Peak Performance shows explosiveness at #PTSNBC

I ran into an official I've known for over ten years at Prime Time Nationals on bracket play Saturday and while taking to him during timeouts, he mentioned how Peak Performance's Croix Bethune's ball-handling reminded him of my daughters around the same age and I agreed. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words, a moving picture or whatever this is says a whole lot more


Peak Performance came all the way from Georgia  and they came for a reason, to find new competition and compete and as added bonus, they're getting some pub and they deserve it. Bethune, Amari Robinson and Kemia Ward are all from the 2019 class these kids are going to create some problems in their class, well actually they're creating problems playing up on this 2018 team. Bethune truly handles the ball like a yo-yo, she see's the floor extremely well and can get anywhere she wants, the moving picture again comes in handy.

Ward and Robinson control the inside and both can not only finish strong but put it on the floor cost to coast, They're long and athletic and understand the simple things about basketball and before it's all said and done, there is no telling how high these two young ladies can go, I'm talking BCS. Both showed some incredible moves in the paint and the one that energized me for the rest of the day was when Robinson changed hands in mid air for a bucket, this isn't an average feet and I can tell she's done it before

Caitlin Felts is long and athletic as well, she can put it on the floor and knock down the mid-range and as an added bonus, she showed she could shot the three. She and Kennedy Cater round out the starting line-up, Cater also showed she could handle the ball and score multiple ways, not to mention anticipate and defend



Victoria Agyin just brings so much energy when she comes into the game and simply makes things happen. She's exciting to watch as she has a knack to be around the ball on both ends, plus she takes her man off the dribble at will. Nina Burwell rounds out the squad and she's a force to be reckoned with in the paint. She uses her body extremely well, is physical and more importantly can rebound and finish
