Ashlynn Galvin 2023 5’6 Jim Ned High School, TX (Texas Platinum 2023 Bates)
Ashlynn is a sharp shooter who does a bit of everything on the court to help her team win. She is a high energy player who is always ready to punish the defense on the catch from the wings and the corners. Her ability to play on the perimeter allows the rest of her team more space to roam and attack the defense. I was very impressed with the ease in which she scored from the outside, and how quick she got shot opportunities up over her defender. I loved the hustle and energy she displayed on both ends of the court, she was not afraid to be moving from sideline to sideline to defend her opponent as well as going after long rebounds. I would like to see her work on her overall confidence with the ball and get into the teeth of the defense with a live dribble.
Malory Dougharty 2023 SETX Elite Blue (Evadale High School)
Malory is a heads up player who always seems to make the right play whether that is the right pass or by moving without the basketball to manipulate the defense. Her ability to pass her teammates open in the full court is a real weapon and allows her teammates easy opportunities in the lane. She is an aggressive help defender who always seems to come over at the right moment to affect the play. She always comes screaming in on the weak side to affect the play by keeping her arms up and cutting off passes outside and forcing her opponent into a tough look.
Ashton Reynolds 2023 SETX Elite Blue (Beaumount High School)
Ashton is an intelligent player who is willing to do all of the dirty work on both ends of the court. She has a good frame, with an ability to defend multiple positions, but also make a difference in the paint. She has a soft floater she can get to in the lane, and really uses it well to create a shot angle over a bigger defender. Her consistency in the paint allows her to affect the game on the perimeter as well, she loves getting downhill and putting pressure on the defense. She is also a good outlet passer, who always seems to put her pass in a good spot to where her teammate can catch it, and just out of reach of her defender.
Leissel Gonzalez 2023 Lady Storm Breakers Gold (Brazoswood High School)
Leissel is an aggressive player on both ends of the court who is not afraid to punish you in the paint on offense and rip the ball away from you on the defensive end of the court. She is active on the perimeter, and thrives in playing the passing lanes, even as an on ball defender. She sneaks back and gives her opponent enough room to think she is relaxed and then leaps up to steal an entry pass into the post. She is a dynamic player with a live dribble who showed a real ability to turn the corner on any defender and get into the paint. I was really impressed with her ability to put pressure on the defense in the lane, whether she was going to the free throw line or finishing at either side of the rim.
