Film Room: Sixth 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 today.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='333100' first='Kennedy' last='Retherford']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17589052/6458455e478d120e1063accb">FILM</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Pewaukee wing is an excellent off-ball piece. She spaces the floor well and consistently punishes defenses that help off her when her teammates drive to the rim. She also reads defenses well and can make quick decisions when the ball gets kicked to her, so she's more than a catch-and-shoot kid. Retherford also does a solid job finishing in traffic when she decides to attack the basket. The Pewaukee Pirate will make the right basketball decision and is skilled enough to pull off floaters, contested layups, or kick it out herself. Retherford can get lost in the shuffle by the guard talent at Pewaukee, but she'll help a program at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Chloe Vicens</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://x.com/ChloeVicens22/status/1656509845829287936">FILM</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Benet Academy guard is a quick lead guard with room to grow. Vicens has a solid feel for the game and makes good decisions with the ball in her hands. She balances her scoring and distribution well and will improve as she ages. As she continues to play against good competition, you'll see everything get crisper. For instance, she can shoot the ball well right now, but as she adds strength, her shot will look better and more consistent. She has an excellent base to build off and has talented kids around her in AAU and at Benet Academy.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='509691' first='Arrianna' last='Eubanks']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16201071/63cded265cb3b0091829cedb">FILM</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eubanks is part of a young core of talent at Madison Memorial, and she has plenty of qualities that make her stand out. One, I think she's a solid athlete, and her lateral quickness is apparent on the defensive end of the floor. She does an excellent job moving her feet and staying in front of her assignment, and I would not be surprised if she guarded the most talented guards and wings on opposing teams. Eubanks also has a quick first step and can beat defenders off the dribble if they're on their heels. She's another 2025 with the potential to grow into a highly productive player at the high school level on a team that can win a significant amount of games, and the Spartans could be that team in the Big 8 in a year or two.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Julia Koch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15425148/641f705132e740039ce4c0ef">FILM</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last season, Koch earned a significant increase in offensive responsibility, and she excelled in that new role. In her junior year, she took over double the three-pointers in her first two seasons at Omro and made around 39% of those shots. Koch is more explosive than people probably give her credit for, but powerful when attacking the rim. Although she's not a natural lead guard, she can create when called upon. Koch keeps her head up in traffic and will play in the middle of opposing teams' 2-3 zone and exploit the space. She's a solid all-around kid that makes positive plays all game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
