Sweet Hoops Fall League 2027 Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops Missouri takes a look at the Class of 2027 standouts from our recent visit to the Sweet Hoops Fall League at Lift for Life Academy on Sept. 25.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='791650' first='Daisa' last='Scott'] (Ladue Middle): The 6'0" post player is one of the top prospects in the Class of 2027. She played in both the middle school and high school divisions and she is productive in both. She is strong and physical inside, yet she has a nice finesse game with her footwork and shooting touch around the basket. She also handles the ball on the perimeter and can step out and knock down the 3-pointer. She is good for a double-double every time she steps on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Amaya Manuel (Lift for Life): A talented point guard who was impressive in both the middle school and high school division games. She is a very confident offensive player who showcased slick handles and the ability to score at all three levels. She was breaking down defenders off the dribble and pulling up to hit 3-pointers. You wouldn't know that she was an eighth grader the way she was getting buckets against the high schoolers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cara Manuel (Lift for Life): Another talented point guard who is Amaya's twin sister and also very skilled with the ball in her hands. She has excellent playmaking skills with her ability to pass and handle the ball. She can also go and get a bucket from all three levels. She delivered some point passes while also scoring on some strong takes to the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1121320' first='Rian' last='Lennox'] (Lift for Life): A 5'9" forward who played in the high school division and had a very productive game. She was very active around the basket as she was battling taller and older players. She was very good from the high post as she hit short jumpers and could drive to the basket. She rebounded the ball very well and she was finishing through contact in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1121325' first='Saudia' last='Brock'] (Lift for Life): A solid small forward who was very solid inside with her strength and active motor. She scored on some tough drives to the basket and she was an excellent rebounder who was very good at getting out of her area to corral boards. She has a quick jump on the offensive boards and a quick first step on her drives to the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
