Saiter’s Standouts from Journey to the Tourney- Part 4

<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="217320" first="Kya" last="Jordan"]- 5’5, 2024, Gahanna Lincoln H.S.: </strong>(<em>Below with ball) </em>I have been impressed with Jordan's ability in handling and distributing the ball, particularly while running the offense. Her jet-quick feet is such an asset to her game, which not only makes herself open for buckets to the basket, but also from outside. Pretty outside stroke! Defensively, she gets after it all game. <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/IMG_9665-scaled-crop-2048x1345-1638705819.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-360514" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/IMG_9665-scaled-crop-2048x1345-1638705819-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a> <strong>Juju Grubich- 5’6, 2022, Gahanna Lincoln H.S.: </strong>(<em>Below, on defense) </em>Every basketball team needs a Juju Grubich! It's evident to see how she fires up her team before games, and she carries that same leadership on the court, through her defense, setting up her teammates for easy buckets, attacking the basket, and hustling every play. I watched her boxing out a player who had at least 7 inches to her height- and Juju came away with the rebound. She's a fighter. <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/IMG_1211-scaled-crop-2048x1345-1638705083.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-360508" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/IMG_1211-scaled-crop-2048x1345-1638705083-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="217351" first="Aaliyah" last="Younger"]- 5’5, 2024, Gahanna Lincoln H.S.  </strong>(<em>Below with ball) </em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Younger continues to get better and better each game. She sets high expectations for herself. I love her light feet, and her precise crossover dribbles are spot on. Outstanding handles, and pushes the tempo of the game, yet under control. Strong outside shooter behind the arc.  <img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-360510" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/IMG_9786.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="211793" first="Abby" last="Wolterman"]- 6’0, 2022, Mount Notre Dame H.S.:  </strong>(<em>Below, #4) </em>Walsh University is going to enjoy having this young lady for 4 years! <span style="font-weight: 400;"> Wolterman is a double-double anytime she is on the court! She does all the little things so well, from boxing out, to playing physical for all rebounds, to muscling her way in the lane for shots. Love her footwork, and has such strong fundamentals. <img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-360505" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/IMG_1305.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="157705" first="Taylor" last="Stanley"]- 5’6, 2023, Mount Notre Dame H.S.:  </strong>I think Taylor is one of the most consistent, and strongest point guards in the state. She doesn't make many mistakes, and <span style="font-weight: 400;">is so impressive running the offense. Stanley handles the ball with excellent care, plays with confidence, and has no problem slicing through the defense to either create a shot for herself or her teammates.  (<em>Featured Photo)</em></span>
