The University of Whitewater recruit shows off her versatility in whichever way this Deerfield team needs. Her dominance in the paint allows her to control the boards. She confidently attacks the glass and effortlessly draws fouls. Once she gets to the line, her accuracy is astonishing. She was 10/10 at the free throw line this weekend.
Highlights
Piper Whiteman
Piper Whiteman
Piper Whiteman, the 5’7″ sophomore, is one of the unsung heroes on this Lincoln team. Piper is a versatile player and seemingly makes big plays from any spot on the floor. She is resilient and modifies her play based on what the game needs. She uses her strength to win the rebound war and her confidence to draw fouls. She is honing her skills and will be ready to lead the Lincoln team when it is her time.
The 5’8′ junior has a motor that never runs out. Her athleticism coupled with her nimble footwork makes her a threat on both sides of the court. Great court vision guides her, and she uses that to get the ball to her teammates to score. Steady ball handling and court communication are just a few skills this future Boston University soccer commit uses to dominate the court.
Danielle Ruffin
Danielle Ruffin
Danielle Ruffin is a true defender. The best part is that she can also score as well as she protects. The 5’4″ junior frustrates every guard she comes up against. She had the most steals of any 3A player during the tournament. Her defense is impressive, and her offense equates. She was the second highest scorer on her team scoring 20 in the 3rd place game. She can measure up against any opponent.
