<strong>Jackson EMC Tip-Off Classic: Top Forwards</strong> <strong>2022 6-0 C [player_tooltip player_id="302948" first="Tamori" last="Plantin"] – Buford</strong> We’ve known about [player_tooltip player_id="302948" first="Tamori" last="Plantin"]’s rebounding and ability to finish through contact inside, but she showcased some impressive offensive skill on the block with her footwork that really left a lasting impression. Plantin had 10 points, 9 rebounds and 2 steals. She was her typical rugged self on the glass, expertly using her body to carve out space and secure boards. Tamori does a good job snatching rebounds at their highest point. Plantin’s final bucket of the day was her most impressive. Attacking from the high post, driving to her right and spinning back middle for a big-time finish. If Plantin can create her own offense like that consistently, it puts her in another recruiting tier. <strong>2022 5-9 F [player_tooltip player_id="238214" first="Tatum" last="Ozment"] – Buford </strong> Reliability is what [player_tooltip player_id="238214" first="Tatum" last="Ozment"] brings. You can always count on her to finish around the rim with either hand, rebound and make the correct defensive rotations. Tatum scored on a pair of left-handed drives and collected 8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. She is a steady combo-forward that does the vast majority of her work on the interior. Tatum gets her offense in the flow of the game and never forces a bad shot. <strong>2023 5-10 W [player_tooltip player_id="302964" first="Mary" last="Mullinax"] – Lumpkin County</strong> Mary played with her trademark energy, helping defend multiple positions and scoring in a variety of ways. She finished with 11 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals. Mullinax scored on two drives, one going the length of the floor after a steal. Her outside shot has a unique follow through, but she cashed in on a three and keeps defenses honest. <strong>2023 6-1 F [player_tooltip player_id="356159" first="Alex" last="Schiavo"] – St. Pius X</strong> The extreme length of [player_tooltip player_id="356159" first="Alex" last="Schiavo"] is unavoidable. She can disrupt offenses with her ability to alter passing lanes and change shots. Offensively, Schiavo is a sneaky good driver. She covers a ton of ground, gliding to the basket and finishes with each hand extremely well. Schiavo can knock down the mid-range jumper. She had 9 points, 5 assists and 1 block. <strong>2022 5-10 W Alexa Kenah – St. Pius X</strong> Another long slasher, Alexa Kenah is a nimble driver. She was effective on the glass, scoring on two putbacks. Kenah is athletic and uses a eurostep when getting inside. She has three-point range as well. Alexa tallied 13 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. <strong>2022 5-10 F [player_tooltip player_id="210361" first="Kate" last="McBride"] – St. Pius X</strong> The Embry-Riddle Prescott-signee brought her lunch pail to work. She’s a tough banger inside that uses her body extremely well. She seals hard and scores with her back to the basket. She netted 11 points.
