Aliyah Williams Aliyah Williams 5'4" | PG Parkway North | 2021 State MO 5’4″ Parkway North (Class of 2021): Aliyah is a scoring point guard who has electric speed and quickness. She is very difficult to defend because she has the ability to break down defenders off the dribble and score at the rim while also being able to pull up from well behind the 3-point line to drain jumpers. She can attack in either direction with either hand to blow by defenders, but she also has a great hesitation move that freezes them in their tracks. She averaged 18 points a game while making xx 3-pointers during her junior season. When she draws a double team, she will find the open teammates with a nice dime. She spent the summer playing for the Midwest United 3SSB 17U squad.
Mia Nicastro Mia Nicastro 6'1" | SG St. Charles West | 2022 State MO 6’1″ St. Charles West (Class of 2022): A versatile wing player who is capable of playing every position on the court and do it very effectively. She has continued to grow in height and her game as grown along with it. On one possession, you will see her setting up the offense from the point and distributing the basketball. Then, you will find her in the low post getting tough buckets through contact. She is also a very talented offensive player who can create her own shot with her ball handling and nice escape moves. She has a cool step-back jumper from 3-point range and a solid mid-range jumper off the dribble. She can also create problems with her height and length on the defensive end with deflections and steals. She played for St. Louis Blue Star 16U during the summer
Ella Rogers Ella Rogers 5'11" | SF Hickman | 2023 State MO 5’11″ Columbia Hickman (Class of 2023): A talented young forward who is a walking set of basketball fundamentals. She is a very effective player in the low post as she does everything well from getting position and sealing her defenders, giving a nice target and catching the ball well and keeping the ball up to score. She is also a solid screener in the pick and roll and will dive the the basket well. She can also operate in the high post where she can knock down the 15-footer or deliver a nice pass in a high-low set. She will also handle the ball on the wing and step out and knock down 3-pointers, where she is very effective from the top of the key and the corners.
