Priya Pillai 2024 Lady Storm Breaker’s Silver (West Brook High School)
Prya is a sharp shooting guard who knocked down shots from seemingly every spot on the floor during her time on the court. Whether she was flying off screens or staying ready by spotting up in the corner, she always seems to be ready to quickly get her shot off over a defender. I loved her willingness to move without the basketball and put pressure on the defense by moving and manipulating the defense. If she can become a more dynamic ball handler and work on getting downhill to affect the game in the paint, she will become an even more valuable prospect.
Cyra Narahari 2024 Monee Makers
Cyra is a lanky guard who thrives on putting pressure on teams in the half court. She is an aware second defender who knows how to come over and trap the ball. In the full court, she runs the break hard, and always is right behind her teammate to follow their shot. I really liked watching how active she was on the glass on both ends of the court. She is tall and can see over the top of most defenses and consistently made the right reads every time down the court. I would like to see her work on moving without the basketball and focusing on getting enough space to either attack the basket or take a pull up jumper. I would also like to see her become a bit more confident with her handle.
Tierra Fields 2024 Lady Storm Breaker’s Silver
Tierra is a tall wing who runs the floor with purpose, she always seemed to be putting pressure on the defense by running in the full court and finishing at the rim. Her consistency to finish at the rim put real pressure on the interior of her opponent’s defense. I would like to see her work on becoming a better help defender and be more willing to reject shots and protect the paint. There were a few instances where she could have slid over as a help defender to help a teammate who was beat off the dribble.
Soleil Villarreal 2024 Lady Storm Breaker’s Gold
Soleil is an aggressive on ball defender who has a great feel for the game on the defensive end of the court. Whether she is stealing passes by jumping the passing lanes, or poking the ball free from her opponent’s live dribble she always seems to be running the other way to finish in the paint. She is great at moving her feet and angling her opponent into a help defender or the sideline, I was very impressed by her tenacity and scrappiness on the defensive end of the floor. On the offensive end of the court, she calmly created her own looks off the dribble at all three levels including two impressive deep three pointers.
Eunice Malave 2024 Lady Storm Breakers Silver
Eunice is an aggressive defender who always seems to have her hands in a play on defense. Her ability to keep her opponent in front of her even as they attempted to get downhill was very impressive. She calmly moved her feet and cut off angles to the rim and forced her opponents into tough shots. I loved her aggressiveness on the defensive end of the court.
