The 6' forward has continued to progress as a shotmaker under pressure, getting to her mid-post fadeaway to a greater volume. Her overall efficiency as a shooter will play a key role in her offensive upside, given that she already has the ball skills and vision to capitalize inside the arc. Defensively, Roffle matches up with multiple positions while playing big in the paint, stuffing incoming drivers. Through the senior's season for 15-10 Eaglecrest, she posted 10.7 points, 5 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='329359' first='Olivia' last='Towns'] - Palmer Ridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":326460,"width":250,"height":147,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2021/09/126-Olivia-Towns.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-326460" width="250" height="147" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Towns maximizes her diverse post-heavy skillset to create efficient looks all over the floor. At roughly 6'3, Towns does her part to find baseline cutters while searching for opportunities along the high post. Should the double not approach, the forward is adept backing down her opponent for a short post hook. Not to mention she has been a block machine, either meeting drivers at the rim or stuffing shooters from the perimeter. Committing to Western Colorado, Towns will be in good shape following her dominant season, putting up 7.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='493000' first='Fiona' last='Snashall'] - Holy Family</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":277249,"width":236,"height":157,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2021/04/Fiona-Snashall-scaled.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-277249" width="236" height="157" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Snashall came up big for Holy Family's championship victory to win the 4A title, providing legitimate two-way impact. The 6'1 wing is a valuable defensive piece, capable matching up with both forward spots while showing comfortability switching onto backcourt positions. She is notably mobile helping onto drives, alongside her acute timing going for blocks or intercepting the passing lanes. The future Regis Ranger had herself a productive season, putting up 11.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 3 steals, and 3.1 blocks while converting 39% of triples. The forward will fit in like a glove for the top program in the RMAC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='495921' first='Sarah' last='Chick'] - Salida</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":504450,"width":236,"height":157,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/09/145-Sarah-Chick.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-504450" width="236" height="157" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chick solidified herself as a moldable defender for Salida, being prepared for help side rotations at all times. The future Fort Lewis Skyhawk will be an impactful interior defender, largely thanks to her buying into the fundamentals. For example, Chick always closes out with high hands, doing her best to shade opponents towards baseline. Through her senior season, Chick has put up 7.9 points, 8 rebounds, and 3.7 blocks per game. Among her accolades is 86 blocks, a new record for Salida, previously at 60. Continuing to develop the standstill jump shot will be area of development moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='318873' first='Amelia' last='Rosin'] - Monarch</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rosin was one of the most impactful players through Monarch's playoff run, through her interior motor and excellent awareness. The 6'1 power forward does especially well filling open lanes, using her awareness to create highly efficient shot attempts around the rim. Through her season for the 6A finalists, Rosin has posted 11.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game while converting 50% of two point attempts. Rosin proved herself as one of the best rollers in the class, due to her methodical downhill pace to effectively mirror the ballhandler. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
