Program Preview: BC Denver

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>AAU season in upon us which means Team Previews are in full swing. In this article I'll be taking an in-depth look at [program_tooltip program_id='712413' first='BC' last='Denver'] a club that has started to this a huge splash on the club scene recently. I'll be breaking down 15U-17U, from players to watch, standouts and names to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>17U Roster</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='216654' first='Malorie' last='Byrne'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alex Ridennour 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='643714' first='Hayley' last='Luther'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jennifer Atlshuler 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='643721' first='Kayleigh' last='Jones'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='329402' first='Anya' last='Pep']er 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Payton Pack 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='327648' first='Danielle' last='Washington'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A name on this roster I noticed immediately was [player_tooltip player_id='643714' first='Hayley' last='Luther']. I have been intrigued by the way she was able to play in high-pressure moments this past season and has me excited for what's to come this summer. She is capable of scoring in plenty of different ways that will keep the defense guessing. To add the hype is this squad also has Alex Ridennour, [player_tooltip player_id='643721' first='Kayleigh' last='Jones'], [player_tooltip player_id='329402' first='Anya' last='Pep']er, and Payton Pack. This group of girls all have different components to their game that makes them intriguing. They're able to handle the ball when needed and also&nbsp;knockdown the 15-footer. Guards, [player_tooltip player_id='327648' first='Danielle' last='Washington'] and Jennifer Atlshuler are two players that you don't want to play against when it's winning time as both have no problem rolling their sleeves and fighting for what is there's.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>17U Roster</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='495820' first='Alexie' last='Hernandez'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='329395' first='Zaraiyi' last='Garcia'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='671388' first='Macayla' last='Stark'] 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sienne Siskowski 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Madyn Kassalyt 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caroline Philps 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kaylee Gardber 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rosters like this don't really jump out at you when you first look at it, mainly because you don't see a lot of big-name kids. This is exactly why this team will be just fine unlike other teams they don't have to deal with the pressure of giving the ball to a certain player in crunch time. Players like [player_tooltip player_id='329395' first='Zaraiyi' last='Garcia'] and Kaylee Gardber won't have a problem taking on the scoring load when called upon. This guard and big combo could become a big thing this summer. Madyn Kassalyt, Sienne Siskowski and [player_tooltip player_id='495820' first='Alexie' last='Hernandez'] will be X-Factors as they use this summer to boost their stocks. [player_tooltip player_id='671388' first='Macayla' last='Stark'] and Caroline Philps could be the most dangerous players on this team providing a spark on the offensive end of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>16U Roster</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='374162' first='Olivia' last='Mortensen'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='495924' first='Sydney' last='Deem'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='879258' first='Alicia' last='Barajas'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Annabella Kenny 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='584842' first='Janay' last='Kravig'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='374107' first='Zoe' last='Wittler'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='356499' first='Jada' last='Hodges'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='423967' first='Iliana' last='Greene'] 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Izzy Spangnoletti 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just by the look of this roster, you can tell that this team will have a lot of success this summer. It has everything you need to win high-level games. With [player_tooltip player_id='423967' first='Iliana' last='Greene'], [player_tooltip player_id='374107' first='Zoe' last='Wittler'] and [player_tooltip player_id='879258' first='Alicia' last='Barajas'] in the backcourt, you know you have high IQ guards that will make a difference on both ends of the floor. Greene especially has a flare to her girl game that most girls don't have, she is shifty and can have her way with defenders. [player_tooltip player_id='495924' first='Sydney' last='Deem'] and Annabella Kenny give this team toughness in the paint that will be hard to match from night to night. Mostly because of how hard these two kids play. What I like most about this team is the combination of [player_tooltip player_id='356499' first='Jada' last='Hodges'], Izzy Spangnoletti and [player_tooltip player_id='584842' first='Janay' last='Kravig']. Three players have a lot more to their games than what they've been able to show the last couple of years. So being on a team like this look for these players to make a name from themselves this summer. Last but certainly not least is Olivia Morensen the double-double machine, she is able to outwork and outsmart opposing players making the game very easy for her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>15U Roster</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='901885' first='Paige' last='Gilpatrick'] 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>EJ Harper 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='684326' first='Abby' last='Turk'] 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bria Taylor 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reagyn Allen 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lalia Frazier 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='471053' first='Sydney' last='Ramirez'] 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maya Pears 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jordan Ellerington 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a bunch of young guns that will be ready to turn themselves into household names after this summer is over.&nbsp;&nbsp;Looking to return to their high school teams ready to compete for key roles on the team next season. The makeup of this 15U team is built to battle with the best of them they have two player 6'0 and up in Maya Pears and [player_tooltip player_id='901885' first='Paige' last='Gilpatrick'] we will demand the ball in the post, leaving guards like Jordan Ellerington and [player_tooltip player_id='471053' first='Sydney' last='Ramirez'] open to knock down wide open shoots. EJ Harper and Reagyn Allen give this team the ability to play small ball and allows these two to draw slower bigs onto the wings to clear out the paint for iso plays. Lalia Frazier, Bria Taylor, and [player_tooltip player_id='684326' first='Abby' last='Turk'] will act as swiss army knife players that are able to do a little bit of everything depending on the game</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
