Nevertheless, she was on that initial watchlist. Still, after seeing her during the Katy Classic with her impressive Allen squad, I was just taken away by how she understood how to control the tempo and orchestrate various ways to hit her teammates for assist opportunities. She also scored from mid to long-range as well as off the dribble, body control was off the chain, but so was the hear she applied "on the ball" to create turnovers </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#26 [player_tooltip player_id='498830' first='Mariah' last='Clayton']-6'0 SF (Duncanville) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Up from #42</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clayton lit it up at <strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2022/08/top-5-championship-sunday-10th-grade-division-nbc22/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Prime Time Nationals</a></strong>, yes I find talent everywhere because I am what, a <strong><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color">REAL EVALUATOR, </mark></strong>and as I overemphasize <strong>"talent is everywhere" </strong>her show has continued with Duncanville as she just finds ways t be relative with her squad. She can take over a game by scoring in droves or she can facilitate because she handles the ball well and sees the floor. She's powerful off the dribble yet inside the paint, she's equally strong as she battles for rebounds </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#28 [player_tooltip player_id='388153' first='Jada' last='Graves']-5'4 PG (Amarillo) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Up from #48</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Graves was on one of those isolated courts when I first caught her a few years ago during club season, don't have time to look for the pictures yet watching her <strong>ISOLATE</strong> as defenders try to guard her was one of the best things I caught from the <strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/01/mansfield-spring-creek-invitational-2024-standouts-day-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spring Creek Mansfield Invitational. </a></strong>Her first step still amazes me as she can leave defenders cemented to the court but her explosiveness in the open court and throwing 25-foot passes in traffic, on the money, going full speed is very nice. Her jumper is solid, mid to long range and she defends well</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#29 [player_tooltip player_id='403581' first='Grace' last='Booth']-5'10 SF/ SG (Glen Rose)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Up from #59</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Booth can get hers "in the flow" or step in and out of the BOOTH and turn into a <strong>SUPERWOMAN. </strong>I loved watching players that find ways to put the ball into the basket. She has good size and understands how to not only create her shot under pressure but knock it down with a hand in her face, mid to long range. She's also strong and shows it around the basket as she has some nice moves to get open and scores after contact, this includes putbacks as she rebounds on both ends of the court </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#30 [player_tooltip player_id='521953' first='Eryn' last='McKenzie']-5'11 SF (Brewer)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Up from #62</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McKenzie, like her teammate Clayton, was added to the Top 100 after showing out at <strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2022/08/top-5-championship-sunday-10th-grade-division-nbc22/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Prime Time Nationals,</a></strong> and at times, she left me speechless as she scored effortlessly from both outside and off the dribble. I caught her via LIVESTREAM a few weeks ago, her size and ability to play multiple positions will be intriguing to many next-level programs because she does something they love to see, drop the midrange. She also does a good job rebounding, on both ends and defending in and outside the paint</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#31 [player_tooltip player_id='521954' first='Kamryn' last='Wilson']-5'7 CG (Mansfield Timberview) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Up from #65</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilson made the <strong>All-Tournament team at the Spring Creek Mansfield Invitational</strong>, caught bits and pieces while driving home via <strong>LIVESTREAM </strong>because they were at a different school yet low and behold, I got a<strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/01/midlothian-vs-timberview-tuesday-night-standouts/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> great look when I was stationary</a></strong> a few weeks ago. She is explosive both in the set as well as in transition and her ability to blow by defenders with either hand and finish with either hand puts her in the "nightmare to defend" category. Yes, she sees the floor, under pressure and drops the mid to long-range exploding off the court to get her shot off </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/texas/rankings/2024-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><em>Click here to view the updated 2024 Texas Rankings!</em></strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
