We take a look at some of the top looking clutch play makers in SW Missouri. Play makers like Jazz Kirby of Republic and [player_tooltip player_id="164691" first="Ella" last="Lippelman"] of Springfield Catholic are players that know how to make the big plays under pressure. [player_tooltip player_id="164691" first="Ella" last="Lippelman"], 5’6, PG, Catholic One of the many talented junior for the Fighting Irish, Lippelman is one of the crafty and tenacious looking guards that makes Catholic one of the better guard teams in the SW Missouri region. Ella is a player that can make her team better and is one of those players that performs very well under pressure. Jazzy Kirby, 5’6, PG, Republic The Tigers are a team that are on the make and a junior player that is one to know has to be Jazzy Kirby. The 5-6 point guard is a solid and very dependable handler with the rock and is a player that you can rely upon to commit few mistakes while giving you lots of fine looking plays and giving the Tigers a good chance to win with her nice basketball IQ. [player_tooltip player_id="106900" first="Sierra" last="Kimbrough"], 5-3, G, Webb City The Cardinals have one of the better looking juniors in SW Missouri, along with a player that is one that is heavily relied upon to make plays when the team needs a spark or a clutch play on either side of the ball. Kimbrough is one of the players that has the nice court vision, plays with her head up and sees all the next plays that are needed. Jadalyn Keith, 5-8, G, Hartville A player at one of the smaller schools in the area that is a fine looking player and one that can make the big shot in the key game, is Hartville junior guard Jadalyn Keith. She has the skills and talent that you like to see from a go to type athlete and with Hartville being a team that is on the rise, Keith is one of those players that we see as a clutch play making junior on the horizon. [player_tooltip player_id="106884" first="Lauren" last="Johnson"], 5-8, 2021, Walnut Grove Johnson was a key part of many of the big games Walnut Grove had this season and is a player that we could see having a big senior campaign in 2020-21. Lauren is a play maker that has proven she can let her athletic ability shine on the court. Johnson, also a fine softball standout at Walnut Grove, looks to be one of the better looking class of 21 players in the SW Missouri area.
