Demetrius Richardson Memorial Showcase – 2024 Standouts

[player_tooltip player_id="349275" first="Jakai" last="Peterson"] 2024 G <strong> (pictured on left)</strong>  is just athleticism off the page and in an open court game she flourishes. Her speed and athleticism  were unmatched in he 2024 game.   Peterson can get buckets in a hurry and in many ways.    She can score driving to the basket on the left and right side, and she also has a very good midrange game.   Peterson also plays well on defense.   She moves laterally with ease and  plays the passing lanes very well.   Peterson  also rebounded the ball very well from the guard position. Jonice Barcene 2024 G<strong> (pictured on right) </strong> was really impressive at the showcase.   Her handles were probably the best on the court, and her ability to get to the rim was the strongest part of her game.  In the showcase, she was effective in shooting from all three levels on the court.  She did a good job making plays out of the pick and roll game - passing and shooting.   Barcene was effective getting to the rack on the left and right sides.   She shot six free throws as a result of her aggressive drives to the basket. [player_tooltip player_id="248345" first="Clare" last="Coyle"] 2024 F  was really impressive at the Showcase.   She rebounded well and scored on the inside.  Coyle is a workhorse on the court.   She does a great job in the paint and has an array of moves to create scoring opportunities for herself and her teammates.   Coyle ran the floor well in the transition game. She filled the lanes and  also also handled the ball during transition at times.    She  does a good job of passing to  open shooters when she doesn't have a shot.   Coyle brings energy and toughness for the entire game. [player_tooltip player_id="217663" first="Sydney" last="Roundtree"] 2024 F showed a lot of versatility during the Showcase.  She is another player whose athleticism jumps off the page.   She made some great  athletic defensive plays in the open court.   She stole one pass and took it to the rack for a score and on another steal, she tossed a full court pass to an open teammate for a score.  Roundtree did an excellent job of rebounding and scoring in the paint.   What’s impressive about Roundtree is her ability to defend on the wing and in the painted area. [player_tooltip player_id="219923" first="Kiara" last="Williams"]  2024 F was solid all game long showing a nice  all around game.   She was a force on the inside.   She scored consistently in the paint and also had some had some nice mid-range jumpers in the paint and on the baseline.   Williams also showed the ability to get to the basket for some easy buckets.   She was just as impressive on defense,  recording  several blocked shots in the contest.    Williams was also very strong on the offensive and defensive boards.  She was one of the most dominant players on the court. [player_tooltip player_id="349274" first="Ella" last="Stakem"] 2024 G.  Stakem was solid as usual on the perimeter.   She hit some long-range bombs and a clutch three-pointer to ice the game.   Stakem is not shy about pulling the trigger anywhere on the court.   She does a good job of handling the ball and has a good midrange and float game to compliment her three point shooting. Gabriel Bush 2024 G/SF showed some versatility on the court.  She had a nice shooting touch from behind the arc and showed an ability to drive to the basket.  For a  guard,  Bush has nice length and will be a matchup problem for smaller guards. Amy Manzano 2024 G  had some nice moments  during the show case.  Manzano showed a good shooting touch and was also able to drive to the basket and score on the inside.
