[player_tooltip player_id="285351" first="Sarah" last="Burton"]  - 5’8 - Clinton High School - Clinton, TN [player_tooltip player_id="285351" first="Sarah" last="Burton"] is a offensive talent that is impressive to watch. She does not dazzle you with supreme athletic ability, but instead she uses her high IQ to take advantage of the defense. She relies on angles and putting the defense in inopportune positions. Burton has a picturesque form that makes you believe every shot has a chance to go in. She can shoot the three from a catch and shoot position or off the dribble. She can pull up and shoot the 15ft. jumpshot or use her floater. In the open court she moves very calculated with using euro steps and finishing through contact. Burton is a player who will fly under the radar due to her lack of team success, and her not given the opportunity to play on the big stage. Cierra Bowser - 5’6 - Northeast High School, Clarksville, TN Bowser is a strong guard who uses her strength in advantageous ways. When she is on the fast break she goes up under control and keeps her eye on the rim so she can finish through contact. When she is on defense she has the brute strength to just rip the ball out of the opponents hands if they are not careful. Bowser is a great athlete who is looking to flash in the open court and contest for weakside blocks. Early into the season she averaging 12 ppg which is a steady presence throughout the game. [player_tooltip player_id="276707" first="Bri" last="Ellis"] - 5’9 - Beech High School, Hendersonville, TN Ellis is a long and rangy athlete who can fit in any offensive system. She can shoot the three from deep and get to basket with either hand. She has a quick first step that allows her to blow by defenders, but with her athletic ability she can also finish over taller defenders. Not only will Ellis score the ball at a high rate, she will also pick you up 94ft. and apply extreme amounts of pressure. Ellis is a unique athlete who does not yet know how good she is, and she still plays with relentless hard work and heart. Sydnie Hayes - Grainger high School, Rutledge, TN Hayes is a knock down shooter. She’s constantly moving along the three point line to find weak spots in the defense. Hayes’ ability to shoot it from deep will help her adjust to college three seamlessly. However, Hayes has a slight hitch in her shot that will allow defenses to close out on her at more competitive levels. Her range will by her time, but as she gets further into her collegiate career, she should be able to adjust. Kaitlyn Lorenzi -5'8- Brentwood High School Lorenzi is a grit and grind type of player. She does all of the dirty work that her team needs. Lorenzi traps hard, defends the weakside, and consistently runs the floor. She has worked her way up through the Brentwood Lady Bruins system, improving her scoring to over double digits this season and rebounding to over 6 per game.. She will be one of the leaders the younger players look to for guidance throughout the year.
