(Lady Strong, SG) can certainly shoot well from behind the arc. She even showed off her ability to block shots. These blocks turn into steals which are pushed up the court by her looking for open teammates. She is constantly moving on offense even looking for ways that she can move to get her teammate a better entry pass. She makes smart decisions with the ball knowing when it’s best for her to shoot or make a pass to a teammate in a better position.
Ally Guglielmo (FBC Carolina Elite Mayo, SG) runs the floor well making herself available in
transition. She scored through contact on fast breaks, and she handles the ball well pushing it up the court. She anticipated passes on defense grabbing steals to take the other direction. She had a nice crossover to get some space between her and her defender and drained a midrange jumper.
Emma Wagoner (Greensboro Lady Gaters, SG) uses her hands to cause problems on defense swatting it away from her opponents. She does a great job keeping her opponent in front of her as she slides her feet on defense. She knows how to clear out her opponent when boxing them out making sure her team is the only one who can grab the rebound. Her shot has a nice roll to it, and she can drain it from deep.
Audra Petty (Greensboro Lady Gaters, SG, pictured above) did a great job reading her opponents and using that as information to grab a steal. She is a great shooter as well even hitting eight three pointers in a game earlier this month. She moves well getting away from her opponents to put up a shot showing off some nice midrange as well. She finished with 16 points in a game on Saturday of the tournament.
Maslyn Mosbacher (Greensboro Lady Gaters, PG) showed off her shot from downtown. She was effective on the press jumping in front of opponents preventing them from making a pass by her. She does a great job passing and cutting, and she catches passes ready to take them to the hoop. She had back to back drives that seemed to burst her opponents’ bubbles just when they thought they were going to get a run going.
