Since AAU season started, Brynn hasn’t missed a beat and it shows on the court. This weekend, her defense was highlighted. Her blocks converted to steals which converted to points and padded the scoreboard. With no fear driving to the basket and drawing fouls, she creates points in that way as well. A walking example of how defense wins games!
Sailer Jones Sailer Jones 5’6″ | PG Benet Academy | 2026 State IL improves her game every time I see her. Her passing game is way above her age level. She is confident in her dribbling game-she doesn’t get frazzled even when there are 2-3 defenders on her. She has quick feet that allows her to create space or a shot. Her 3 point shot is polished. She is going to be a huge asset to the Benet team next year!

I first saw Marycait play this winter during high school season-and jotted down a note to watch her-I am glad I did! She is lightning fast with quick feet and strong handles. Her size is not a factor as she was running circles around any of her defenders. She has great court vision and the trust her team has in her is visible. A high ceiling on this one!

Hannah Naraky Hannah Naraky 5’9″ | SF Loyola Academy | 2025 IL is a worker! In the game I watched, it seemed as though she pulled down every rebound. She plays with no fear. She is not afraid to attack the basket and is constantly communicating with her team. A new face for me on the scene and great to see!
Delia is an integral part of her talented EBA Ice team and is no stranger to winning. Every game sh0wcases her great basketball IQ and court vision. Her confidence comes out in her skilled play. She shows patience when letting a play develop and waits for the perfect time to make her pass or shoot. She is only at the beginning!
