Her combination of height, length, athleticism and skill is elite as she is putting up major numbers as a Freshman and is a name that is on many college coaches radars. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221612' first='Kayla' last='Smith']</strong> (American Heritage) – 5'8 Guard</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Smith played spot minutes behind a talented American Heritage squad that is led mainly by upperclassmen.  Coming off the bench, the young lefty found opportunities to attack off the dribble and get into the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='468627' first='Jasleen' last='Green']</strong> (American Heritage) – 5'10 Guard</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":572947,"width":345,"height":431,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/12/Jasleen-Green-AH-IMG_6622.jpg?w=819" alt="" class="wp-image-572947" width="345" height="431" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Green was American Heritage primary offensive option.  The ball was put in her hands often both as the point guard and playing off the ball and getting scoring opportunities from the wing.  The young, athletic freshman is one of the most talented underclassmen in the state with a bright future ahead of her.  She uses her athleticism and length well, attacking the paint aggressively in the half court as well as in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221617' first='Ana' last='Laszewski']</strong> (Chaminade Madonna) – 5'8 Guard</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Laszewski played significant minutes on the wing for the young Chaminade squad.  She played hard and aggressive on both ends of the floor and was an effective role player, not needing the ball in her hands often.  She rebounded the ball well from the wing, gave 100% effort on both sides of the ball, and was a willing and aggressive defender.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Michael Wholey</strong> is the lead scout for Florida Prep Girls Hoop Florida and a former division one Assistant Coach at American University, University of Memphis, and Georgia Tech.&nbsp; Wholey and the rest of the Prep Girls Hoop staff, seek to cover the entire state of player, keeping subscribers up to date with player evaluations, recruiting info, and statewide news.&nbsp; Our audience often supplies us with some of our best information.&nbsp; If you have any information on players, teams, or statewide news in the state of Florida, emailing Michael Wholey at <a href="mailto:WholeyPrepHoops@gmail.com">WholeyPrepHoops@gmail.com</a> or DM him through Twitter or Instagram @WholeyPrepHoops.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
