Kate Harpring earned Player of the Game in her first Overtime Select game with 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals.
ATLANTA – The inaugural night of the Overtime Select League was every bit as good as anticipated. The OTE facility located off 16th Street was filled with some of the nation’s premier prospects as well as WNBA starter Erica Wheeler. Here’s a look at several of the standouts:
Banks feel for the game jumps right off the page. Banks has been a fixture on our Watch List for a year and rightfully so. She posted a triple double with 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Banks did that on an ultra efficient 9-for-14 from the field.
The nation’s No. 1 ranked player, Chavez is taking a victory lap after showing out all summer as a member of Cy Fair. In front of a standing room only crowd, Chavez dropped 27 points and 6 rebounds. That included a barrage of six 3-pointers.
Crump is one of the more versatile players in the country. She does what she does and rarely gets out of her wheelhouse in doing so. Serving as an elite specialist at the college level will unlock another layer to her game. The future Texas Longhorn finished with 11 points and 5 rebounds.

Edwards size and physical package continues to be a separator at the high school level. There’s no reason to think that won’t carry over to college. She finished 7-12 on the night with 15 points and 9 rebounds.

Harpring’s rise to the upper echelon of the rising junior class is something to witness. She was on one yet again here finishing with 22 points and 5 rebounds on 9-14 from the field. Harpring had an astounding plus-minus ratio of plus-29. She’s played her way into the top 5 discussion nationally.
Like Harpring, Lockhart has continued to play her way up the proverbial ladder over the last two years. She put on again last night finishing with a double double of 15 points and 10 rebounds. Lockhart’s impact on the game showed up in the plus / minus ratio as well as she finished with a plus 24 ratio.
Shaw had a strong club season anchoring the Mokan Elite EYCL club in the process. We’ve been on the floor with Shaw on multiple occasions and gotten to see her progress firsthand. She had 9 points and 5 rebounds as her team rolled to a 95-79 victory.
