<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="201850" first="Aaliyah" last="El"] | 1 of 1 Prep | 2023</b></p> <p class="p1">El is a 2023 but fits right in with some of these standouts from 2024.  She has some nice handles she uses to get around her opponents, and she isn’t scared to show off various moves in the same drive.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>She is quick on defense jumping into passing lanes, and she explodes to the hoop when scoring on fast breaks.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Her decision making sets her apart knowing when to take the ball herself or find an open teammate underneath the basket.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>When she doesn’t handle the ball in transition, she still makes sure to get back just in case there is an offensive board to grab.</p> <p class="p1"><b>Jael Poole | 1 of 1 Prep</b></p> <p class="p1">Poole showed tough defense at the top of the key making the ball handler go to their weaker side.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>She used this knowledge to handle the ball herself getting to the rim for some nice finishes.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>She is certainly quick on both ends of the court using that to her advantage to score points and defend the basket.</p> <p class="p1"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="252850" first="Sheree" last="Gidney"] | Hickory Ridge</b></p> <p class="p1">Gidney runs the floor well making sure she’s ready to catch the ball in transition to score some points.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>She can score moving with the ball on her own driving hard to the basket battling through contact for some old fashioned three point plays.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Her ability to seal off her opponents makes it easy for her to get points near the basket or even open up jump shots for her teammates.</p> <p class="p1"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="276147" first="Ella" last="Hobbs"] | 1 of 1 Prep</b></p> <p class="p1">Hobbs continues to be dominant in the paint.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>She makes effective cuts to get open, and she can seal off anyone who is tasked with guarding her.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>She showed off a nice reverse layup catching the pass in stride and putting it up with a finger tip roll through the hoop.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>There’s a reason many opponents decide to double down on her in an effort to stop her.</p> <p class="p1"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="252857" first="Delanie" last="Hill"] | 1 of 1 Prep</b></p> <p class="p1">Hill is still showing off her consistency shooting from behind the arc.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>She does a great job finding the openings on the court to show off her stroke.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>She does well controlling the tempo of the game to help her team.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Her defense was great being tasked with guarding the opponents’ best player and finding ways to strip the ball from her.</p>
