Morgan Gavacci – 2024 of FBC Nightmares 2023 (San Jose Prep) knocked down three 3’s and 21 points. Gavacci has grit and no fear while on the court. No surprise she hit the game-winner in sudden-death overtime.
Victoria Noble 2025 of ECU 2024 (Fleming Island) shot the cover off the ball on the final day at Battle in the Boro. Noble knocked down 5 three-pointers and showed that she can also run the floor, recording multiple fastbreak points.
Sophia Rueppell 2023 ( ECU 2022) continued shooting the ball with a vengeance at Battle in the Boro. Rueppell showed she could dish the rock with a near double-digit assist game. She also shot it well, finishing with 21 points.
Dyllan Hannah Dyllan Hannah 6'2" | C Bartram Trail | 2022 State FL 2022 of ECU (Bartram High) had another eye-opening performance at the Boro with a 12 point, 14 rebounds, and a 7- block shot performance. Her solid play resulted in offers from several major colleges.
Nia Blocton- 2024 of MHD ( Ridgeview) put in a really solid game performance at Battle in the Boro. The 6’1 Blocton did a nice job of running the floor and was also impressive at getting in the paint and scoring. When she puts it in high gear she is rather imposing for the opponent.
Baily Gilmore 2023 (FBC Nightmares 2023) really looked good in the Battle in the Boro. Gilmore had a monster game scoring 20 and grabbing double-digit rebounds. She was impressive in every game that I observed her playing. She was taking shots from the perimeter, scoring from midrange, and a few power moves to the rack. At 6’ 3″ her athleticism and defense really stood out. She showed the ability to defend in the post and on the perimeter. She was constantly talking to her teammates, calling out picks, and displaying great leadership on the court.
