Top Performers-16U Division #DuelForTheDynasty

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm going to come back and drop a list of the<strong> SHOOTERS</strong> from this division as there were many but right now, here are some of the players that grabbed my attention over the weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tori Hines-5'3 CG ([program_tooltip program_id='715857' first='United' last='Lady Elite'] 2025) Charles Patterson MS [2027]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hines is an athletic guard that understands how to use her athleticism on both ends and every time I saw her, she was applying "on the ball" pressure, baseline to baseline as she falls into that "never takes a play-off" type of player. She scored off the dribble yet her court vision in the open court was n[program_tooltip program_id='712549' first='Ice' last=''] as she made on the money 20 foot passes in traffic for assist opportunities. She also understands how to control the tempo while handling the ball under pressure </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Alyanna Brewer-6'0 F ([program_tooltip program_id='715796' first='OK' last='[program_tooltip program_id='712549' first='Ice' last='']'] 2025) Checotah [2025]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brewer immediately grabbed my attention by going after everything off the rim, on both ends, and her desire to BATTLE for the ball, including loose balls, gets her the #THRO[program_tooltip program_id='715726' first='WBA' last='']CK hashtag. She's one of those players that can change the complexion of a game with her mere presence on the court but she scored off the dribble strongly, her deceptive first step played a part in that, and she finished strongly after contact. She also played solid interior defense </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lynden Campbell-5'5 CG ([program_tooltip program_id='715158' first='Team' last='Stay Ready'] 2025) Lewisville [2025]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Campbell. like the soup, was Mmm, Mmm, Good as she ran her team to precision on Sunday. She impressed on Saturday yet I was overly impressed as she set her teammates up for gimmes countless times but her court vision was impressive on both days, both in the set and in transition. Her on-the-ball defense was also smothering both days and she played the passing lane consistently but Sunday, she showed she could take over offensively, either off the dribble or dropping the jumper with a hand in her face </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='636746' first='Khalia' last='Moore']-6'2 C ([program_tooltip program_id='715950' first='Team' last='HQ'] 2025) Stillwater [2026]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moore is "long and athletic" so need I say MORE? Yes, because that "is the base" and when you factor in her upside, aka potential, I enjoyed watching her come out of nowhere to block shots. Her timing also made players alter their shots and she even deflected a couple in front of me but what really got me was her "hands and footwork" around the basket, that too is #THRO[program_tooltip program_id='715726' first='WBA' last='']CK and watching her not only rebound on both ends but score on putbacks after contact tells me a lot on what's coming </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Eliana Santiago-5'6 G ([program_tooltip program_id='715508' first='LockedNElite' last=''] Red 2025) LD Bell [2025]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Santiago understands how to take a game completely over whenever she wants. Please understand she's unselfish and gets her teammates involved and she doesn't mind getting hers "in the flow" yet she can flip the switch in the blink of an eye and take the defender off the dribble, with either hand, and score using body control, with either hand, after contact. She also did a good job of creating her shot under pressure to drop the mid and long-range jumper. She also did a good job defensively </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>HONORABLE MENTION</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jenesis Brown-5'10 G/F ([program_tooltip program_id='715158' first='Team' last='Stay Ready'] 2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Scarlett Blair-6'2 C ([program_tooltip program_id='715168' first='True' last='Texas Hoops'] 2025 S40) Grapevine Faith [2026]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Arianna Brooks-5'9 ([program_tooltip program_id='715857' first='United' last='Lady Elite'] 2025) Charles Patterson MS [2027]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zoe Parker-5'9 G ([program_tooltip program_id='715857' first='United' last='Lady Elite'] 2025) Ellison [2025]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='486412' first='Julieta' last='Diaz']-6'2 C ([program_tooltip program_id='715950' first='Team' last='HQ'] 2025) Westmoore [2026]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
