2027 Performances
The Super 60 Showcase was a HUGE success this year. We had over 50 players register, college coaches in the building to observe some of the state’s top talent, and local and national media to help give the kids exposure. If you didn’t register I hate that you missed out. This year’s event was heavy with players from the 2027 class. Let’s take a look at 5 freshman players that caught my eye.
Ava Fowlkes | Point Guard | Maumelle High School | 2027
Ava possesses an impressive skill set and has the potential to make a significant impact in the 5A conference. Standing at a solid 5'8", she holds a size advantage at the point position, enabling her to see over her defender and execute precise passes to her teammates. Ava has a nice handle on the ball that gives her the ability to drive to the rim and make sound decisions in transition. Additionally, her consistent efforts have led to enhancements in her shooting, resulting in a respectable jumper that continues to progress.
Ava Basiliere | Post/Forward | Nashville High School | 2027
Ava left a lasting impression with her prowess in rebounding and low post defense. Standing at approximately 6'0", she demonstrates a keen understanding of utilizing her height to influence shots in the paint and secure advantageous positioning for rebounds. Ava's finesse is evident in her ability to finish over defenders and power through contact with a soft touch. She also exhibits the skill to push the ball effectively in transition, adding versatility to her game.
Allie Vaughn | Guard | Springdale High School | 2027
I always find great enjoyment in watching Allie play. Every time she takes the court, she consistently embodies the same qualities—she plays with determination, makes good decisions, and lets the game come to her by not trying to do too much. Her defensive intensity is remarkable as she effectively pressures the ball handler, forcing them to play at a pace they find uncomfortable. On the offensive end, she displays versatility by adeptly playing both with and without the ball.
Brooklyn Holt | Guard | Scranton High School | 2027
I truly appreciate watching players with a strong understanding of the game and a high basketball IQ. It's truly refreshing to witness individuals play the game in a fundamentally sound manner. Brooklyn particularly stands out for her excellent off-ball movement, her ability to read and react to the defense, and her skill in handling the ball under pressure. Her feel for the game is evident and makes her a joy to watch. As she continues to develop, she is sure to provide much value at the high school level.
Ke’Asia Pearson | Forward | Nevada High School | 2027
I've had the pleasure of watching Ke'Asia play multiple times, and it's evident that her development and confidence have been steadily improving. She displays versatility, excelling both in the post with her physicality and on the perimeter with finesse. Ke'Asia's size and strength enable her to finish effectively around the basket, even in the midst of heavy traffic or contact. I eagerly anticipate witnessing her continued growth and foresee her evolving into a significant contributor at the high school level.
Jacey Halitzka | Point Guard | Bergman High School | 2027
Wherever Jacey steps onto the court, you can be assured she will stand out as one of the best shooters. Her proficiency in catching and shooting threes, showcasing impressive range, as well as creating space with her hard-to-guard step-back move, places her among the top in her class. Her patented step-back, especially to the right, is executed with such ease, making it a challenge for defenders to counter. Jacey’s ability to seamlessly integrate changes in speed and direction makes her a force when attacking the lane. It's worth mentioning that her playmaking abilities have been on the rise, clearly demonstrated by her ability to deliver precise and on-target passes to her teammates.
The 2027 class did very well at the showcase. Here are more players that held their own.
Chezney Stone | Guard | Conway Christian | 2027
Solid point guard with the potential to continue to get better.
Elliot Owen | Guard | Mountainburg High School | 2027
A confident guard who can attack off the bounce and get to the rim.
Joshlynn Brown | Point Guard | County Line High School | 2027
Good all-around skill set with a big upside.
Kaylee Jones | Wing | White Hall High School | 2027
Kaylee consistently demonstrated great effort and displayed a commendable understanding of the game.
Scarlett Sinor | Guard | Lamar High School | 2027
Plays hard on both ends. Understands how to move without the ball and when to attack off the dribble.
Nicole Jones | Point Guard | Ruth Doyle Middle School | 2029
A skilled point guard who held her own. Lots of potential.
