CITCity- more Upperclassmen

The Classic in the City was such a great event with so many good players, Prep Girls Hoops had it covered from start to finish While Angie and Haleigh continue to publish stories over the next few days, this concludes the teams I had to cover over the weekend. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="93546" first="Lexi" last="Howe"], 5-10 2023, Tri Valley- </strong>Have watched her for a few years, I have always been impressed with her overall game. One thing that really stands out to me is how hard she works. She leaves it on the court and always gives a great effort. She is a solid perimeter shooter and a smart, heady player with great range. She is long and athletic who can create off of her defense. Coaches- get her in your program! <strong>Janie McLoughlin, 5-11 2022, Tri Valley- </strong>While Howe and Krupa gets a lot of the attention for TV, Janie is a player who like Howe is long and athletic who shines as a solid defender She has active hands and is able to create turnovers to benefit her team. She has such a long wingspan, it causes issues for her opponent. She has a good basketball IQ. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="270524" first="Laila" last="Marshall"], 5-7 2022, Gahanna </strong><b>Lincoln- </b>A player who I would trust to run my transition game. She can get the ball up the floor well in an uptempo style. She possesses good handles, can distribute well in the open court and find the open player. She has great body control and can score in the paint with a variety of moves. <em>(featured photo above)</em> <strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-208676 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/96-Jordana-Codio.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" />[player_tooltip player_id="91559" first="Jordana" last="Codio"], 6-1 2022, Montverde (FL)- </strong>Made several solid defensive plays in the game I saw, and with her size is able to block and alter shots in the paint. She is explosive with a great first step to the rim and finishes well with either hand. She is disciplined and capable of creating plays for her team. <em>(pictured left)</em> <strong>Miracle Sheppard, 5-10 2023, Montverde (FL)- </strong>Very athletic and she loves to play the game fast. Can push the ball, play uptempo and run the floor well. She has great handles and a good swag for the game. She does a great job using screens, does a good job getting her teammates involved. &nbsp; &nbsp;
