While there is no shortage of girls talent on the Treasure Coast I had 3 in the 2023 class that have caught my attention to keep an eye on for this upcoming season.
[player_tooltip player_id="247121" first="Lauren" last="Cioffi"] - 2023 F/C Jensen Beach
Lauren is coming off a great season where she as selected to the All Area Second Team and consistently put up double doubles for her Jensen Beach team. Lauren is 6 feet tall who primarily plays forward or center. Lauren is viewed as a tough as nails defender and has a motor that does not stop. Lauren when describing her game tells me she is a strong rebounder that always finds her way around the basket. Lauren has a deep passion for the game and has also been working on her mid-range game. Lauren had a great summer on the travel circuit playing for East Coast United and is excited to see what her team can accomplish this upcoming season. This will be a player and team to watch throughout the season!
Amanda Gumina - 2023 G Martin County
Amanda plays alongside her twin sister Kaylee and the 2 sisters are poised for a big season for Martin County. Amanda has high IQ, is a pass first point guard and knows how to get her teammates active. Amanda told me " I rather get the assist and setup my teammate when they have a better shot than I do." It will be that type of attitude that should lead Martin County to another solid season.
Kaylee Gumina - 2023 F Martin County
Kaylee like her sister Amanda is a 3 year Varsity player is 5’11 and can play 1-5 she is coming off a strong freshman season and is poised for a breakout year. She knows how to use her size to get rebounds and block shots which makes he a tough defender around the basket. Kaylee also has an improving perimeter shot and can attack the basket when needed.
