(Raytown South): The 6’1″ forward was a force in the low post throughout the day. She establishes position well and she can wheel and deal inside to score on a variety of moves. She can also pass the ball well out of the post is she sees a double team. She also rebounds the ball and will run the court. She will definitely be an impact player at the varsity level right away.
Millie Perry Millie Perry 5'10" | PG Liberty North | 2026 State MO (Liberty North): A talented 5’10″ guard who fit it well with her older teammates with her overall skill set and high basketball IQ. She has good playmaking skills with her ability to handle the ball and make the right pass with her court vision. She can also attack the basket well off the dribble and hit the perimeter jumper.
Jorah Parcell (Hickman): A 6’2″ forward who played in both the junior varsity and varsity divisions and she showed well in both circumstances. She utilized her size well inside to seal defenders and get excellent post position. She keeps the ball up and she uses the backboard very well to score. She also stepped out and hit a couple of perimeter jumpers which was very impressive.
Savannah Pemberton (Helias): An athletic 5’8″ guard who played very well in the junior varsity game that I watched her play in. She was constantly making plays at both ends with her athleticism and high motor. She was getting buckets with slashing drives to the basket and offensive rebounds. She was also making it happen on the defensive end with steals and a few blocked shots.
Ava Schlatzhauer (Tipton): A young forward at about 5’9″ or 5’10″ who did a nice job of fitting in with a well-established group of teammates. She has good mobility and she did a nice job of guarding in the low post She moved the ball well on offense and she could hit the Corner 3-pointer. She did a lot of things well to help her team without commanding the basketball.
Aimerie Zapien (Hickman): A young point guard who also saw action with the junior varsity and varsity teams and she held her own quite well. She has good speed and quickness and she used her burst on several penetrating drives. She also displayed a nice pull up jumper in the lane. She was also solid on the defensive end.
