Hidden Gems Showcase- Part 4

<strong>Taylynne Springs- 5'7, 2023, Grove City H.S.: </strong>Springs plays consistent on both ends of the court, and showed under control offensive moves with the basketball. Taylynne can go both right or left to the basket, and has a soft touch around the rim. She has reliable handles, and sharp cuts to the lane. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="217321" first="Berry" last="Wallace"]- 6'1, 2024, Pickerington Central H.S.: </strong>(<em>Below with ball) </em>I'm always wowed with the way Wallace performs. She can truly take over a game, whether it be with blocking shots, strong defense/ protecting the paint, rebounding, dribbling coast to coast, or scoring from the paint, mid-range, or behind the arc. Very high basketball IQ, with a big time future ahead of her! <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/10/Berry-1-scaled-crop-2048x1345-1633652137.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-337542" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/10/Berry-1-scaled-crop-2048x1345-1633652137-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a> <strong>Aaliyah Sellers- 5'4, 2022, Thomas Worthington H.S.: </strong>Sellers does a great job running the point, making sure that the floor is spread out and balanced. With her light feet and handles, she can easily find open seams in the lane and capitalize, whether it be making the shot or setting up her teammates. (<em>Featured photo, with ball)</em> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="527914" first="Simone" last="Holifield"]- 5'4, 2024, Reynoldsburg H.S.:  </strong>(<em>Below with ball) </em>I was impressed with Holifield's quick decisions, particularly on transition. She can run and gun with anyone! andles the basketball well, and opponents simply cannot leave her open for a moment- because she is a scorer, and can jump with the trees inside for rebounds! <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/10/Simone-scaled-crop-2048x1345-1633651507.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-337532" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/10/Simone-scaled-crop-2048x1345-1633651507-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a> <strong>Nevaeh Brownlee- 5'8, 2023, Westerville South H.S.:  </strong>I love Navaeh's intensity! When she plays defense, she treats every moment as if her opponent is attempting to score the winning shot. She wants to guard the opposing team's best player- and steps up to the challenge. No problem crashing the boards, and dribble penetrating to the basket. <strong>Ella Newkirk- 5'4, 2022, Fairfield Local H.S.: </strong>(<em>Below, #57)</em>Newkirk can put on a scoring display! She's definitely comfortable from 3 point land! Ella plays smart, doesn't force shots, and plays under control. She is able to find the open spots on the court, and has a quick release. <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/10/ella-scaled-crop-1742x1144-1633651284.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-337527" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/10/ella-scaled-crop-1742x1144-1633651284-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a>
