Buckeye Breakdown- Sunday 17U Standouts Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the weekend, I got to see every 17U team play once and saw some outstanding players who shined in Columbus, Ohio. I have already looked at some of the Saturday standouts, here is part one of my Sunday players who impressed me. Part two coming shortly and the All-Tournament teams coming Tuesday!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='366781' first='McKenna' last='Baney'], [program_tooltip program_id='712435' first='Buckeye' last='State Blast'] Grey</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good perimeter shooter, nice smooth shot. Quick release and consistent. Can defend multiple positions, strong, physical kid, who can score and defend well. Moves her feet well on defense and can push baseline.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Amelia Levine, Michigan Playmakers</strong><br>A friend of mine sent me to see her game on Sunday and she really had a good showing on the second day. Ameila displays great moves, good handles and court savvy. Good physical kid and play through contact or step out and hit the three.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='217347' first='Caitlin' last='Titler'], [program_tooltip program_id='712435' first='Buckeye' last='State Blast'] Neon</strong><br>Handles the ball all well, and is a shifty guard, able to read and anticipate the game, while she has good court sense and a good basketball IQ. I love the way she distributes the ball, crisp passer and excellent court vision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='537683' first='Katey' last='Litten'], [program_tooltip program_id='714862' first='Team' last='Ohio'] Coffee</strong><br>Her game has really improved the last year, she is a strong leader with good handles, and it's like a coach on the floor. Can move well in either direction, good midrange game and defensively she can put pressure on her opponent and force mistakes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sydnee DeLong,</strong> <strong>[program_tooltip program_id='714862' first='Team' last='Ohio'] Coffee</strong><br>Very consistent shot and it comes off her hand well. Moves well, and can bust the three from all around the arc. Saw her during high school, she started as a freshman on an undefeated state championship team loaded with seniors. Her confidence should be at an all-time high, she played well Sunday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lydia Vanmetre, [program_tooltip program_id='712782' first='Richmond' last='Heat']</strong><br>Poised and calm with the ball, good handles and can push to the rim. Good body control and can draw the defense and dish. Good perimeter game behind the arc.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='218300' first='Alayna' last='Meyer'], [program_tooltip program_id='714848' first='Ohio' last='Lady Attack']</strong><br>Solid on ball defender, plays bigger than she is. Puts pressure on the defender, forces mistakes. One thing she can do is shoot the rock. Her coach told me she may be the best shooter around when she is open. She is part of a team in the OLA that is deep and talented.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
