Photo: Prep Girls Hoops.[/caption][player_tooltip player_id="170611" first="Charlie" last="Broaden"], 6’1", SF/CG, St. Joe Central (MO), KC Royalty 2023, 2023 - Broaden is very effective working in the screen game.  While she can move into space in the half court game what she is also effective in is in the high screen game.  After setting solid screens she is a major threat to hit the screen and pop three ball. [player_tooltip player_id="249267" first="Allison" last="Heathcock"], 5’11", SF, Edmund North,Team Buddy Buckets 2023, 2024 - Long, fast, quick, and smart Heathcock is a threat to score from inside, outside, and in transition.  Where she especially lite up opponents was from beyond the arc.  She will bury them off the catch, off half-court defense dribble through, and in transition. [player_tooltip player_id="261716" first="Cooper" last="Hilton"], 5’6", SG, Coweta, Oklahoma Swift 2023, 2023 - Hilton’s quick release out of the half-court offense is tough to get to.  And a defender loses her when she drifts to a corner...cash.

Defenders also need to look her up from the perimeter.

[player_tooltip player_id="318207" first="KK" last="Peeler"], 5’2", PG, Edmund North, Team Buddy Buckets 2023, 2024 - Peeler is a player that must be defended in space away from the ball, on the ball, and off the dribble.  A solid mid-range and perimeter shooting threat what makes her especially dangerous is her quick release.

[player_tooltip player_id="206730" first="Alana" last="Zarneke"], 6’0", SG, Kaukauna, Wisconsin Blaze 2023 Inferno, 2023 - Zarneke’s play in a tough battle with eventual semi-finalist Team Buddy Buckets sold me.  The trio of three pointers I saw her make were quickly release, good decision shots out of the offense and off transition spot ups. &nbsp; <em>Featured image: Edmund North and Team Buddy Buckets 2024 [player_tooltip player_id="241014" first="Kate" last="Melton"].
