Central Cass has a very deep roster with a bunch of talent that pitches in all stat categories. They don’t possess a ton of height, but they are all very solid and contribute. [player_tooltip player_id="100445" first="Decontee" last="Smith"] is the leading scorer from the past season at only 10 points/game, so that shows the kind of depth and contribution Central Cass has all around. Central Cass has many prospects and athletes to get excited about, and let's get to know their games and play style. <span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">[player_tooltip player_id="99809" first="Kailey" last="McKinnon"]<b> — (5’8/SG/2022) —</b> <b>Central Cass — 9ppg. — 40 steals — 40 assists -- </b>Kailey is a true playmaker and the leader for Central Cass. She makes plays on the defensive end as well as the offensive end. A good athlete and great mover on the court. Can take a rebound coast-to-coast at good speed and fluidity. Kailey is a stud in the transition game. Great at pushing the ball up court by dribble to create scoring opportunities. She is tough to contain when she goes off the dribble. Is a very active defender, flying all around the court.  Overall, a really solid prospect that is polished already with only room for improvement. </span> [player_tooltip player_id="99826" first="Jaylin" last="Cotton"] <strong> — (5’11/C/2022) — Central Cass  — 7 ppg. — 3.1 rpg. — 20 steals — 11 blocks — 11 threes — </strong>Jaylin is a prospect that needs attention. A skilled, post-type prospect. She attacks the boards and has a Kevin Love-type ability to throw 3/4 court passes on a dime to her teammates on the move.  A solid overall prospect with decent size that can stretch the floor with her shooting ability. A defensive presence inside that can be a shot-blocker as well. She will also get up and play tight D extending to the three-point line. An exceptional post defender that understands timing and angles in the post.  Jaylin is a college prospect without a doubt.

She can hit an open three and is very accurate from the mid-range area. She's not a player you can leave open. Will run in transition and finish off of the ball for a bucket. [player_tooltip player_id="100445" first="Decontee" last="Smith"]  <strong>— (5’8/SG-SF/2023) — Central Cass — 10ppg. — 6.5rpg. — 45 steals — 50 assists</strong> — The most talented prospect for Central Cass, Decontee can make any type of play on the court.  A Top-notch athlete with great playing strength — plays tough and mean. Hard-nosed defender with elite lateral movement -- sits in a great defensive stance. Has surprising handles to go with her elite athleticism. Not a point guard, but can push the ball up very quickly and make a move to the hoop. Has great vertical ability too. An underrated prospect that has a ton of upside and potential going forward. [player_tooltip player_id="208167" first="Morgan" last="Lee"]<strong> —  (5’8/SG-SF/2022) — Central Cass — 6.6 ppg. — 3.9 rpg. — 56 steals — 55 assists — 17 threes — </strong>Morgan is a really nice prospect that has decent size and good movement for a guard-type. Can pull-up and shoot off the dribble. Capability to hit the mid-range jumper and has three-point range. More than skilled enough with the ball to create scoring opportunities for herself. She can get the ball in transition and slice to the hoop to finish or create contact for free-throws.

Skilled and will hit the three if given time and space.

A good decision maker with the ball and doesn't make many mistakes. Runs the floor well and has a great awareness of ball-and-man when back-peddling on defense. An accurate mid-range jump-shot. Look for Delaney to really grow and improve with more playing opportunity. [player_tooltip player_id="100451" first="Victoria" last="Richter"]<strong> — (5’4/PG-SG/2023) — Central Cass — 4.1 ppg. — 3.6 rpb. — 46 steals — 40 assists — </strong>Victoria is a scrappy guard that gets playing time as a young prospect as well.

A defender that's always in a stance to make the next defensive stop/play. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
