Wing</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":331238,"width":265,"height":176,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large

/wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Oskarsdottir is a tall, skilled wing that showcased an ability to knock down 3-pointers.  She had a big second half, providing a spark and much needed offensive to turn the game around for Lake Highland Prep. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph

{"align":"left","id":572960,"width":393,"height":391,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img

wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Blue body has filled out, having grown 1-2 inches and putting on 10+ pounds since I have last seen her.  She is stronger and a more well-rounded offensive player who had nine points in the second half, including knocking down two 3-pointers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Chloe Sotell</strong> (Montverde Academy) – 5'11 Wing</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Sotell came off the bench getting spot minutes form the wing position on a very talented Montverde squad.  She will be one of the teams go-to players for the next few years but has a very talented Senior class that gets a bulk of the minutes.  I want to see her play more, to get a better idea of her skill level and potential.      </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='217668' first='Gianna' last='Corbitt']</strong> (Blanche Ely) – 6'1 Wing</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Corbitt played mainly forward and center, knocking down high post jumpers.  After missing significant court time, this was the first time seeing her play 100% healthy.  The forward / center role was a new position for her than I have previously seen her play.  She has a big, strong frame and is versatile in being able to play multiple perimeter and post positions.  She did not get a chance to showcase her athleticism and versatility in a manner that I have seen her previously, but it was great to see her healthy and moving well on the court.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='314541' first='Wesleigh' last='Ferguson']</strong> (IMG Academy) – 6'1 Wing</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":420381,"width":251,"height":189,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large

/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ferguson played spot minutes for IMG Academy, coming off the wing, getting a couple minutes each half.  The young wing has a big upside.  Need to see her play more.  She will have an increased role as she gets older but could potentially grow into a larger role as the season progresses.  Her 6'1 frame is intriguing as she has the potential to be an impact player.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!--
