The game ended in a 43-39 victory for Grind To Shine (GTS) Basketball 15U with Kelly tallying 12 points. Kelly and her team would translate that momentum into three more victories – all but double-digit margins – throughout the course of the weekend. She is transitioning to rising sophomore status following a 2025-26 season with 3A Troup County where she played in 27 games for a Tigers team that finished 22-7 – its first-20 win campaign since 2019-20.

One of the more entertaining matchups of Peach Games Friday occurred at the Blue Devils’ home court between Grind To Shine (GTS) Basketball 15U and One Step Away Select 2030. Overtime was needed but 13 points from Kelly led her assembling to a 43-39 victory. When she attacks the rim, one has to watch out for if she will attempt a floater or if she will go directly at the basket. Even if there are a number of defenders waiting to halt Kelly in her tracks, she will still ferociously drive to the rim with fearlessness. Defensively, she can set up in the interior and has no problems drawing contact to get to the free throw line.
