Emma a combo guard who seems to prefer to play off the ball was knocking down shots on the perimeter. Elliott saw good minutes at the Class 5A level this past season for the Lady Wildcats. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":633176,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/198161DC-E569-4E92-B5A4-2F0135BE0F1B.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-633176" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='196266' first='Dream' last='Watson']</strong> - Military Magnet </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watson a jet quick guard who really excels in the transition game won another Class 1A State Championship this past season for the Lady Eagles. Dream constantly brings the ball pressure and a bit of chaos on the floor while playing defense. Dream will switch gears to get defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":633177,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/63B88832-F9D6-4C9C-BBC9-8079DD678891.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-633177" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='252502' first='Sabri' last='Mitchell']</strong> - Military Magnet </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mitchell an athletic wing player moves around the floor quite easily while filling the lanes in transition. Sabri does a nice job of collecting rebounds on the glass on both ends of the floor. She plays very active in the passing lanes all game long while being a rim-runner on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":635844,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/18E904C0-F157-47BF-A11B-301FAE3D97DF.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-635844" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='378101' first='Logan' last='Collins']</strong> - Lucy Beckham (Mount Pleasant)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Collins brings a tough-minded demeanor to the floor at times. She played a bit reluctant today and a bit passive on her perimeter shooting. Logan looks to absorb contact on the way to the cup by driving the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":633456,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/4607D348-B914-4CE1-B984-9876D45FEE70.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-633456" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='280466' first='Malaya' last='Mazyck'] </strong>- Wando HS (Mount Pleasant)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mazyck had a great weekend for her squad while attack the basket. She plays the game as a slasher deluxe. Malaya just a 9th grader saw plenty of action this season for the Lady Warriors at the Class 5A level. The left-handed wing player will be a name you hear around the Palmetto State in the years to come for sure and especially in the Low Country. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":633587,"width":200,"height":131,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/IMG_0787-crop-3966x2604-1681105021.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-633587" width="200" height="131" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='635480' first='Selah' last='George']</strong> - Wando HS (Mount Pleasant) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>George was a new name for us here at Prep Girls Hoops. Selah was able to connect on a few jumpers from perimeter today. She handled the ball up the floor at times for the Red, White and Blue. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":633585,"width":200,"height":131,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/IMG_0784-crop-3683x2418-1681104952.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-633585" width="200" height="131" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='635481' first='Tiana' last='Graf'] </strong>- James Island HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tiana a left-handed guard came off the bench here today.
