<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>17 16U teams composed of players from many states including Wyoming hit the four courts of Solid Rock gymnasium.

As with the all-tournament <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/04/5-make-big-friendly-16u-all-tournament-first-team/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first</a> and <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/04/16u-second-team-all-battle-in-the-big-friendly/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">second</a> teams, the third team is composed of five players. act. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Chelsie Davis</strong>, Mansfield (LA), PrimeTyme Family 2025 - Davis was among several quick, shifty ball handlers who could finish with contact. A big pile separator for me was Davis could box out. Even took an opponent under the basket and then get the defensive board. Another pile separator for a finisher, she hit her "that's what you get for fouling me" free throws regularly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sadie Meyer</strong>, 5'9", SF, Land (AR), Yanders Law 2025, 2026- Very fast with the ball, Meyer was always a threat to go end-to-end. She elevated well on rebounds and on the shot. Meyer also finished at speed with either hand. At times her handles could not keep up with her speed, but that will change with experience. Has a very solid head fake that will be that much more effective as she grows her repertoire of perimeter moves. Defenders had a consistently difficult time staying with her because she ran the floor with consistent energy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='624954' first='Callie' last='Gillespie'], 5'11", SF/PF, Resurrection Christian (CO), [program_tooltip program_id='712718' first='NOCO' last='Triple Threat'] 2025, 2025 - Gillespie showed a knack for finding seams in interior defenses and using her size and length to exploit them. A really good head and shoulder fake helps her to create shots and to drive and pass to open shooters on the opposite side. Gillespie also showed solid transition speed and herself to be a good mid-range shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ky'lin Johnson-Cooper</strong>, 5'4", PG, Booker T. Washington (OK), Banshees 2025, 2026 - There was a lot to like about Johnson-Cooper's game. With quick hands, good hops, a solid build, and perimeter shooting ability she could draw defenders away from her bigs. She would also attack close-outs on occasion and use her quick handles to create space. Defensively, the team's man and half-court trapping defense tore even the stronger teams up. Her quicks and hand speed were a big part of that game, turning opponents over again and again.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["572987"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"5'4u0022, PG, Booker T.

She played with a little bounce on the perimeter. And that little bounce spelled trouble for opponents when she caught a ball in flow on the perimeter. Catch, bounce, quick release, swish. Among the most deadly perimeter shooters by event's end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
