Guards who stood out:
• Madison Cecil (5’3” / G 2020 / Highland): Madison Cecil has some solid athleticism at the guard spot, which thoroughly lets her excel at her position. The junior has good court vision, showing the ability to work the defense. Look ahead passes, dribble-drive kick outs are the name of the game for the Highland guard. With solid speed, Cecil has the ability to go to the hoop when she wants basically. Will be interested to watch Cecil’s game some more this season.
• Akira Lacey (5’5” / G 2019/ Patriot Prep): The senior guard showed some scoring ability from the lead guard position in a game of hers I watched. Creating her own shot off the dribble, being able to pull up. A quick guard, which benefits her work on defense as well, able to force turnovers by hounding the ball handler.
• Emma Roseberry ( 5’2” / G 2022 / River Valley): Emma Roseberry was a solid ball handler for her team, that was able to get in the lane and kick it out when the spot up was there. A scrappy defender always going after the ball. Also, undersized, but that doesn’t stop her from fighting for rebounds.
• Grace Forrest (5’7” / G 2021 / Mechanicsburg): Forrest was a primary ball handler, and showed good instincts in game situations. Keeping her head up, looking to push the defense. The sophomore has lookahead vision, that stretches the defense. Can make the cross court pass or a feed inside without a problem while being harassed. Forrest was one of the better pass first guards I seen on the day.
• Justice Steinman-Ross (5’6” / G 2022 / Marion Harding): The Harding freshman is young but has the ability to play on or off the ball. Slashing ability to keep the defense working, a lot of Ross’s buckets should come inside. Moves well without the ball on offense, which leads to buckets for her team even if it wasn’t her.
