Speaking of multi-sport athletes, that distinction also applies to this gifted guard. Volleyball is her second sport of choice outside of basketball. Pelzer first played at the varsity level four seasons ago when she was an eighth grader. Bethune-Bowman has experienced plenty of success with Pelzer sporting the signature burgundy and gold hues of the Mohawks. Along with being a potent scorer, Pelzer also places plenty of emphasis on ball distribution and defense that can create additional offensive possessions for her team. Two years ago, Bethune-Bowman had a great regular season. Last year, the Mohawks won a playoff game (over Johnsonville). A complete season of Pelzer as a junior should put both together.

Pelzer is a quintessential freshman who plays as if she was an upperclassman. Her host Mohawks were locked in a tight contest with fellow 1A foe Hunter-Kinard-Tyler to begin Saturday’s MLK Showcase. With 13 points, she paved the way to Bethune-Bowman’s ninth victory of the season. Included in those 13 was displaying pinpoint accuracy from behind the arc. Her confidence in her long range shooting ability led to her draining three from downtown. Pelzer also places plenty of emphasis on taking care of the ball to limit turnovers and can keep opposing defenses guessing with her ferocious rim attacking abilities.
