Her speed and quickness and tenacity were so evident that it looked like there were two of her on the court. He did a nice job of picking up opposing ball handler in the backcourt and providing good on ball pressure. She was excellent in the open court and was very effective scoring on dribble penetration in the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":512779,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/09/54-Miya-Nieto-1024x685.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-512779"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='509647' first='Miya' last='Nieto'] (Kickapoo): The 5'7" 2023 guard is a smooth offensive player who plays the game in an old-school manner. She moves at her own pace and she gets where she wants to go without being sped up. She has a very effective mid-range jumper off the bounce. She also moves well without the ball to get to the open spots on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":512774,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/09/45-Amelia-Beer-1024x685.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-512774"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Amelia Beer (Mater Dei): A 5'10" 2026 forward who has good mobility and a versatile skill set. She is very effective around the basket offensively, but she is also very good on the drive as she attacked the basket very well. Her change of pace on the dribble was also very effectiveness. She also had a nice shooting touch from the baseline. She was also a very active rebounder who also got to loose balls with her hustle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":512744,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/09/11-Lola-Morton-1024x685.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-512744"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='509646' first='Lola' last='Morton'] (Parkway North): A 5'7" 2026 point guard who is a solid playmaker with her ball handling and passing ability. Her fundamentals were good and she was never in a hurry when she had the ball. She handled pressure pretty well and delivered some nice passes on the move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":512775,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/09/46-Mia-Semith-1024x690.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-512775"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mia Semith (Edwardsville): A 5'10" 2026 forward from the Illinois side who did a very solid job in the low post as a scorer and rebounder. She finished well in the paint and she also knocked down a few baseline jumpers from 12 to 15 feet. I was also impressed with her ability to rebound and get out of her area. She was very active and got to the right spots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":512762,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/09/29-Loghann-Leivan-1024x685.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-512762"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Loghann Leivan (Miller): A 5'8" 2026 forward who was very strong around the basket. She was a tough rebounder who went up and grabbed the ball with two hands. She was also a very effective player inside when she was able to post up. When facing the basket, she could also attack the basket very strong to finish in the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":499699,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/09/Ava-Vanacek.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-499699"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='351753' first='Ava' last='Vanecek'] (Webster Groves): A 5'8" 2026 guard who has a very solid offensive game from all three levels. She displayed a nice stop and pop jumper from the mid-range and she can also knock down the 3-pointer. She also plays well without the ball and she keeps the offense flowing with her passing and fundamentals on offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":512777,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/09/52-Addy-Gray-1024x685.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-512777"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='509635' first='Addy' last='Gray'] (Norwood): A 5'2" 2026 point guard who was very good at distributing the basketball. She handled the ball well and delivered some nice passes from different angles. I also liked how she was passing the ball into the low post, which is a lost art.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
