Who were some of the ladies that stood out from the 2023 Palmetto State Class on opening day at the United Bank Holiday Invitational? <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="124105" first="Jessica" last="Woods"] - Westwood HS (pictured on front)</strong> Woods does a bit of everything you need a player to do on the floor. Jessica finishes at the rim at a high rate and on contact to boot. She will play with defenders with her sharp ball-handling skills and nice mid-range game. Jessica has no problems creating her own shot and making plays for her teammates along the way. Woods scored 27 points in an opening round win for the Lady Redhawks. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-366516" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/0CA0B2C8-4119-4FB6-8D55-ACFCE2FCD945.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="198126" first="Korletta" last="Daniels"] - Westwood HS </strong> Daniels is a slasher-deluxe at times on her way to the cup. Korletta has quick hands to manufacture points on both ends of the floor. She was able to drop a few mid-range jumpers on way to scoring 16 points in an opening round win. Daniels will look to leak-out at times for cheapies in transition at time. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-366520" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/629A305E-64B4-4A6D-AF77-56F7A793144D.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="172055" first="Chazmin" last="Bradley"] - Military Magnet </b> Bradley led the way today with 12 points in the opening round win over Wilson HS. Chazmin a left-handed guard was able to slash to the rack when she wasn't using an old school head-fake move. Bradley and Davis in the backcourt bring plenty of experience to the table for the Lady Eagles and Head Coach Nathaniel Taylor. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-366521" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/3F15CC03-009A-4455-851D-BBDB793F314C.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="171795" first="Kaelin" last="Davis"] - Military Magnet </strong> Davis a left-handed guard finished with 10 points in a lopsided win today for the Lady Eagles. Kaelin was able to finish on the break in transition when she wasn't causing pressure on the defensive end of the floor. She plays so well away from the ball and always seems to be one step ahead of the game at times. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-366447" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/59347372-4F14-4428-9BD9-3314AF2FB639.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="172192" first="Jazmyne" last="Lyde"] - South Florence HS </strong> Lyde helped her team remain unbeaten and advance to the semifinals. Jazmyne does the little things to help your team win games. Lyde not just a scorer will look to rebound the ball, defend the best player on the other team, pick-up a loose ball, come up with big pass. Jazmyne brings toughness and an unselfish style of play to the table for the Lady Bruins. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-366517" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/35BDFFC8-E0B1-4E9B-98A7-5538758F7A88.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="171788" first="Riley" last="Vincent"] - North Myrtle Beach HS </strong> Vincent is a SHOOTER. Riley is catch-shoot player for the Lady Chiefs. She connected on five three pointers in an opening round loss. Riley was highly efficient in her shot selection and shotting today. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-366450" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/D0AC82A5-4F67-4898-8866-26624723CD89.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="196311" first="Kamari" last="Thompson"] - Southside HS (Greenville)</strong> Thompson scored 12 points in the Lady Tigers opening round win. Kamari runs the floor well and remains active on both sides all game long. She has good length to alter and challenge shots at times in the paint along with picking up steals and deflections in the passing lanes. Kamari is constantly a double-double player and currently is averaging 16.8 ppg and12.2 rebounds entering the United Bank Holiday Invitational.
