Continue ReadingThe Prime Event in Mansfield, TX last weekend really brought the heat and did not come close to disappointing. With the best teams from the Girls EYBL, Adidas 3SSB, and Under Armour circuits, along with the top independent programs from all over the country, this event was TOP NOTCH. The talent was undeniable on every court throughout the entire weekend. Below are some of the overall standouts from all of the age divisions.
2022 5’9″ #4 Lily Krahn (Wisconsin Flight 17u)
Lights out three-point shooter with good handles and a lot of hustle. As a Wisconsin commit, Lily gave it her all on both ends of the floor for her last tournament playing for the talented Wisconsin Flight program. She sees the court well and can compete in multiple positions throughout the whole game. Shoots the mid-range jumper and the three-ball with confidence but it is most impressive how well she can get herself open. She brought a lot of momentum towards the end of the final four matchup with a big-time block on defense. Refreshing and humble player to watch.
2023 5’8″ #14 Brandy Jones (Lady Jets 16u)
Jones is a SHOOTER that needs to have a lock-down defender on her at all times!! She could not miss from anywhere on the floor during the second half of a very competitive, back-and-forth game. Brandy brings the energy for her team whether she is in the game or on the bench and really makes sure that the momentum doesn’t die. Handles the ball well and can take on defenders one-on-one or coast-to-coast. She is skilled and shifty enough to see the open dish to the big man down low if they decide to send up extra help to her. This is a technically sound player that really knows the ends and outs of the game of basketball.
2024 5’8″ #4 Ashley Singhateh (Banshees Sadler 15u)
Ashley is one of my favorite players to watch each time I show up to the gym. She comes off the bench for her squad and really brings another level out when she steps onto the court. This high-energy player really knows her role on the team and that is to cause havoc. She really speeds up the game when on defense and forces the trap or turnover. In one of the games I watched, Singhateh had 3-4 tips to herself into the backcourt that resulted in lay-ups and a momentum boost for her team. There is no let-up in this kid.
2026 5’9″ #1 Amayah Garcia (Lady Jets 15u)
Immediate spark plug for her team when she is in the game! Amayah is a confident point guard that will drive through contact for the ‘and-1’ play with either hand. It was extremely impressive how she was able to get through the lane and finish successfully even when the lane was congested. Very quick off of the dribble and will 100% catch her defender off guard if she is not fully set and ready. She knows exactly how and when to get to the free-throw line but can also knock down the step-back mid-range jumper. High BCS potential!!
2026 5’11” #8 Kamora Pruitt (Lady Jets 15u)
Pruitt is the type of player that makes it hard to take your eyes off of when she is on the floor. She is a very long and athletic guard that has high Division 1 potential. Can drive hard with either hand and has the ability to finish at all three levels. She is aggressive when the ball is in her hands but also knows when to make to necessary pass. Kamora can guard multiple positions well forcing turnovers along the way. Being so young and still finding a way to be able to stand out above the rest is something that just has to come naturally, and for this youngster, I can confidently say that she’s got it.
