The girls event only had 6 teams with a few dropping out earlier in the week. Lets take a look at some other top performers from the event that didn’t play at Quality Education Academy (QEA is in another whole article). <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="261169" first="Chelsey" last="Santana"] - Winston-Salem Regional (pictured on front) </strong> Santana moves well from inside-out on the floor.

Martinez plays down on the block and has good hands around the cup. Martinez and Santana both hail from the Dominican Republic. Martinez has the ability to face-up and knockdown the short jumper on the baseline or from the elbow. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="261170" first="Hailey" last="Blackwell"] - Winston-Salem Regional</strong> Blackwell a point guard really looks to push the tempo up the floor at times. Blackwell a pass first point guard was active in the passing lanes with her defense at times. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-261183" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/03/050FC5F5-D0EE-4791-8D16-DD2E7BD87B1C.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="208149" first="Brecken" last="Snotherly"] - Winston-Salem Regional </strong> Snotherly wasn’t able to play in the Championship Game on Saturday vs Quality Education after going down with a ankle injury on Friday night. Snotherly has great range out on the perimeter and moves very well without the ball in her hands. Snotherly wasn’t afraid to take a charge and sacrifice her body on the defensive end of the floor for a loose ball. Snotherly has a good feel for the game and at times will leak out for some cheapies on the other end. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-261311" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/03/99FFAB4E-5BD0-465D-8A79-6A51AE82BB98.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="261174" first="MaNyah" last="Thomas-Wilson"] - Living Water Christian (Jacksonville) </strong> Thomas-Wilson was able to get the ball into the gaps and paint today for her squad. Thomas-Wilson plays off the grid over in Eastern North Carolina at a small school Christian school located in Jacksonville.
