<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="173070" first="Laila" last="Phelia"]- G, 5’10, 2021, Mount Notre Dame: </strong>( <em>Shooting in picture below</em> )Smooth, and such a natural guard, who can go coast to coast in a blink, and just glides when going in the paint. Difficult to guard, with her quickness and ability to shoot from anywhere. Finished with 11 points, 3 rebounds.  <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/03/IMG_8160-1-scaled-crop-2049x1345-1615734350.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-262861" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/03/IMG_8160-1-scaled-crop-2049x1345-1615734350-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32600" first="KK" last="Bransford"]- G, 5’11, 2022, Mount Notre Dame:  </strong>Big time players live for these moments, and boy did she come through. Amazing performance, just shy of a triple double, with 21 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds. Dominating player, beautiful how she attacks the basket, and an endless amount of passion. (<em>Featured Photo)</em> <strong>Autumn Crockett- F, 5’10, 2021, Mount Notre Dame: </strong>Autumn stepped up big time, shooting a perfect 4-4 from the floor, totaling 9 points, and 4 rebounds. Runs the floor well, doesn't force anything, plays solid defense. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32567" first="Emma" last="Shumate"]- G, 6’1, 2021, Newark: </strong>(<em>Shooting in pic below) </em>Emma has had a stunning season, and is often raved for her offensive talent.  But her defense last night left me speechless. It was as if she was combining volleyball with basketball! Her blocked shots was unbelievable to watch! She finished with 12 points, and 13 blocked shots!  <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/03/IMG_8010-scaled-crop-2049x1345-1615733805.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-262854" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/03/IMG_8010-scaled-crop-2049x1345-1615733805-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a> <strong>Maddy Vejicky- G, 6’0, 2022, Newark: </strong>Maddie's shooting form, and her basketball IQ, quick passes, and defense is text book perfect. She never looks tired, and goes 100% the entire game. One of the best 3 point shooters I've ever watched.  Vejicky had 18 points, and 6 rebounds for the night. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="212899" first="Gwen" last="Stare"]- G, 5’9, 2022, Newark:  </strong>(<em>Seen With ball, below</em>) Newark has so many weapons, and Stare played on whole new level tonight. Just shy of a double double, with 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists. Fantastic vision, finds her teammates, dribble penetration is spot on, and so very exciting to watch her perform.  <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/03/IMG_8064-scaled-crop-2049x1345-1615734017.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-262856" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/03/IMG_8064-scaled-crop-2049x1345-1615734017-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a>
