#159 Rylee Bess, 5-6 2025, Pickerington Central – A potential floor general that saw the floor very well this past weekend. Pressure does not bother this young lady as she knocked down big shots behind the perimeter. Has good footwork, and tight handles when creating separation and getting to the rim. Defensively, this young lady has good hands, and the ability to find the basketball. She makes it very difficult defensively for others to get their teammates involved. She is no stranger to big-time moments, and her toughness showed all weekend.
#55 Katherine McCormick 5-4, SG Villa Maria Academy -This young lady plays hard. A quick first step offensively. A really good young talent that can shoot it from the perimeter. Plays with passion, and a good work ethic. Hustle player that moves around the floor with a purpose. This young lady does a good job in shooting the basketball in transition, and making the right decisions with the basketball in her hands. Looking forward to keeping an eye on this young lady.
#248 Addisyn Biel 5-9, Center – Good size for a post player. She does a good job getting up, and down the floor. Uses her body in the post and finishes around the rim. This young lady does a great job of making it difficult for opponents to finish around the rim. Does a great job getting up, and down the floor. Development in her mid-range game and lateral quickness will both be difference makers in her overall play. She’s strong and very physical when using her drop step.
#393 Ava Lucarotti Villa Maria Academy – This young lady has a lot of potential in her game. This past weekend she took advantage of the space she was left with shooting behind the perimeter. She did a great job seeing the floor all weekend. Her ability to pass, and find her open teammates showed that she is a very unselfish player that just wants to win.
#282 J’ Bionna Robinson 5″6 Mt. Vernon GA – Keep an eye on this young lady. This past weekend she showed the ability to apply pressure on the defensive end. Did a good job taking care of the basketball against tough defenders and made the right decision consistently. She has the ability to finish on both sides of the basket. Moving without the basketball she found herself in good positions to help her team’s success. Coming from a distance to this event already proves the love she has for the game. In her development, working on controlling her body will be a big factor to where her game can go.
