PGH Peach Games – Day 1 Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first day of the three-day Peach Games event may have been of the abbreviated variety but it was no less competitive.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Three high schools west of downtown Atlanta – Lithia Springs HS, Alexander HS and New Manchester HS were all utilized for the festivities. Three other Prep Girls Hoops Circuit events were taking place across the country as Wisconsin, Ohio and Texas also played host to said get-togethers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For those that were first on the three-day card, several wasted no times displaying that they had their balling shoes on for the weekend in metro-Atlanta.

Have balling shoes will travel was the motto of the day for Young as she led her team with 16 points as her team was one of the first of the abbreviated Friday to get into the win column at Peach Games. Young can be effective with the 3-pointer and puts herself in position to corral rebounds. She can turn defense into offense – particularly in transition where steals can become 2-point layups on the other end of the floor.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6455ed18ed2ca"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["349374"],"_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":650690,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eJackson was in action from the start of her team's game with Queens of Basketball until the conclusion as Peach Games got underway. She finished with 10 points in a victory over the Atlanta-based team. Jackson was scoring points early and often for her team as she established herself as the force she can be in the interior. Jackson's ability to track down loose balls is a reflection of her agility alongside her scoring capabilities. She also does not shy away from contact being a 5-foot-11 big as that will give her plenty of chances to increase her team's point output from the free throw line.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6455ed18ed369"} /--> <!-- 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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Ar'Nayshia Griffin","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bradford","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Tremann Elite 2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eGriffin is the tallest of the Tremann Elite 2025 players as its roster has her listed at an even six feet. She was one element of what was an offensive clinic the Florida-based team put together as they matched up against Queens of Basketball from the Atlanta area. She particularly made her presence known in the second half of play which is when she did the bulk of her scoring damage. Defensively, she can display how effective she is particularly when helping out on double teams.

She tallied a total of eight points en route to a 70-49 victory for her Sunshine State-based travel team in their opening contest of this year's Peach Games. Tremann Elite 2025 unleashed a barrage of treys that were key in the win they got over Queens of Basketball and McCoy was part of that shooting effort from deep.

Roberts paced her team with a 19-point effort as she individually got her weekend started on the right pair of sneakers. Roberts displayed what she can get accomplished on both offense and defense as she proved herself to be an effective shot blocker. Roberts may stand at 5-foot-11 but she displayed her offensive versatility with her willingness to try her hand from deep.

While Snelling understands how to attack the rim, she also is aware that many of those opportunities can lead to her drawing contact and getting to the free throw line.

Benton also had a double-digit performance as she too finished with 11 points in what was otherwise a tough evening at the office for the Atlanta-area team. Benton plays with a fearless attitude when attacking the rim and that tenacity often leads to her finishing strong at the cup. A midrange jump shot is also part of her overall offensive repertoire. Benton is listed at 5-foot-5 on the Queens of Basketball roster. Helping on double teams as a defender adds to her complete game.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6455ed18ed690"} /--> <!-- 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":650699,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"London Smith","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Liberty MS","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"TKO United 2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eSmith has already been heralded as one of the premier youngsters in all of girls basketball in Georgia. She certainly looked like it on the first day of Peach Games as Smith tallied 16 points en route to a 64-46 victory for TKO United over Carolina All-Stars 2025. Smith is one who absorbs plenty of contact as often as she has the ball in her hands. Smith sees plays well and it allows her teammates to efficiently finish plays.

Her TKO United 2026 team earned a 64-46 win over North Carolina-based Carolina All-Stars and she finished with a total of 21 points which led all scorers for that contest. She too has an ability to draw contact and take her chances at the free throw line and often finds herself at the right places at the right times throughout the course of a game.

Even through her Carolina All-Stars 2025 squad did not come away with the result it was looking for against Georgia-based TKO United, Zimmerman still had herself a noteworthy game with a 12-point outing. Zimmerman can score from virtually anywhere on the court – including from deep where she connected on a couple of her attempts from behind the arc. She can turn offensive rebounds into putbacks, will be ready to box out in case of an opposing team's free throw miss, helps out on double teams and will block shots as a defender.
