Brooke Boyce (Pattonville): The 5’9″ 2025 wing guard was impressive in all facets of the game. She is very skilled with good fundamentals and a nice feel for the game. She was hard to stop on her downhill drives to the basket and she was able to score with both hands. She was also very unselfish as she repeatedly found the open teammate for an easy scoring opportunity. She did a good job of staying in the right position defensively.
BreAunna Ward BreAunna Ward 5'10" | SF John Burroughs | 2025 State MO (John Burroughs): A 5’10” 2025 wing who showcased her excellent athleticism and versatility throughout the evening. Her defensive instincts are excellent as she could read what the opposition was doing and jump into the passing lanes for an easy steal with her length and anticipation. She is a very good slashing threat on offense with a nice mid-range jumper to compliment it. Her step back jumper on the move was really working.
Brooke Rose Brooke Rose 5'9" | CG Kirkwood | 2026 State MO (Ursuline Academy): It was my first time seeing this 5’9″ 2026 wing guard play and she was very impressive. She was one of the top perimeter shooters that I saw during the evening as she displayed a nice lefty stroke from 3-point range. She also knew how to play without the basketball as was constantly moving and getting to the open spots and was shot ready when she caught the ball.
Audrey Blaine (St. Dominic): A 5’9″ 2025 forward who has an impressive low-post game despite being undersized. She has good quickness around the basket and her footwork is excellent, which enables her to outmaneuver taller defenders. She has a variety of moves inside along with a nice shooting touch around the basket.
Alanah Howard (Cardinal Ritter): A 2026 point guard who really knows how to play the position. She is quick and her court vision was very good as she dropped some impressive dimes throughout the evening. She was hitting open cutters with some nice one-handed bounce passes and her penetrate and kick game was on point. She can also create a shot with her quickness and handles and she can hit the 3-pointer.
