Lead guard that control the pace of the game and get teammates involved. Unselfish player that puts the success of her teammates over hers. Skilled guard with creative handles and explosive speed to attack the gaps and push the ball. She is quick to advance the ball ahead and feed her teammates. When she gets the ball back, she has good sense of what the other team is doing and make adjustments like a quarterback would on the fly. She is an underrated shooter that can shoot it in bunches from deep and she is starting to attack and finish at the rim through contact.
A polished player that gets to her spots offensively and can score in multiple ways, Controls the pace of the game and has the green light but plays within her team and shares the ball. Smooth off the dribble, and has a variety of attack options when the ball is in her hands. She can stroke the shot from long-range and create space in the mid-range. She will also post up smaller defenders and score over the top.
Dominant player on every area on the court. Defensive intensity and quick instincts is a given with Stailee. She intimidates with her presence, long arms, and her overall lateral quickness on and off the ball. She bullied her way off the glass and in the paint, scoring over, through and around defenders with ease in the first game vs Pocola. She is strong and thrives when playing physical. She creates off the dribble and has high-level play making ability.
Long Forward with a lot of skills. She is a presence at the rim on defense and protects it well. She has a strong mid-range game – at the free-throw-line and elbow and controls space well, attacks strong off the dribble and does a good job drawing the foul and is a great free-throw shooter. Shot blocker, strong rebounder, and will push the ball in the open break. She is a competitor and looked comfortable in every position on the court: Off the dribble, posting up in the paint, and on defense. Solid player, that requires a double team or even triple team. She handles that type of pressure like I have never seen before. She stayed patient and kept working.
Is a supreme 3-point shooter. When she gets going, she will not miss. Feet are set, hands ready and her release is lethal. She outscored Okarche in the first half with 24 points – shooting 6 for 8 from 3-point range and couple finishes at the rim. When she smells blood in the water, she is relentless and in attack mode on both ends of the floor. When she sets in her mind, she is a phenomenal rebounder because of her mentality. She continued the remainder of the tournament shooting at a high-level as expected. A top 3-point shooter in Oklahoma, if not the best shooter.
Maddi is a solid all-around player. She makes an impact on both ends of the floor. She hustles for loose balls, rebounds, she is a ready shooter and will find the open teammate. She is a poised player that doesn’t seem fazed when the pressure is on, remains cool, calm and collected. She has a high-basketball IQ, and to be a freshman she held her own and competed against some of the best talent in the state. She is mature and takes care of the ball.
