I’m not sure anyone made a bigger impression on me at the GBCA Live event than Peyton Mann Peyton Mann 5'6" Saint Francis | 2028 GA . Saint Francis played the best competition there so I saw them for at least two games and she was the perfect partner with Giaunni Rogers Giaunni Rogers 5'9" | CG/SG State #87 Nation GA in the backcourt. The pair took turns creating for themselves, their other teammates, and each other with ease, high efficiency and productivity. Peyton was smooth running the show and punished defenses that gave her space to shoot from the perimeter knocking down multiple shots, both inside and outside the three point line, every game. Mann led St Francis in scoring in the championship game finishing with 17 points including three shots made from deep. Consistency was the key for her scoring as she was in double figures each game and averaged just over 11 points for the weekend. She was an excellent facilitator dishing out assists while rarely turning the ball over and leading her team to a perfect 4-0 record. The next event that we are both at, I will make time to find and watch her play again. That’s how highly I think of Peyton.

I really liked how Peyton played. The sophomore was scrappy on defense, a hard-playing guard that was quick to dive into plays. Mann hustled to rotate on defense for steals and blocks. She sank an early three and had success as a drive and kick facilitator. Peyton pitched in 4 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Mann is a high-upside stat sheet stuffer.

Mann gets to the rim and knows how to finish. Crashes the offensive and defensive boards hard. Energizer bunny that gets her teammates going. A player that can get downhill quickly.
