A quick drop step in the opposite direction yielded an easy basket.  She showed the ability to create space inside against other talented bigs, including to catch a lob pass for a lay-in.  Wiltsie is physical and has good transition speed.  As she improves against other bigs with ball skills to get to the basket from 12'-15' so will her ability to control the lane on both ends of the floor.  Three game averages were 7.6 points, 3 rebounds, and an assist.  Wiltsie is committed to University of Nebraska - Kearney. <span style="font-size: 14pt">Power Forwards</span> [caption id="attachment_75872" align="alignright" width="198"] Ohlde Elite Pink 2020's Faith Paramore is a blur on the finish against WSE Ferguson (Chaos)'s Kade Hackerott and Jaidyn Schomp.[/caption] <strong>Faith Paramore, 5'11", PF, Haven, Ohlde Elite 2020 Pink</strong> - Paramore has size, strength, and confidence to apply to her diverse talent set.  A talented offensive player she can score from the perimeter, off-the-drive, and from her face-up and back-to-basket game using multiple moves.  She also is an aggressive defender and offensive rebounder.  Two game statistics show an average of 12.5 points (2/7 from three), 5 rebounds.  Paramore is committed to Oral Roberts University. <strong>Katie Wagner, 5'11", PF, Maize South, Ohlde Elite 2020 Pink</strong> - Wagner's size, athleticism, strength, and grit made her a difficult match up. While forward is where I commonly found her she has the ability to play four positions and defend four positions including the point.  A scorer who can create for others as well as for herself she makes terrific use of her body to score against bigger posts.  She also has the ability to elevate over taller opponents.  Notable is her aggressiveness as an offensive rebounder.  Two game statistics show an average of 6.5 points (1/2 from three), 5 rebounds, and 3 assists.  Wagner is committed to Fort Hays State University. <em>Featured Image: Ohlde Elite Pink's Katie Wagner denies the passing lane to Wheat State Elite Ferguson (Chaos)'s Jaidyn Schomp. </em> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
