PGH Triumph Region Kickoff: Young Playmakers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article, we look at the players who were playmakers during the Triumph Region Kickoff. These players brought energy to the court and made plays to lead their team. Some made plays on the defensive end, some on the offensive end, and some just inspired their teams with effort and leadership. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hailey Conder / 2027 PG / South Central <img class="wp-image-634161" style="width: 150px" src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/20230407_200505.jpg" alt=""></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Conder was a bonafide standout in the 2027 class and one of the most competitive players in the building. The young guard did a lot of things well. She advances the ball up the court by pass or dribble and always looks to move the ball. She played on a team that stressed teamwork and had a very disciplined attack. Conder did a good job of running the show. She shot it well ( 4 threes in one of the games) drove it well, passed it well, and handled the ball well. With all of the positives, it was Conder's competitive nature that stood out the most. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kensleigh Tribble / 2027 PG / Rome Georgia / [program_tooltip program_id='713624' first='[program_tooltip program_id='713452' first='FBC' last='']' last='Dynasty Elite'] 2027 <img class="wp-image-634181" style="width: 150px" src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/20230407_210142.jpg" alt=""></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was impressive watching the young guard play and just the savvy that she played with. In the game I watched, her team was outmanned, but her skills shined through : Great passes, very good decision-making, and her ability to get to the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Grace Hunter / 2027 PG / Rome GA / [program_tooltip program_id='713624' first='[program_tooltip program_id='713452' first='FBC' last='']' last='Dynasty Elite'] 2027<img class="wp-image-634485" style="width: 150px" src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/20230407_210146-1.jpg" alt=""></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hunter's effort on the court was infectious and she gives it 100 percent on both sides of the court. She attacks the rim on offense and she does a good job of preventing her opponent from doing the same. If there is a loose ball around, you can bet that Hunter is close by. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Graycee Clark / 2027 PF / Notre Dame Academy / Louisville Jaguars 2027<img class="wp-image-634490" style="width: 150px" src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/20230407_200629.jpg" alt=""></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clark was a standout at the tournament and made some really good plays.
