Top Power Forwards in Region 2

2021 [player_tooltip player_id="136312" first="Zoe" last="Nelson"] (Hendrickson) Nelson impressed me before she entered high school but more importantly, she impressed countless college coaches with her amazing agility coupled with her athleticism standing just under the magic number. Now she’s over that magic number of 6’0. has shown she could play all five positions and with her range and ballhandling ability as well as ability to rebound, she helped her high school squad make a deep run [player_tooltip player_id="136320" first="Mackenzie" last="Wurm"] (Allen) Wurm will be recruited as a post, 75 inches, as well as her wingspan, makes that inevitable yet she showed she could step out and shoot the ball at the Mansfield Spring Creek Invitational but when she attacked the basket from the wing, she showed yet another side of her game but her timing on defense to block or alter shots as well as her rebounding not to leave out defending on the perimeter gives her options [player_tooltip player_id="136346" first="Tajanna" last="White"] (Cedar Ridge) White showed me a different side when I caught Cedar Ridge at the Katy Classic as she just overpowered players, consistently in the paint but she also faced the basket for the short jumper and showed good footwork as well as taking defenders strong to the basket. She rebounds well on both ends and just has that "you won’t outwork me mentality" playing the 4/5 [player_tooltip player_id="136352" first="Aniyah" last="Wade"] (Cy Springs) Wade gave me a glimpse of what was coming during a fall league game and watching her use her athleticism on both ends, along with her energy which stays the same throughout the game, I knew what was coming. She’s long and athletic, I’ve mentioned numerous times that’s the base yet her progression throughout the season just kept going up [player_tooltip player_id="136354" first="Akasha" last="Davis"] (Wylie East) Davis impressed me at the PBR Super 64 last season but I was overly impressed at her performance during the She’s Ballin  Showcase simple because she showed that she could dominate and take over, on both ends of the court. Strong, athletic and just keeps coming at you as she made countless shots with players hanging on her 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="135378" first="Lexi" last="Alexander"] (Cedar Ridge) Alexander has gradually made a name for herself over the years and she falls into the 3/4 category because her outside shooting was on full display at the Katy Classic and when you have range, mid to long and can put it on the floor and score, not to mention a college-ready body that can give and take the punishment over and over, well that’s huge but she defends and rebounds too [player_tooltip player_id="135377" first="Saija" last="Cleveland"] (Langham Creek) Cleveland makes bug jumps every season and watching her jump out of the gym dropping jumpers from all over the court this season played a part in her high school being a threat throughout the season and playoffs. She’s athletic and her first step is strong but she can mix it up for the stop and pop jumper or just continue to the basket as she’s an and one waiting to happen [player_tooltip player_id="135403" first="Yvonne" last="Forman"] (Dekaney) Forman showed me something a few seasons ago during the club season and watching her in high school solidified everything I thought initially and that is "she plays within herself" and "she can get hers in the flow" but she passes well, she rebounds well and she defends well but she’s also one of the best at getting position and finishing on putbacks and when you add she can face the basket and score..... 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="96156" first="Taylor" last="Haggan"] (Plano East) Haggan was one of the standouts at Pass Tha Ball’s The South that <a href="http://girlzprepreport.com/real-archive/710-2019-passtha-ball-s-thesouth-hs-tip-sheet">I wrote this</a> and she kept the momentum going at She’s Ballin Showcase. She’s strong and under control and with that, she also dives after loose balls in the stands, on the floor and off the glass but she can get to the rim and finish as well as shot the midrange and she understands how to create her shot in traffic
