Mode3 Under Armour Futures Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mode 3 is a fairly new program from Maine. I watched them play against MT Elite ducks at the Under Armour Futures tournament and it was a good game. I was impressed by how Mode 3 competed. They have a few players on their team who have a real shot to play at the next level. With the right exposure - they can be special.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">21 – [player_tooltip player_id='1217900' first='Olivia' last='Breen'] ('29) </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Is a 6th grader who is a legit 6'0” and fits in perfectly with the very strong 8th grade Mode3 basketball<br>team. Not only is she tall, but she is super athletic too. I noticed Breen has an evolved post game, can shoot the outside<br>shot, and runs the floor exceptionally well. Her upside potential is off the charts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#31 – [player_tooltip player_id='354208' first='Abbey' last='Steele'] (‘27)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> At the Under Armour Futures tournament I noticed Abbey is a gritty guard that caught my attention because she was so well rounded. Digs in hard on defense, finds open teammates, strong handle, and scores at all three levels. Steele is a super complete player that I will keep an eye<br>on going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">10 - Thea Laukka ('27)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thea is song and athletic, Thea Laukka showed me a ton of versatility playing multiple positions on the floor. She seems to be a<br>natural small forward but is skilled enough to play both on the ball and in the paint as well. Thea hit perimeter shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2 – Sydney Mason ('27)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sydney Mason is fast and athletic with a high motor. She consistently was up into the ball handler disrupting the<br>opponent's offense and rebounded very well at the Under Armour Futures tournament for her size. Mason showed very strong ball handling skills and the ability<br>to get basket with ease.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">12 – [player_tooltip player_id='354209' first='Abby' last='Giroux'] ('27)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Abbey Giroux is a pure shooter with great ball-handling skills and a ton of competitive spirit. She kept her player in front of her and showed strong help-side defense. Giroux hit some timely shots and was not afraid to get on the floor or mix it up in the paint. &nbsp;Giroux's skill set kept grabbing my attention and I am excited to see her play again. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
