<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>(All players listed below are 2025)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Players to Watch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='319324' first='Jenna' last='Brumbaugh'], 5-7 2025, Milton Union</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Very athletic, rebounds well for her size. Attacks the basket well, great defender and floor leader at the point guard spot. Multi-sport athlete. Really had a great high school season and is a player who will continue improve as she heads into her last two years of high school. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='849193' first='Taylor' last='Wagner'], 6-0 Versailles</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Runs the floor hard, never gets tired.&nbsp; Great rebounder, excellent footwork around the rim. Good passer and very unselfish. Stock really rose with a great regional tournament. She can control the paint with good hands and finish well around the rim. I think she will be one of the better posts in the Dayton area next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Raegan Hutchison, 5-11 Waynesfield Goshen</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Strong and physical player, solid jump shooter. Has nice moves at the rim. More of a turn and jump shooter with a couple of moves. Can step out and shoot the three. Continuing to work on her defense to round out her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ayden Rodgers, 5-6 Cedarville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Very strong as she is also a power lifter. Deceptively quick and very high basketball IQ. Will do anything to help her team win, you want her on your team. Attacks the basket and can hit the midrange, likely the team best defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Sleepers to Watch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Carly Turman, 5-11 Springboro</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Excellent post moves and a high basketball IQ, excellent rebounder, great teammate. She will open up some eyes this spring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='849211' first='Elle' last='Martin'], 5-10 Wilmington</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Battled injuries this past season but looks to make some noise now that she is working back to full strength. Great at getting to the rim, big strong build and can knock down the perimeter jumper. Fundamentally sound.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brooke Clear, 5-3 Springboro</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Excellent shooter who is quick with good handles. Plays on a high school team who captured the GWOC with no seniors in the starting lineup. Hoping to have a summer of growth on the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='319320' first='Amiel' last='Jones'], 5-10, Wayne</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A wing who is a floor general even though she is not a point guard, slasher who can knock down the three point shot. Uses her athleticism to help her game. She saw growth this past season and looks to continue to improve in all aspects of her game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Schedule Highlights</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WPA Bruins Classic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>USJN Windy City in Milwaukee</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>USJN Premier NIKE Tournament of Champions – Chicago</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>USJN Nationals Washington DC</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
