She has proven that she can consistently knock down the deep ball and is a consummate floor general. Her ability to drive gaps and create for others is another special part of her game, getting teammates great shots. If Colonial plans to make a deep run in the playoffs, Santos will be a major factor in that success. [player_tooltip player_id="248263" first="Karishma" last="Ortiz"]-5’8"/CG -Timber Creek HS - Ortiz is a long guard that has shown versatility throughout the high school season. She is a young multifaceted scorer that uses all three levels of the floor. She is a very good rebounder from the guard spot, and has the ability to finish through contact. If Ortiz can continue to be consistent during this playoff run, Timber Creek is in for some excitement. [player_tooltip player_id="244138" first="Jhaid" last="Westbrook"] - 5'8"/CG-Spruce Creek HS- A transfer from DME, Westbrook has helped a Spruce Creek team to a 19-6 record in her senior season and has been a calming presence at the point guard position for this team. Her mid-range game and screen and roll decision making are two of the most intriguing parts of her game. If teams go the way of the point guard, Spruce Creek looks primed leave their mark on the playoffs.

She has proven that she can defend multiple positions and isn’t likely to get pushed around. Her three point shooting has improved in her sophomore season. Her ball handling has also improved allowing to attack gaps and get into the teeth of defenses. Ponte Vedra will need Chappell to bring her "A" game right from the start of these playoffs. [player_tooltip player_id="91590" first="Kamryn" last="Bullock"] -5'11"/F - East River HS - Bullock has one of the purest set shots I’ve seen live. At 5’11", she has the ability to set her feet and get her release off in no time at all. Her great frame gives her the advantage both offensively and defensively as she is not likely to get moved off her spot. Her deep ball is the most consistent part of her game, but her mid-range skillset should not be overlooked. East River has a real leader on their squad and if she brings her game, they look poised to make a solid run this year.
