Film Room: Third 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='338959' first='Maddie' last='Rasmussen']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 5-11 forward who attends Oshkosh West does a little of everything. Without ever seeing her play in person, the fact she was on the floor means she can defend herself. Offensively, she did a solid job finding ways to make plays. In a shortened season for her, she shot the ball well when she got her opportunities and made some plays getting to the basket. The part of her clips that stand out is her passing. Her ability to hit cutters in the half-court and make passes in transition at the right time makes her an intriguing four for college coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='400915' first='Mikaia' last='Litza']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first tournament that Litza played with Mac Irvin in Romeoville, Illinois, was successful. They won, and they looked good doing it. In terms of Litza, she makes the game look effortless. A way to describe it would be that she looks like she's playing in slow motion. She has a good feel for the game and is comfortable with the ball in her hands. Litza can make plays for herself or others and is a kid who can take and make difficult shots. She can play the one and the two fluently and makes quick decisions when the ball gets swung to her on the weak side. She has plenty of natural talent, and her development is one I have my eyes on intently.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='337021' first='Lindsey' last='Nell']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You won't find six-foot wings that can be two-way kids in the WIAC, and Nell is that kind of player. She's a physically strong kid who isn't elite athletically but uses her body well to keep smaller guards in front of her, and she's been one of the better wing defenders in D4 these past few seasons. She also uses her strength well on the offensive end of the floor. Nell consistently drives through traffic as if they aren't there and powers the ball up with multiple defenders around her. It also doesn't hurt that she's an accomplished shooter who'll space the floor for her teammates. Any WIAC school could use her skillset.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='474774' first='Leah' last='Nordin']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every time Nordin stepped on the floor for a Bay Conference game, she was the tallest, most athletic, and fastest player on the court. No player in her conference could guard her on an island, and most of the state couldn't either. Another part of her game that makes her incredibly challenging to deal with is her jumper because she's 6-1 and gets plenty of lift on it, so few kids can even get good contests on her shot. The top of the 2026 class looks like it could be one of the better groups out of the state, and Nordin is a part of the elite group Wisconsin is producing in the 2026 class.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
