She has a smoothness about her, in how she cuts to the basket, glides when going in strong to the basket, and plays with confidence. Love how she plays the game – with fight, and unselfish. She finished with 13 points, and 6 rebounds.
Hannah Merritt- G, 5’7, 2022, Union Local: Merritt plays with all heart and guts. With the amount of defensive pressure put on all game, she had 1 turnover in just over 31 minutes of playtime. That’s incredible! She plays with poise, under control. Strong handles and a nice shooting touch! Hannah had 11 points.
Reagan Vinskovich Reagan Vinskovich 6'3" | SF Belmont Union | 2023 State OH – F, 6’2, 2023, Union Local: (Below, #42) I love her game, I love her footwork, how she plays physical for position and rebounds, and her moves on the block are strong! She’s the real deal. Its hard to find players at the high school level with a true inside game, and own the paint- and she does it very well! She finished with 13 points, 8 rebounds.
Darriana Alexander Darriana Alexander 6'1" | CG Cincinnati Purcell Marian | 2025 State OH – F, 6’1, 2025, Purcell Marian: (Below with basketball) If you’ve not had an opportunity to see this young lady play, you need to be at Dayton on Saturday @ 10:45am! Unreal to watch. She does it all, can shoot from anywhere. Absolute beast inside, finishes shots with ease, even when double teamed. Great handles, court awareness, connects at the charity stripe. She makes double/doubles look simple. Alexander had 19 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 assists in the game today. But her athleticism, and how she involves her teammates- completely different league of her own.
Ky’Aira Miller- G, 5’8, 2025, Purcell Marian: (Below with ball) Miller’s quickness is just on a whole different level, and a motor that is never ending! Her decision making as a freshman is fantastic, and really got her team going with strong moves to the hoop! She’s not afraid to bang inside for rebounds- she can jump! Ky’Aira finds her teammates and creates excellent shots for them. Miller had 11points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Jayda Mosley Jayda Mosley 5'7" | SG Cincinnati Purcell Marian | 2024 State OH – G, 5,8, 2024, Purcell Marian: When it comes to pure shooters, I must say, she is one of the best in the state. Period. Great shooters figure out ways to put the ball in the basket- her typical three’s weren’t dropping (although she made 2 when they were very much needed!), but boy did she capitalize with her drives to the basket! She has ice in her veins! Mosley finished with 18 points, 7 boards, 3 assists, and 3 steals. (Featured Photo, on defense)
