I’d dare say that basketball players are the most skilled athletes on the high school level. Below are a couple of kids that show off a myriad of skills and really know how to stuff the stockings [stat sheet].
The lefty junior flirts with a triple double every night. She averages around eight rebounds a game and usually swipes about eight balls a game. She is a three level scorer that has the ability to go off for a big game- just ask the team that she clipped for 31 points.
I got a chance to see Julie in the PGH 250 and could tell that she would have a great high school season. She is a talented big (a position that doesn’t see the ball a lot in expos) that is a consistent 20 point a game scorer. She is pulling down close to ten rebounds a game; plus, the junior alternates games between having five steals (for a big is solid) or five assists. Did I mention that the kid carries a 4.0 GPA?
Lily is another 4.0 student that is a kid that scores consistently in the 15-20 range and pulls down a ton of boards. The six footer can block shots and find open players. She plays against great competition and holds her own. She recently brought home some hardware with the Cornerstone Holiday Tournament MVP.
Highlights
As a freshman, Ryan made it to the Quarterfinals; as a sophomore, she made it to the Semis. Is this the year that the midrange assassin gets to the show? Not sure, but this is the year that Ryan becomes the star of the team. She has three level ability with a smooth catch and shoot game from deep. She is a menace in passing lanes and has the ability to bully smaller wing defenders.
