2016

Brianna Livingston (5’11”, G, SBA Crowns scout.com 15U, 3.5-stars)
Livingston put herself on the radar of several schools this weekend by showing off an athleticism that created several challenges for opponents. She proved tough to defend due to her length and speed. Her team benefitted from her running the point throughout the event as she did quite well setting up her team’s offence. But her bread and butter proved to be her getting to the basket in creative ways. The fact that she was able to do so against the competition she faced is a testament to the potential this player his in spades.

Mikaela Brewer (5’10”, F, Barrie 16U, 3.5-stars)
The stuff that Brewer was able to bring to the Deep South was pretty good. Her sheer quickness dictated her ability to often beat her man to a spot and allow her to do plenty of positive things on offence. When not with the ball, she could often be found in shooting position, knees bent, hands ready and calling for the ball from behind the 3-point arc. There, she’s ready to launch and demonstrated several times that she could knock that shot down. While on the other side of the ball I would like to see Brewer tighten up her ability keep defenders in front of her, she has a lot of upside and ability to put her athleticism to good use in that area.

Sarah Donovan (5’11”, W, Ramblers Prep 15U, 3.5-stars)
Sarah Donovan and her slender 6’0” frame was sure to pack competitiveness and it showed on several occasions throughout the Deep South. I was pleased to see Donovan quickly learning to hold her ground when the time comes, by getting to the position she established, then ensuring that whomever that wanted to displace her was in for a battle. Being able to incorporate that kind of fortitude in Grade 9 will do wonders for her when her frame fills out and adds some additional size in the remainder of her high school years.

2018

Summer Pahl (5’7″, KW Lightning 13U, 3-stars)
Any school’s long term planning will need to include the monitoring of the progress of Summer Pahl. Pahl has strength, a good ball I.Q. at her age and was the straw that stirred the KW Lightning’s drink in this tournament. She demonstrated good instincts, all of which was needed for knowing the right time to get to the hole and a knack for tracking those valuable rebounds. She appeared to have logged heavy minutes in the games I saw her play, which is a testament to her good fitness level.
