Ohio Summer Showcase – 2025/2026 standouts

Our PGH Staff was at the Ohio Summer Showcase in full force on July 18th at the College of Wooster. We saw over 300 players compete in front of more than 60 college coaches. Here are some more of the 2025 and 2026 standouts from the day's action. <strong>Annaleise Norris - Class of 2025 - Mansfield Senior</strong> Norris has a rare blend of size and athleticism - making her a match-up nightmare for most kids who try to defend her. She is explosive off of the bounce and very good at finishing around the rim. She runs the floor well and has no problem scoring or creating in transition. Annaleise is at her best when she is active on the offensive glass. <strong>Kylie Geiser - Class of 2026 - Waynedale </strong> Geiser is a highly-skilled combo guard with good instincts and a great feel for the game. She has a quick release from 3 and doesn't need much room to get her shot off. Geiser is a nice passer who is always looking to make the right play with the ball in her hands. <strong>Kelsey Bittecuffer - Class of 2025 - CVCA</strong> Kelsey is a true lead guard who does a nice job of finishing with runners and floaters over bigger defenders. She can score at the rim with both hands on lay-ups after a quick first-step. Bittecuffer has great handles for a young point guard and is a more than willing passer when her teammates are open. She competes on defense and plays with a love of the game that is fun to see. <strong>Madison Singer (pictured above) - Class of 2025 - Smithville</strong> Singer should instantly help Smithville this year at the Varsity level. She is a long guard with good court vision and more poise than most kids her age. She has an athletic frame and should have no problem getting stronger as her HS career develops. Right now - she is best as a scorer off of the dribble. If she becomes more consistent from the perimeter, she will be tough to stop. <strong>Sydney Strouse - Class of 2025 - Loudonville</strong> Strouse is a sharpshooter with a very quick release. She showed a knack for 1 or 2-dribble pull-up jumpers, which is tough to find in kids that young. Sydney already has good range from 3 and is a more than adequate defender on the ball, where she gets a number of deflections and steals.
