Blake works hard in the paint to gain position and has the ability to play with her back to the basket. Blake is active around the cup with put-backs on the glass. Blake was vocal on and off the floor with her teammates in a positive way with her communication. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-212609" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/CFE375B1-FAE7-4BF6-BC31-9B2052694F73.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="172490" first="Jasmine" last="Norman"] - Marlboro County HS (Bennettsville) </strong> Norman came out on fire here early on. Norman is a SCORER and shows that while playing. Norman was able to knockdown perimeter jumpers and leak out in transition for some cheapies. Norman averaged just over 17 ppg last season for the Lady Bulldogs. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-212612" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/7CE4DFEE-048C-4168-9FD7-FE82760ADF4C.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="171736" first="Daveona" last="Hatchell"] - North Myrtle Beach HS </strong> Hatchell was great down low in the post all day long. Hatchell used her left-handed on several occasions to finish at the basket. Hatchell will draw contact down low. Hatchell has a good set of hands and shows to have good footwork. Hatchell seems to be the most effective closer to the basket at times than outside the paint. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-211712" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/1B5C8F0A-5B96-4ADB-94CF-22F8DDF49EA8.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="206617" first="Morgan" last="Kelly"] - Blythewood HS </strong> Kelly was great today with her play and was featured earlier on First Impressions article.
