Central Arkansas Top Guards In The Class of 2023

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we get closer to the start of basketball season I began to think about some of the top teams and players in the state. When looking at the class of 2023 we see a number of talented players in different regions of the state. So let's look at the top guards from the class of 2023 from the Central Arkansas region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='309616' first='Chloe' last='Clardy'] | Point Guard | Conway | 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When you commit to attend Stanford University you have to have some game. Chloe has been dominating at Conway since she was in 7th grade and playing up with the freshmen team. You could tell at a young age she had the potential to be special and she has worked to become the best player in the state and one of the best players in the country. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='306107' first='Jianna' last='Morris'] | Combo Guard | Sylvan Hills | 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jianna is a hooper. She's a talented guard that can play either spot. I feel with her skill level and talent she's still flying under the radar a bit. She committed to Louisiana Tech over the summer and she should be able to thrive and have a successful career. Jianna possesses the ability to shoot the three, get to the rim off the dribble, pass, give good effort on defense, and she brings energy and passion to the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='304739' first='April' last='Edwards'] | Combo Guard | North Little Rock | 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>April is the type of player that can do the dirty work. She would often guard the opposing team's best player, she could play either guard position, she rebounded well and gave you maximum effort. She has the body, size, and strength to get downhill and make plays in the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='442398' first='Josie' last='Williams'] | Combo Guard | Conway Christian | 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Josie recently committed to Harding University and I can tell you now they got a really good player. She definitely has division 1 skill with her ability to shoot the basketball. It doesn't matter if she spot up, on the move, in transition, or off the dribble. She's arguably the best shooter in the state because she can shoot in a number of ways and not just spotting up from the three-point line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='304737' first='Cheyanne' last='Kemp'] | Combo Guard | Morrilton | 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cheyanne is another hooper on this list. She's the type of player that can create for herself without having a play called for her. She shoots it well in the half-court behind the three-point line, create off the dribble, and is a terror in transition. In the open court is when she really excels. Her speed and athleticism makes it difficult for the defense to contain her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
