<p class="text-gray-700">Pelton, a 6-2 incoming sophomore, for New Berlin West, has had a great summer for 24:UP. One of the more active players, that I have watched, Pelton is adept at using his athleticism and length to affect the game on both ends of the floor. Offensively, not only a phenomenal rebounder, Pelton has showed that he could fill it up, from everywhere on the court, consistently knocking down 15-22 foot jumpers when not taking it to the rack at will.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kelbel, a 6-0 guard, out of Altoona was a name that I had not heard off heading into the summer. Having watched some film, and seen his various stat lines, I can firmly saw that he is having a terrific summer for the [program_tooltip program_id='2076033' first='Wisconsin' last='Playmakers']. With a quick release, and a smooth stroke, Kelbel looks like every bit of the player that shot 45.5 % from distance last season. Watching his game further, his complete offensive arsenal stands out including his relentlessness in getting to the rim and finishing through contact while drawing a ton of fouls. Paired with two returning 20 point scorers, I could see Kelbel joining them as a "Big 3" to help the Railroaders over the hump this winter.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Phillips, a 6-1 guard from East Troy, is another 24:UP product that is making a name for himself this summer. Ranked as the #32 player, in the class of 2029, Phillips has been as unstoppable of a guard that I have watched utilizing a quick first step to put pressure on the defense while making good reads. Phillips, coming off of a strong freshman campaign, looks like he could be the X-Factor for the Trojans this season.</p>

Summer is more than halfway over and the grassroots season will be picking back up shortly. This week I will be wrapping up my series on players making a name for themselves this summer.
The 6-0 Winneconne product has burst on the scene, this summer, showing out at tournaments, in both Wisconsin and Minnesota, where Van Allen's athleticism, speed, and length have been on full display.
One of the more active defenders, that I have watched, Van Allen has caused nightmares for whomever he has guarded due to his length and anticipation. Offensively, he has also shown a complete game consistently knocking down mid to long-range jumpers and has been a force on the glass. As I have previously mentioned, I expect Van Allen to have a big role for the Winneconne this fall.
