Super Scrimmage Standouts

Good Counsel hosted a one day super scrimmage with several schools from the IAAM, WCAC and some independent heavyweights participating in their two gyms. There was plenty of talent in the building for this pre-season get together so let’s take a look at some of the standout players. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="137243" first="Kadidia" last="Toure"], Good Counsel, 2022</strong> Kadidia is a James Madison recruit. At 6’2" she has legit size and her skillset makes her a matchup nightmare for most teams. She showed off a bit of everything today, posting up to get buckets, beating defenders off the dribble and crashing the boards fonr put backs. She should have a strong senior season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="238813" first="Kennedy" last="Umeh"], McDonogh, 2024</strong> <strong><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-354616" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/11/20211120_161520-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></strong> I liked Kennedy’s work for the day. She was very physical and decisive whenever she got the ball. She has great footwork so it was usually a strong catch, pivot, power dribble and explode to the basket. She established good position and made good cuts to open. She is very strong so she immediately looks for contact and usually comes out on top in those post exchanges. Very good touch around the basket and rebounds well. At 6’4" she is a problem for most defenses. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="142823" first="Sahnya" last="Jah"], Bishop McNamara, 2023</strong> Big time prospect reminded everyone why she’s one of the top ballers from her class today. Scored from all three levels and used her length and athleticism on both ends of the court. She’s so much fun to watch because she makes it look easy. At 6’1" she looks and plays the part. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="164693" first="Sophia" last="Carlisle"], Bishop O’Connell, 2023</strong> <img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-354617" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/11/20211120_113032-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> Another strong post prospect. She finished everything she got around the basket. At 6’1" and solidly built, she establishes good position but also put the ball on the floor and went around defenders. She looked comfortable initiating offense from the high post and in pick and roll action. She controlled the boards and played solid help defense. <strong>Jaeda Wilson, Holy Child, 2024</strong> <img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-354614" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/11/20211120_112641-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> Tough lefty guard that shot the lights out from three in the session I watched. Smart defender that kept people in front of her with good footwork. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="304355" first="Ava" last="McKennie"], McDonogh, 2024</strong> Ava was a blur in transition, going coast to coast and scoring when the opportunity was there. She gave the Eagles some good minutes at point guard even though that’s not her natural position. Ava was strong and disruptive on defense, applying good ball pressure and deflecting passes. She is long and athletic and comfortable playing multiple positions. &nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="239422" first="Kaliyah" last="Murphy"], Elizabeth Seton, 2025</strong> Wing with good size and an explosive first step. She shot from deep with confidence and scored some points in the paint off loose balls and rebounds. She gave Seton and spark with her hustle plays. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="142846" first="Paris" last="Locke"], McDonogh, 2023</strong> Paris had herself a game in the last session of the day for her team. She caught fire from three, hitting off both catch and shoot situations and off the bounce. When defenders closed out, she went around them and finished at the rim. She has some mid range stuff in her bag as well. Good showing for her. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
