Jayla Stirgus | Point Guard | 2023 | Sylvan Hills
Jayla is a quick point guard with a good handle. She loves putting pressure on the defense with her attacking mentality. She’s a playmaker with good interior passing ability off the bounce. She also has the ability to create space off the dribble to get into a pull-up jumper.
Jayla Harris | Forward | 2022 | Sylvan Hills
Jayla does a good job of making herself available on penetration. She knows where to relocate and always has her hands ready to receive the pass. She rebounds well, finishes at the rim and if given the space can make the mid-range jumper.
Courtney Savell | Wing | 2022 | Sylvan Hills
Every team needs someone that can spread the floor and make perimeter shots. During the game, I saw Courtney she did just that for her team. They trailed through three quarters but Courtney made some timely shots to keep her team in the game. Her shooting ability created gaps for teammates to penetrate.
Madeline Tipton | Wing | 2022 | Vilonia
In the game I saw Madeline play she mainly operated out of the high post but was also effective from the wing and low post area. She even saw some time at the point guard position. So it’s safe to say she did a little bit of everything for her team. She made threes, got to the rim, converted in transition, got to the line, and was solid on defense.
Brenna Burk | Point Guard | 2023 | Russellville
Brenna is a solid point guard who plays within herself and doesn’t try to do too much. She poised under pressure and doesn’t allow the defense to speed her up when she doesn’t want to. Brenna was patient off the pick n roll. She would attack but at a pace that allowed her to make the right play.
Gracie Campbell | Forward | 2022 | Russellville
Gracie is a forward that can play on the interior or perimeter. She can attack in straight lines off the dribble. Her ability to attack off the bounce is partly due to her good footwork of being able to start and stop her drives on balance with the ability to pivot on the pick-up. She can also step behind the three-point line and make the three.
Johnna Brockman | Post | 2024 | Morrilton
Johnna is a post player that every team needs because she plays with toughness. She plays hard every possession on both ends of the floor. She has soft hands and can score on the low block over her left shoulder.
