Lexie Rucker
Has a silky shot from all areas near the 3-point line and is reliable from beyond the arc. She is a huge offensive menace who is capable of scoring in a number of different ways. Her long and agile body allows her to rebound effectively, while her wingspan causes problems for her opponents. Great body control and is in the right place at the right time.

Played a significant role in Wheelersburg’s victory over Goshen as a member of a leadership group with a lot of seniority. I like how she distributes the ball to the appropriate areas, as well as how knowledgeable she is on the court. She made back-to-back threes in a late-game tight game to tie it for her team, which they went on to win. She is a clutch player who can get the job done.
Her capacity to connect with the three is what first springs to mind. She enjoys the corner and hits over 37% from three! A very powerful tool for her team. With or without the ball in her hands, I like her focus and work ethic. She is a good defender and has good agility. On the ball, she uses her hands to do things. possesses a floater as well, which she can use to get beyond the paint.

Makes a swift initial halt and attacks the hoop with a strong ability. A great shooter with a high 3-point percentage. She plays above the press with a broad wing spread and receives many deflections. Although unnoticed, this kid can play!

She has outstanding footwork around the rim and is one of the top players in her conference. Soft touch around the rim and shows confidence in her play. Strong, athletic youngster with a multitude of ways to score. Can score from any spot on the arc and has a good 3-point range. Also, an excellent midrange pullup jumper. She is a team leader in assists thus she can effectively pass the ball.
