Classic in the Country- Saturday, Part 2

<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="157702" first="Kendall" last="Braaten"]- 5’9, PG/SG, 2023 Laurel: </strong>Absolutely love her defense, really plays well in the seam/denying, which leads to steals and easy transition buckets. Plays with confidence and control. Braaten is someone who can dribble penetrate beautifully, and hit the floaters in the lane with no problem. She sees the floor very well, able to find the gaps on defense, and attack. Can hit the mid- range jumpers, and 3's. She caught my eye on both ends of the court, watch her! <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="157686" first="Mari" last="Bickley"]- 5’10, PG/SG/SF, 2023 Laurel: </strong>Very talented, physically strong, and she can do it all! Great leader on the court, and excellent decision make- her eyes are always looking for the open player. Without question, holds her own defensively, creates 5 second calls, puts great pressure on the ball. She gets up and down the floor quickly, makes off the dribble shots, hits the three point shot with ease, and takes off on transition, making easy layups- all of this done with confidence and consistency. She's a great player! <strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-247426" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/01/IMG_5185-241x300.jpeg" alt="" width="241" height="300" />Lexi Cashwell- 5’9, G, 2022, Bishop Hartley: (<em>In #12 Jersey) </em></strong> Lexi stands out to me simply for this reason- she will do anything that the team needs in order to come out with a win. She can score, inside or outside, midrange and 3's, and she makes aggressive, hard drives to the basket- can go baseline or in the lane. Love her defense- her long athletic frame gives her advantages in rebounding and on the defensive end. I love her potential and game! College coaches, stay on the lookout for her. &nbsp; <strong>Bella Parker- 5’4, G, 2022, Bishop Hartley: </strong>Parker is a guard who has the ability to hit the outside shots, including behind the arc. She never shows signs of being rattled; if her shots aren't falling, she easily finds other ways to contribute. She has great handles, trustworthy with the ball and decisions she makes with creating open looks for teammates. Bella feeds into the post players very well. Defensively, she's solid, quick feet, sits low. I like her style of play- hard worker who doesn't get tired! <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32556" first="Ivy" last="Wolf"]- 5’10, PG, 2021, Minster: </strong>Wow- this girl is special, and can flat out play! Extremely valuable to the team, a natural leader, with very high basketball IQ. Offensively, she can shoot anywhere on the court with a high rate of success, both at mid-range and beyond the arc. Whoever has the assignment of guarding her will be very busy containing her. Strong passer, excellent handles, great decision maker, keeps the offense flowing and spread out. Miami University is going to love having her for four years!
