Continue ReadingSheree had a very impressive game Friday night. She is able to effect the game in nearly every capacity. She’s an above average rebounder who boxes out well seems to always fight for loose balls. She excels with her back to the basket and is extremely strong down low as she has no problem moving defenders out of the way. She also impressed with her ball handling skills as she was able to drive toward the basket without losing her dribble and was also able to step back and hit the 3. She can be a mismatch nightmare as she can get by bigger defenders and post up smaller defenders. She had a very nice move in the paint where she hit a fadeaway jumper off one leg. I really like how her overall game has developed.
Highlights
Kennedy had a nice night and was very effective inside. She is a player that seems to have a nose for the ball and will do what it takes to help her team win. She was able to rebound extremely well in traffic and runs the floor very well. She has very soft hands inside and was able to finish well around the rim when need. She brings a ton of toughness every time she steps on the floor.
Highlights
Lauren worked extremely hard on both ends of the floor tonight. She is the kind of player that will risk everything just to get her team an extra possession. She had several plays where she was seen diving after loose balls. She brings a ton of energy to the floor and provided a huge boost defensively as she worked to keep the ball out of the paint.
Highlights
At 6’3, Ola’s size presents problems all over the floor. She was very impressive Friday in the way she was able to tireless get up and down the floor. She has very impressive footwork and can step out when she needs to guard the pick and roll. She can chase guards around the perimeter and can be very disruptive when opponents drive in the paint. She slides to the basket well and is able to finish well around the rim when her teammates find her roaming around the basket.

Monna really impressed with her ability to play and defend a multitude of positions. She is a 3 level scorer who can shoot the long ball but has a very strong ability to attack the paint. When she has an open lane, she will take it to the rim without hesitation. She was very crafty around the rim, finishing with a nice up and under scoop shot that caught the defense off guard. She never shys away from contact and will find a way to get to the free throw line. On one sequence, she drained a three from well beyond the line, then came back and and blocked a shot on defense near the baseline. She is a very talented all around player who brings a ton of skillset every time she steps on the court.
At 6’2, Kassidy provides a tremendous amount of presence to the interior. She is an excellent rebounder who uses her body well to get in position and she can finish around the rim when her teammates find her roaming around inside. Defensively, she did a good job defending the pick and roll and moving her feet against much smaller guards. She provides an abundance of toughness and never seems to stop battling for the ball.
Highlights
Jerin had a nice outing Friday night as she always seemed to find a way to impact the game even when her number wasn’t called to score. She is an above average ball handler who sees the floor well and can really get up and down the court. She is way too quick for bigger defenders to guard and she will use her body to get past smaller players. She does a great job finishing at the rim against bigger defenders and has a knack for making the right basketball play.
