SoCal Clash Standouts Pt. 2

With the high school basketball regular season still on hold in California, various grassroots events and showcases have popped up to help fill the void. One of those events, the annual SoCal Clash hosted by Beach City Hoops, was held this past weekend. The event featured some of the top high school talent in the classes of 2021 and 2022. The game was a close one with the 2022s pulling out the win late in the second half. Here’s a look at some of the top standouts from the game. <strong>1. [player_tooltip player_id="102696" first="Simone" last="Morris"] - Long Beach Poly 2021</strong> Morris is a very good wing prospect who has a couple of offers already. She’s one of the better unsigned seniors and perimeter scorers in SoCal. She is a killer in the midrange, can shoot off the dribble and can face up and shoot over the defense. She can also stop and pop on the break. A good rebounder for a wing. Very comfortable with the ball in her hands and drawing contact at the rim to get to the line. <strong>2.
