Maeve Ronan
Maeve Ronan
Impressive forward with several different strengths on the court. Coordinated with good speed moving down the floor and a soft touch on the ball. Has the ability to use her size and post up to score with her back to the basket or can handle the ball coming down the floor as the point guard, it’s really up to whatever her team asks of her in that moment. If she continues to expand her game and physically grow, she is going to be a handful to defenders to finish off her high school career.
Sophia Ynclan
Sophia Ynclan
Extremely quick point guard with great change of pace/direction. Moves well off of the ball after she passes it with the ability to relocate and knock down a three if the defense falls asleep. Has insane bursts of speed when she wants to push the pace. Displays active hands on a consistent basis wether its on defense or offense. A guard who doesn’t force to much and understands to let the play work itself out, usually leading to a good amount of success.
Jenessa Eagle
Jenessa Eagle
A player who really shined on Saturday in their afternoon win over M14 2026 National. Showed a great sense for the game while being able to score at all three levels, get a stop on defense, and vocally control her team. She has an above average handle with good awareness of when to cut for an open look near the rim. A very promising prospect moving forward.
Reese Dambman
Reese Dambman
Natural hooper with the ball in her hands. Excels on the offensive side of things but can D up and get a stop if called upon to by her squad. Displays a balanced, steady, and consistent shooting stroke no matter where it is coming from on the floor. The type of player who can score 3, 4, 5 possesses in a row if you don’t find her in transition. A selfless distributor once she beats her initial defender.
Cassidy Hemauer Cassidy Hemauer WI
Cassidy Hemauer Cassidy Hemauer WI
One of the most complete guards I have seen all weekend. A player who fills up the stat sheet in several different categories each game while being a catalyst on offense for her team. Accompanied along with all the skill she has, she also has a good amount of height. Stands at 5’10 but plays like she is a true 6 footer. Extremely versatile with a bright future ahead on the court if she keeps grinding.
Hailey Lavoy
Hailey Lavoy
A gifted point guard who understands the combination of which move to use, when to use it, and where to use it at an impressive level. Elite dribble with good vision moving down the floor. One of the best controllers of tempo I saw today. Is very good at knowing the situation for her team wether it be at the opening tip off or at the closing moments of the contest. The player you want to have the ball in their hands with the game on the line.
