At roughly 5'9, Farbes proved to raise her team's floor in large part due to her high feel for the game. Starting on the glass, the combo guard looked to play physical grabbing rebounds on both ends. The combo guard stayed assertive making accurate outlet passes through traffic during fast break situations. Within the halfcourt, she proved to be confident hitting backdoor cutters from all over floor. One area of intrigue is Farbes's shot making, where she stepped into a few threes and drained nothing but net. The junior combo guard was a knockdown shooter off the bounce, notably making a few mid-range jumpers over opposing forwards. Farbes ranks 98th in the 2024 class and 42nd among combo guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='495864' first='Jada' last='Hodges'] - Regis Jesuit - 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":503132,"width":170,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/09/IMG-1630-edited.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-503132" width="170"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hodges did a lot of those little things you need to win games, but without showing up on the box score. At 5'11, Hodges proved to defend three positions both one on one and through impactful defensive help side rotations. A fundamental athlete, Hodges made sure to box out opponents every possession, leading to at least five rebounds in the match I saw. On the offensive end, Hodges brought the team together in a myriad of ways. She stayed active as a passer, either hitting cutters from the key or shooters out of drive and kicks. Hodges possesses gravity as a driver, drawing no less than five fouls in that match. Arguably the most impactful area that will not show up on the box score came from her communication on both ends, heavily contributing to plus defensive rotations or offensive ball movement. Continuing to keep the ball high on drives should help her become a bit more efficient versus physical defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='495890' first='Lucy' last='Zamborelli'] - Palmer Ride - 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":326517,"width":258,"height":171,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/09/10-Lucy-Zamborelli.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-326517" width="258" height="171"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zamborelli made major impacts as an off-ball mover and complementary scoring threat. Standing right around 5'7, the sophomore guard stayed aggressive without the ball, looking to put pressure on the defense. She was capable relocating into jump shots or attacking the closeout should the defense press too high. Within transition, Zamborelli looked to push the pace with or without the ball. Continuing to get equally confident driving with either hand should aid in her halfcourt production. On the glass, Zamborelli fought for rebounding opportunities nearly every possession, never shying away from contact around the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='495867' first='Jaila' last='Porter'] - Doherty - 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Porter proved to be one of the grittiest guards at this event due to her physical play and assertive off-ball relocation. Standing right around 5'6, Porter made impacts as a two-way rebounder, grabbing the ball over six-footers on multiple occasions. Another facet of her game stems from her all-around offensive impact as a complementary scorer. She may relocate to the key for threes or use that gravity to drive in the paint. Within transition, Porter was consistent pushing the pace with or without the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
