Film Room: Fourth Edition

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Twitter, I asked for some highlights and full games to watch over, and I have more than enough to go through starting tonight. I'll start with the individual ones sent to me to give me time to watch through some of the complete games sent my way. No idea how long this will take, but I'll have two articles up tonight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='529355' first='Hailey' last='Testolin']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Playing with elite talent isn't easy, but all the McFarland kids found a niche and excelled within that role all year. Testolin used her length on the defensive to make opposing guards uncomfortable, and she did an excellent job getting her hands on the ball defensively. Her size and IQ defensively are probably the best aspects of her game because what she does on that end will get her on the floor. On the other end, she has more touch than I realized around the rim, and her confidence in taking reverse layups was not something I saw the few times I saw her play for McFarland. After a few graduations this spring, I see no reason she can't step into a more prominent role this coming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kaitlyn Sedillo</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I like how well-rounded and fundamentally sound Sedillo's game is as a lead guard. Sedillo does an excellent job setting the pace of a game, and it's in more subtle ways than pulling the ball back in transition or sprinting to the rim. She moves the ball fast, makes quick decisions, reads the defense, makes the right decisions with the ball, and is one of the best communicators I've seen in High School or AAU. Sedillo does a solid job getting the most out of her teammates while being her best self. Wherever she goes, she'll win games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='406103' first='Elyse' last='Wendler']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wendler's size and range jump off the screen. The Tosa West wing also crashes the boards aggressively. Her length helps her get to loose balls before most kids, and it looks like she wants the ball when it comes off the rim. She's a kid I haven't talked about a ton, but small schools will love her skillset, mentality, and toughness. The way she shoots the ball will translate to the next level, and the threat of her shooting will also open up space for her teammates to attack. She has the capability of contributing at a high level in college.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>London Harris</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I watched Harris and her Metro Stars team twice in Milwaukee and was impressed by how much she contributed without having the ball in her hands that often. She plays hard and grabbed a handful of offensive rebounds through sheer effort and getting around box-outs. Harris is an above-average athlete, but her effort makes her a kid you'll love like as a neutral observer. There will always be a role for kids who play as Harris. She could have a more prominent role at Hopkins this coming winter and help one of the best programs in the Midwest win games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
