating off the dribble in the mid-range area and can split defenders. <strong>Anna Minor</strong>, 5’10", F, Lees Summit (MO), Kansas Elite DDI - At an event where few players laid wood on opponents when the ball was in the air, Minor was among the few who boxed well on both ends.  She also showed she is a a solid post defender.

She’s initiated offense, attacked off the dribble and defended on the block."</span> <strong>Lynzie Overstreet</strong>, 5’4", G, Will Rogers (OK), Rebel Elite 2025 - <span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Brady Peterson said Overstreet "...has been in the right place all the time. She’s constantly been finding open pockets of space to exploit and she’s earned some on-ball turnovers."</span> [caption id="attachment_431791" align="alignright" width="145"]<img class="wp-image-431791" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/05/Lynzie-Overstreet-Rebel-Elite-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="145" height="145" /> Will Rogers 2025 Lynzie Overstreet.
