Currently ranked as one of the top 50 players in the country for her class. 2021 5’9 PG [player_tooltip player_id="144525" first="Izzy" last="Boring"] (Spokane Legacy Red) - Heady and unselfish point guard that holds offers from multiple schools below the Division 1 level. Handles pressure well and defends well on the other side of the ball too. At her best when she is being aggressive looking for her own shot as well. 2022 5’8 PG [player_tooltip player_id="27947" first="Veronica" last="Sheffey"] (Way to Win Gold) - Fresh off offers from Portland and Northern Arizona, Sheffey heads to the Run 4 Roses with her stock steadily rising an opportunity to do it again in this tourney. Shifty and solid lefty PG. 2022 5’11 SF [player_tooltip player_id="156428" first="Tatum" last="Thompson"] (Way to Win Gold) - The wiry wing does everything on the floor and can match up with any wing or guard in Washington’s 2022 class and hold her own. A Division 1 level prospect. <h4><a href="https://run4theroses.com/schedule-2/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Run 4 Roses Schedule</strong></span></a></h4>
