<p>I've dropped close to 30 from this division alone but guess what, even more, will be coming under <strong>Simmie's Standouts </strong>however right now, here is the <strong>All-Tournament Squad</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='335953' first='SaMiyah' last='Ellis']-5'7 G (Kansas Bluejays 2024) 2025</strong></p>

<p>Ellis has SWTB and watching her blow by defenders in the open court keeps getting better. She also does a good job of not only handling the ball under pressure, but her crisp passes in traffic are also very n[program_tooltip program_id='712549' first='Ice' last='']. She creates her shot and drops the mid to long-range while being defended and on the flip, her "on the ball" pressure is smothering and causes turnovers galore</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='403855' first='Amelia' last='Rogers']-5'8 G (Hoop Life 2024) Hot Springs Lakeside [2024] AR</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rogers understands how to set the defender up in a variety of ways and her deceptive first step or using the slight HEZ gives her options because she can handle the ball with either hand while attacking the basket and used good body control to help her finish, after contact. She also saw the floor, in the set, in the open court, and even off the dribble</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='309986' first='Seleh' last='Harmon']-5'10 G ([program_tooltip program_id='716211' first='Team' last='Griffin'] 2024 E40 Owens) Norman North [2025]</strong></p>

<p>Harmon can score however she wants and almost whenever she wants. She's long and athletic, which is the base and she has UPS which means she not only elevates on her jumper, which she drops mid to long range but also over defenders around the basket whether it's on putbacks or attacking off the dribble. She rebounds, on both ends and does a good job defending </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='510469' first='Kennedy' last='Simpson']-5'9 G ([program_tooltip program_id='715312' first='Houston' last='Lady Nets'] 2024) Summer Creek [2026]</strong></p>

<p>Simpson continues to add something to her game. Her playing up and excelling speaks volumes but she's also long and athletic and is on the verge of being able to control games offensively and here's why. She can handle the ball yet is also explosive off the dribble and her acrobatic finishes are special. She also drops the mid to long range, with a hand in her face, or drops the stop and pop in transition. She sees the floor very well, plays on the ball defense as well as the passing lane </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='403581' first='Grace' last='Booth']-5'11 G ( [program_tooltip program_id='713388' first='West' last='Texas [program_tooltip program_id='712750' first='Shock' last='']ers'] 2024) Glen Rose [2024]</strong></p>

<p>Booth left me speechless at times when I caught her on the PGH Circuit last season and the more I watch, the more she shows. She's one of those "you won't outwork me" types of players, whether it's battling for rebounds or loose balls on the floor, she's on it. She's also on her man, baseline to baseline yet watching her score after contact off the dribble and dropping the mid to long-range always grabs my attention </p>
