Adrian took the championship with a 40-33 victory over host Archie. Drexel defeated Rich Hill in the third place game. Here is a look at some of the top standouts from the WEMO Tournament.
Braylen Ford (Adrian): A 2022 forward who scored 15 points in Adrian’s victory over Archie in the championship game. She has strong post moves inside with a nice hook shot and the ability to score with both hands. He was very effective on the weak side boards and she could pass very well out of double teams.
Keara Mattingly (Archie): A 2023 guard with good length and the ability to be a creative playmaker with her ball handling skills. She had a nice spin move in the lane and a very good pull up jumper from the mid range area. She also used her length to get into the passing lanes on defense.
Emma Thompson (Archie): A 2022 point guard who handles the ball well and had a nice offensive package on the perimeter. She has 3-point shooting range with the ability to slice into the lane off the dribble. She also makes good use of fakes to free herself on the move.
Emily Wheeler (Drexel): A talented 2023 guard who scored 20 points in the third-place victory over Rich Hill. She had a nice display of shifty moves where she can go either left or right with equal effectiveness. She had a nice float game in the lane and she could also post up and score. Her passing skills were also good as she dropped several dimes to open teammates.
Kayden Coonce (Rich Hall): A 2024 forward who has a solid post game in the lane. She used her strength very effectively when she established her position inside to either score or get rebounds.
