[player_tooltip player_id="116885" first="Maddie" last="Dillinger"] | Cuthbertson | F | 2021 Dillinger has expanded her game showing off her shot from behind the three point line. She can also drive and pull up for a jump shot when she doesn’t like the outside selection. She can certainly drive the ball scoring through contact with spin moves and power dribbles. She is a force inside when it comes to grabbing rebounds, and her hands are constantly causing problems on defense. Lenoir Rhyne is certainly getting a great athlete next season. <img class="size-medium wp-image-205589 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/Ruby-Williams-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" />[player_tooltip player_id="158313" first="Ruby" last="Williams"] | Cuthbertson | F | 2022 Williams does an excellent job handling the ball under pressure. She can push the ball up the court and make it by a press herself. She drives the ball making baskets through pressure and converting old fashioned three point plays. She even follows shots making baskets from second chance opportunities. Her shot is on point from behind the arc. She can essentially guard every position on the court using speed and agility to keep herself in front of guards and her length to cause problems for post players. She finished with 16 points in a game against Charlotte Catholic. Amanda Sacoto | Cuthbertson | C | 2023 Sacoto chases after every loose ball making sure her team has a chance to grab it. She seemed to always be in the right spot to grab rebounds, and she uses this ability to score points off of second chance opportunities. She can be sneaky moving around the paint from block to block making sure her guards have the best line of sight to get her the ball. [player_tooltip player_id="219899" first="Kennedy" last="Powell"] | High Point Christian | F/C | 2022<img class="size-medium wp-image-256067 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/02/Kennedy-Powell-scaled-crop-1920x1261-1613691207-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> Powell is almost averaging a double-double with points and rebounds. She has an ability to move her body in the paint with and without the ball getting the position that she wants in order to score the ball. She is strong when grabbing rebounds, and she shows no hesitation when putting the offensive ones back up for second chance points. Her IQ continues to grow as she knows where to move in the gaps of the defense to always be an asset on the court.
