Continue ReadingThe May Live Period is in full effect all over the country over the course of this weekend. In Council Bluffs, we have teams from all over playing against each other at the beautiful Iowa West Field House. Here are some of the top players I saw on Saturday at PGH Live:
Grace Frazier | Missouri Legacy | 2024
Grace was the most exciting player I saw in the gym on Saturday. She’s crafty with the rock and has some jelly with her creative finishes amongst the trees inside. She is a high motor guard that defends well and can hit it from deep. My favorite part of her game is her communication, though. She’s a vocal leader on the floor with positive reinforcement and telling her teammates who she’s guarding, where a screen in coming from, and everything else inbetween.
Ellie Muller | Beyond Ball | 2026
Ellie is a tall, long post player who has tremendous upside as a rising Freshman. She runs the floor well, finishes at the rim with both hands, has tremendous footwork for her age, and uses her body to get position. On defense, she uses her length and good timing to block shots and control the boards. Her post moves are impressive and she can also step out and hit it from 15 feet plus.
Hazley Grotjohn Hazley Grotjohn 5'6" | PG Seneca | 2025 State MO | Missouri Legacy | 2025
Hazley is another player in this Missouri Legacy program that is really fun to watch. She was the most intense defender I saw with her active hands and ability to pick anyone’s pocket. Her ability to penetrate opened up a lot for her teammates and herself and she could score it from anywhere or find the weakness in the defense for an easy assist. She has a really nice spin move on offense and, on defense, she’s not afraid to sacrifice her body for a charge or a loose ball.
Vana Bilic | Beyond Ball | 2026
In the game I saw, Vana finished on at least three And One’s. She’s strong and smooth with the rock and she sees the floor very well. Her mid-range game and shot is top tier for that 2026 class. She really excelled in the transition game by pushing the tempo and got to the basket as good as anyone in the gym.
Addalyn Rooney | Omaha Supreme | 2025
Addalyn hit a handful of runner’s in the game I watched. She shot it well from deep and got her teammates involved when she ran the offense. She’s a high energy floor general that makes the tough play and is everywhere the ball is. Addalyn is an impressive athlete that makes every player on her team look better.
Kylie Scott Kylie Scott 6'3" | PF Carl Junction | 2024 State MO | Missouri Legacy | 2024
Kylie started a little slow, but she really picked it up after a few big rejections. Her footwork was the best I saw, and she has some really strong post moves that are tough to defend. She can hit it from outside, and she hit a sky hook from about 10 feet with her opposite (left) hand which was the most impressive shot I saw on Saturday.
Nellie Johnson | Beyond Ball | 2026
Nellie is another intriguing 2026 I watched from Iowa. She’s smooth with the rock and can use both hands with ease while dribbling. Her handles are good which allows her to get to the rim or hit a tough step-back from deep. On defense, she had active hands that bugged the opponent’s PG.
