Familiar names on both teams, we highlight the ones that stood out to us continuing their hot streak of play. From showing off their game IQ, competitive nature, scoring ability to defensive techniques, take a look at 5 players to keep your eyes on!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kenzie Edwards- Edwards have been on a run with her recent games scoring in double figures for her grizzlies team. Her small stature, she's been able to find gaps in the teeth of the defense to score consistently. From her contested threes to her ability to finish in the paint from a lay up to a floater, she's been getting the job done. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='539012' first='Devoriah' last='Brown']- Devoriah doing what she do best harassing her opponents on the defensive end. She does a great job of keeping everyone in front and applying on ball pressure. When you look up she is usually the first person you see ready to defend 94ft. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='398375' first='Kennadi' last='Jackson']- Jackson recently picking up her first offer and a lot of attention from teams in the MIAA, she's been doing it all for her falcon team. Jackson is at her best when she puts the ball on the floor and starts going downhill. She can get to her pull up </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='192838' first='Laila' last='Christmon']- Christmon showed against northwest that she can play with her back to the basket and get to one of her baby hooks taking advantage of the mismatches. She can also pull the defense out by knocking down the 10-15ft jump shot. She does it all in the paint for this heights team, crashing the glass every possession coming up with extra offensive possessions for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='335922' first='KaMyra' last='Barber']- Kamyra started the game out scoring Northwest first bucket and to no surprise she went to the rim and got a lay up. Barber primarily known for her shooting ability beyond the 3, she has great size and a soft touch good enough to finish at the rim with the best of them. Barber had a good summer in AAU and in the showcases, she's now capatalizing on it with her high school season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
