<p>This game was highly anticipated as it was announced earlier in the week. It would prove to be a marker for where both teams are at this stage of the preseason. Several players seen before were able to crank it up to another level and where very impressive. Here are some of the standouts of the game.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='293230' first='Makayla' last='Jackson'] l 5-9 l Wing l Bullis l 2023</strong></p>

<p>Makayla is a strong powerful wing that seeks contact. She had players bouncing off of her as she attacked the basket in transition. She is fast and can handle the ball well. She also has 3 point range.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='299818' first='Aliyah' last='Eason'] l 5-3 l Point Guard l Riverdale Baptist l 2024</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Aliyah handled the point guard duties well getting everyone in position and distributing the ball. She is an aggressive scrappy defender that is disruptive with her low stance.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='319248' first='Tayla' last='Perry'] l 6-2 l Wing l Riverdale Baptist l 2023</strong></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tayla used her length and athleticism attacking and flying through the lane to the basket. She had some nice finishes at rime level. She played fast but stayed under control. If she plays to her potential like she did at times today she will have a huge season.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='319239' first='Yanniah' last='Boyd'] l 5-10 l Wing l Riverdale Baptist l 2023</strong></p>

<p>Known for her slashing and her sister for her shooting, Yanniah showed that she can also shoot the ball knocking down a couple of three's the go with some nice finishes.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Cameron Spinner l 6-1 l Wing l Bullis l 2024</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cameron is a really good rebounder and easily was in double figures in that category. She is okay putting the ball on the floor as she gets the board and pushes it on her own. She has a nice college frame and the size desired at the next level.</p>

<p><strong>LaBria Carter l 6-1 l Wing Bullis l 2026</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Impressive size and skill for a freshman. She is very effective with the ball getting to the basket. At times she looked to force things as her team was trying to come from behind. As she learns to pick her spots and allow the game to flow she will be a huge impact player at the high school and eventually college level.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='319252' first='Janiya' last='Ennis'] l 5-2 l Point Guard l Riverdale Baptist l 2024</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Janiya was an impressive surprise showing off her trick dribbles and vision at the point. She had the most impressive play of the day as she froze two defenders in the lane and went around them for an easy layup.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Yanessa Boyd l 5-8 l Guard l Riverdale Baptist l 2024</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In a roll reversal with her sister, Yanessa had some nice moves in the lane and was able to create openings to get her shots off and finish against multiple taller defenders. She also showed off her signature shooting in the win.</p>
