<span style="font-weight: 400;">Bluff City is filled with many talented young ladies. The Memphis area provides many colleges on different levels, talented young ladies who come in looking to impact their new programs. Some programs throughout the city aren’t able to tip-off just yet due to the pandemic. Even though many of these highly touted kids are sidelined, there are still some good players playing throughout the area and surrounding counties. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The players who have been blessed to have the ability to compete during these times are starting to see their stock rise amongst some of the elite around the city. In fact, these girls are making a name for themselves, as well as playing themselves on collegiate coaches radars. Though we are just in the mid-season of the 20-21 high school campaign, these young ladies have stood out so far this season.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Hope Mealer (Sr., Center Hill)</strong>- Spot up shooter who can put the ball on the floor. She is a sharpshooter and shoots the 3 ball at a high clip. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Kayleigh Prentiss ( Jr., Center Hill)</strong>- is a force around the boards. When it comes to the paint, this girl is going to establish her presence. She contributes on both end of the court, yet is a bucket especially when it comes to grabbing offensive rebounds.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="245226" first="Mya" last="Pratcher"] (Jr., Bartlett)</strong>- long rangy post who is an enforcer in the paint. She is a rim protector who forces teams to do things out of their comfort zone. She contributes on the offensive end, but her defensive prowess starts many fast breaks and easy buckets for her teams to score in transition.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Kayli Clarkson ( So., Briarcrest)</strong>- Post player who contributes on both ends of the court. Can handle the ball well and has an arsenal of post moves. Can shoot the occasional 15ft shot, but is a force block to block.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Berklee Scifres (So., Hutchison)</strong>- is an offensive threat and one of the catalysts for her teams. She can put the ball on the floor as well as shoot the 3 ball really well. </span>
