This tournament is part of the Triumph Region which encompasses the Southeast as one of four regions in the PGH Circuit. The weekend featured a ton of talent in the 17U division. Here is who was selected by our scouts as the 17U First Team All-Tournament:
Emaya Lewis Emaya Lewis 6'3" | C Loganville | 2024 State GA – Team Huncho Nxt Gen – 2024
Emaya was one of the most skilled players at the Showdown, and she does it at 6’4 with a lot of length. The Sophomore runs the floor well, can hit the mid-range jumper, and is smooth as silk inside. She plays up a class, but still continues to shine as one of the best players regardless of age. Her D1 offer list will only continue to grow in the next two years with her shot blocking ability, too.
Ayana Boyd Ayana Boyd 5'7" | PG Lovejoy | 2023 State GA – Bounce Nation FBC – 2023
This lefty is about as smooth and as tough as they come. She’s shifty, can score it from anywhere, and is really creative when driving to the basket to create or finish. When she isn’t making plays on the offensive end, she’s causing turnovers on defense with her active hands, jumping the passing lanes, and showing a lot of energy and intensity on the ball.
Imari Berry Imari Berry 5'10" | SG Clarksville | 2024 State TN – Tennessee Sol – 2024
Imari is just different. She can just take over the game like only few can do at that level against high level competition. She’s listed at 5’10, but she plays so much bigger with her wingspan and her ability to elevate for a bucket or to block a shot. Imari can handle it, shoot it, and finish at the basket with the best. This Sophomore is a bonafide Power 5 hooper.
Destinee Barnes Destinee Barnes 6'0" | CG Winston Salem Christian National | 2023 State NC – ABC Lightning Performance – 2023
Destinee is a strong guard that made some tough finishes at the rim. She’s a matchup nightmare as she’s a threat to score from everywhere, but will also lock you up on the other end. She is a complete player who can elevate with the best of them. Inside, she finishes with both hands, but she can also hit it from deep as one of the most versatile players in Knoxville this weekend.
Erin Rodgers Erin Rodgers 6'1" | SF Grayson | 2024 State GA – Team Huncho Nxt Gen – 2024
Speaking of versatility, Erin fits that mold as a big guard who can put up points in a hurry from all three levels. She has good size and length with a smooth stroke from 15-feet and out. Erin attacks the glass with her frame that is already college ready. She’s going to be a really solid player at the next level with two more years left to develop.
The Triumph Region of the PGH Circuit will head to Atlanta for the Peach Games next weekend.
