already has a veteran savvy. She knows when to change speeds and can shift directions quickly to get defenders off balance. Jones has a low center of gravity, turning the corner and spurting into the heart of the defense. She uses a trust floater to score over length.

made a positive impression at point guard vs. the Lady Grinders. She’s a steady scorer that likes to get to the rim. She is equipped to play an up-tempo game and provided on-ball pressure in run-and-jump situations that trapped opposing guards. She put up 18 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
2023 5-7 G Sydney Smith – Bounce Nation Meg – Langston Hughes
Listed around 5-foot-7, Smith has the length and energy that makes her seem taller. She scored on putbacks, mid-range jumpers and drives as she produced 16 points, 11 rebounds and 3 steals. Smith could be a candidate for a breakout senior season which will put her on college radars.

Shoemaker did a little bit of everything in a 48-42 win. She hit open threes, facilitated and used her length to disrupt things on defense. Amelia posted 10 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. When Shoemaker is playing with confidence and in the right system, she can be very productive.
