Day 1 Standouts From The Challenge

<p style="text-align: left;">Select Events has been offering up some solid bump throughout the summer and they kept that up on Labor Day weekend with another event at Spooky Nook in Manheim, Pennsylvania. Teams played four games over three days and I was able to catch some action on the first day.</p> <strong>Peyton Pinkney, Western PA Bruins, 2021 (Eastern Michigan)</strong> Peyton has good size and is a solidly built 5'11" banger. She used her size well to create space and get easy buckets in the paint while displaying some nice footwork. She was a presence on defense and on the glass as well. She has committed to Eastern Michigan University. <strong>Lizzy Groetsch, Western PA Bruins, 2021 ( Penn)</strong> Lizzy was fun to watch as she mostly ran the point and kept her team composed. She is quick and has a good handle and almost never picks up her dribble. She did most of her damage by driving into the paint and scoring or dishing off after breaking the defense down. She made enough shots from outside the paint to keep the defense honest and just brought a lot of energy and hustle to the game. She has committed to the University of Pennsylvania. &nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="134751" first="Rylie" last="Theuerkauf"], Exodus, 2023</strong> Rylie was nearly unstoppable as she scored from all over the court. She's a big guard but has deceptive speed and a good, explosive first step. She played with great pace and picked up some easy points by simply out running the defense and moving without the ball. &nbsp; <strong>Dally Moreno, Exodus, 2023</strong> Ms. Moreno caught my eye in warm ups as she is physically imposing and looks the part. She did not disappoint as I watched her play. She looks comfortable playing multiple positions as she can handle the ball and defend bigs and guards. She showed off a nice touch around the hoop and knocked down some shots on the perimeter. Big time prospect. &nbsp; <strong>Farrah White, Power Move, 2023</strong> Farrah had a very good day running the point and setting her teammates up. She made a number of really good passes and racked up some nice assist numbers on the day. On defense she was a problem on the ball generating pressure and she came up with several clean strips. She was very active in the press with several deflections in the passing lanes as well. A strong overall day for Farrah. &nbsp; <strong>Electra Allembert, Power Move, 2021</strong> Electra has been having a strong summer and she continued that over the weekend. At 6'2" she is long and really strong on the glass. She grabbed 12 boards in the game I saw and was a presence in the paint all game. She is blocking and altering shots more often and on offense she is more confident in her outside shot. Her work on the offense boards led to quite a few opportunities at the foul line.
