January top performers

January has seen a lot amazing performances all around the Buckeye state. The list if endless, but here are a few names who caught the attention of the PGH staff this month as we head into the post season, which starts in Ohio a week from Monday. <strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-262448 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/03/Zinn-rotated-crop-431x283-1615585036-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" />[player_tooltip player_id="159366" first="Cameron" last="Zinn"], 5-10 2022, Vinton County- </strong>Great month for the multi-sport athlete. Cameron <em>(pictured left) </em>scored her 1,000th career point for a program that advanced to the state finals last season. She is a long and athletic wing who can score in a variety of ways. In her last three games alone, she has scored 42 points, 40 rebounds, 14 steals, 11 assists and six blocks. She also broke the 300 steals and 300 assists mark for her career. She is also over 800 career rebounds. She has had a great month of January! <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="280101" first="Chelsea" last="Evanich"], 5-10 2024, Alliance Marlington- </strong>She is already ranked among the PGH Class of 2024, and her stock continues to rise. Her month of January has landed her among the leaders in her area in many categories. She is currently averaging 14.6 points per game and has vaulted to the top of her area rebounding leaders at 13 per game. She has also been money from the line, shooting over 78% and is second in her area in attempts, meaning she is creating shot opportunities and finishing them at the line. <strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-297288 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/06/Henson2-rotated-crop-431x283-1623635559-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" />[player_tooltip player_id="32608" first="Claire" last="Henson"], 5-11 2022, Germantown Valley View- </strong>What a month for Henson, who now sits #2 in her school history for career points. She just passed her assistant coach for that spot. In a huge win over multiple-time state Final Four competitor Dayton Carroll, Claire <em>(pictured left)</em> dropped 31 points, three assists, five rebounds and went 10-13 from the line. In January she is averaging 21 points, 4 assists, 7 rebounds per game. She is gearing up for the post-season! <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="217339" first="Corri" last="Vermilya"], 5-9 2024, Loudenville- </strong>This kid just keeps getting better and better. She dropped 21 points with 20 rebounds  with six steals and three blocks in Loudenville’s win against Crestline, then came back with another double-double of 20/10 in another win against Rootstown. What else did she do this month? Only score 31 with 11 boards against Tusky Valley in a tough loss for her team and against Central Christian, Corri <em>(pictured above) </em>had 23 points, 13 steals, 8 boards. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="280090" first="Kylee" last="Fears"], 6-0 2023, Oxford Talawanda- </strong>Another milestone performance for a Buckeye performer, as Kylee reached her 1,000th career point as a junior for Talawanda. She became only the sixth player in school history to accomplish that. She is such a complete player, a size mismatch with a great perimeter game or can put the ball on the floor and score. Very solid next level player with a great future. He teammate [player_tooltip player_id="59745" first="Taylor" last="Farris"], also a junior, is closing on 900 points after a big month also. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="266972" first="Mary" last="Ferrito"], 5-9 2022, Plain City Jonathan Alder- </strong>She often flies under a lot of radars, but Mary is a player who has D2 interest. Plays hard in all aspects of the game, put up some big numbers for most of the month. Shooting nearly 50% from the field, very consistent from the line, outstanding passer and defender.
