Continue ReadingWhen you walk into the gym and start watching a game you can automatically point out the hoopers. The girls who make you do a double take. The girls who make you stand there a little longer watching the game. There were definitely plenty of these in Pool C and D at the Champions Challenge. These girls need a second look so check them out at the next Prep Girls Hoops Circuit tournament.
Ashlyn Yow Ashlyn Yow 5'6" | PG Waukesha West | 2022 State WI – Wisconsin Shooters 2022 Gold
Yow is a 5’6 junior point guard who controls and sets the pace for her team. From the outside looking in, she is the definition of a leader. She looks to drive and dish to her teammates for a nice finish. Yow is also a knock down shooter whose rhythm on the catch is pretty. She often finds herself floating around the three point line after a great pass, looking for it back, to knock down the three, after her teammates get doubled. She led her team to a 4-0 record this weekend.
Amaya Bridgewater – Wisconsin Playground 2024
Bridgewater is a 5’9 freshman that has a strong body that will be effective at the next level. Bridgewater did it all for her team, she scored off the dribble, rebounded and found the open player. When she catches the ball at the top of the key she can take you off the dribble both left and right. When she starts to drive, watch out for her because she is not stopping. Once you give her space and take the lane away she steps out and knocks down the three. Amaya was a top performer in one of her games ending with a double double, 19 points and 10 rebounds.
Alyssa Orozco – Illinois Hustle 2022-1
Orozco is a 5’8 junior guard who is a very good all around player. By that I mean she could lead the team in all stats including rebounding, scoring and assist.. She made shots all over the court but the midrange seems to be her game. She made great passes to her team and her decision making skills were key. She was one of our top performers this weekend with 14 points.
Layla Henderson Layla Henderson 5'10" | CG Naperville North | 2023 State IL – M14 Hoops 2023
Henderson is a 5’9 combo guard who really impressed me with her overall game. She handles the ball extremely well and has a quick first step off the bounce. You can tell she’s been putting in the work because her moves on offense are nice! She is really good In transition, she will either beat everyone down the floor with her speed or she pushes it up for a dime to one of her teammates. Very scrappy on defense and has a strong build that can help her be very successful at the next level.
