Cate has always been a consistent scorer and shooter. Her skillset has developed and got better. She already holds multiple offers and she put up big numbers this season including a 42 point 10 rebound 5 steals. She’s pretty much a lock for the 17 EYBL team at Boo Williams! <b>[player_tooltip player_id="254947" first="Anjanae" last="Richardson"] 5’7 PG Manor</b> 8 to 10 <img class="size-medium wp-image-360629 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/3BCC0AFA-4CC2-4432-ADAA-68913B6B6662-216x300.jpeg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /> &nbsp; She was no doubt the leader of her Manor team! Anjanae is the teams leading scorer. With her quickness speed and athleticism, “AJ” is the type of player that can take over a game at any time! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <b>[player_tooltip player_id="254955" first="Amari" last="Smith"] 5’11 Wing Menchville High </b> 39-10 <span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Arguably Amari has had one of the best overall year as a player in the state. Very athletic has really good length and she can score inside or outside. She has led her team through the playoffs with some tough close games. She is now one game away from winning a state championship for her high school. Amari also picked up a couple of offers this season, with all this momentum and possibly picking up a state title it will be a big year for her this AAU season.</span> [caption id="attachment_380446" align="alignnone" width="300"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-380446" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/01/8492647B-9338-47D5-B084-BBF77884511B.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /> Photo: John Marshall[/caption] <b>6’3 Post John Marshall </b> 12-14 Last year COVID 19 wiped out Jaedyn’s basketball season. This year she followed up her all-state freshman campaign with a great year! She leads John Marshals in scoring rebounds and blocks shots. With her 6-10 wingspan she was an elite rim protector throughout the season. Jaedyn an ODU commit carried John Marshall to the semifinal game for the first time in school history but came up short. <b>[player_tooltip player_id="293237" first="Alden" last="Yergey"] 5’9 SG Team Durant </b> 13 to 30 This year Alden has quietly position herself as one of the top shooting guards in the state. At 5’9 the Siena commit already has a great college build and chica flat out shoot it. She could start the transition and pull up from three or even with a step-back shot. She is 1000 points score as a junior and she will be on a good Team Durant EYBL team this summer. <b>[player_tooltip player_id="304912" first="Kennedy" last="Harris"] 5’6 PG Hampton </b> Kennedy has continued to develop and get better off her good AAU season with Fairfax stars. As a junior, she was arguably the best player on her high school team that has some really good talent. With her quickness and ability from the point guard position to get around defenders don’t be surprised if she continues to rise in future rankings! <b>[player_tooltip player_id="307658" first="Delaney" last="Snyder"] 6’4 post I TPLS Christian Academy</b> 23 to 17 <img class="size-medium wp-image-398798 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/03/FEA1EC08-9CFE-4900-8DA3-7D31BA99B243-139x300.jpeg" alt="" width="139" height="300" /> Delaney went from not playing basketball due to COVID-19 last year to one of the emerging recruits in the state! Very long athletic and can run the floor like a deer. Her development was so good during the midseason she took over the starring role at the center position. Footwork has developed exponentially she’s an elite shot-blocker she will be one of the main focus on the FBC HAVOC AAU program this summer! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
