<p class="p1">June is is a time where athletes compete with the high schools that they may be potentially competing with in the winter.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Here are some of the 2024s that have been performing well this month.</p>
<p class="p1"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="275952" first="Lili" last="Booker"] | Cannon</b></p>
<p class="p1">Booker is so smooth handling the ball, but her best asset is definitely her defense playing aggressively to grab the steal.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She continues to expand her game all over the court going all out every minute that she plays, and she will out hustle anyone baseline to baseline.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Her quick release on her shot is difficult to defend, and she can drain it from anywhere.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She also looks for her teammates cutting to the hoop making nice dishes to them for their own points.</p>
<p class="p1"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="288412" first="Jasmine" last="Harris"] | Northern Guilford</b></p>
<p class="p1">Harris (featured photo) has such a high IQ already, and she shows that on both ends of the court.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She can anticipate passes on defense grabbing steals and taking them the other direction.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Her quickness with the ball makes it difficult for opponents to defend the basket against her because she gets by with ease.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Look for her to make some old fashioned three point plays.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Her athleticism makes it easy for her to track the ball grabbing a rebound, too.</p>
<p class="p1"><b>Skylar Adams | Northwood</b></p>
<p class="p1">Adams is smooth handling the ball showing patience when it comes to running her team’s offense.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Her ability to change speeds and increase the tempo sets her apart from other guards, though, as she pushes the ball up the court.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She finds her open teammates with ease threading the needle with impressive passes, and she can maneuver her way to the hoop for her own points.</p>
<p class="p1"><b>Courtney Taylor | High Point Christian</b></p>
<p class="p1">Taylor was tasked with guarding the best player on the opposing team, and she definitely got her rattled.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She’s quick laterally making it difficult for anyone to try to get by her, and she knows how to anticipate the next move to always be a step ahead.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She doesn’t shy away from contact when it comes to driving to get her points on the other end.</p>
