[player_tooltip player_id="160415" first="Ella" last="Wigal"]- 5’11, CG, Granville H.S.: Wigal is a big time player, who can easily take over a game with her vision, handles, defense, and her expertise in scoring from anywhere! She plays with composure, and is a natural in letting the game come to her. So crafty with her drives to the basket- she just glides, and can score with contact. Love her outside shot! Defensively, Ella is so active with her hands- she makes the game very challenging for opponents. Very bright future! [player_tooltip player_id="270516" first="Justice" last="Steinman-Ross"]- 6’1, PF, Marion Harding H.S.: College coaches, Keep this young lady on your radar, because she has got the skills, mindset, and athleticism to do big things at the next level. Great hands that are always ready for the ball, love her drop step moves on the block, and boy can she finish from anywhere in the paint! Uses the backboard well, rebounds and finishes plays on transition. Smooth off the dribble! [player_tooltip player_id="93549" first="Leila" last="Jones"]- 5’8, SG, Westerville South H.S.: Jones is tough, physical, and strong- she brings many abilities to her team, including her outside shooting, finishing plays to the basket in transition and flow of the offense. No problem going coast to coast off the steal and finish. Very nice outside stroke and can get hot from behind 3 point range. Makes solid decisions, and gets after it on the defensive end. [player_tooltip player_id="214499" first="Tamara" last="Ortiz"]- 5’4, PG, Westerville South H.S.: Tamara is a 1 on 1 nightmare for opposing teams! Her explosive quickness, ability to split defenders and have the options of either taking the pull up shot, dishing to teammates, or finishing at the rim, makes her a threat from everywhere! Defensively, she is a pest, loves to pick pockets, and push the tempo. Smooth shooter, and has no problem weaving through traffic- great handles!

Her opponent needs to know where she's located! Comfortable hitting the mid range jumpers, and knows how to get to the charity stripe.
