Robinson a point guard showed some shakes and shiftiness to the cup today. She had no problems touching the paint and leaving off some quality passes in return. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Delaney All Over the Floor: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":670064,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/AC7759A8-9BA4-4DFA-8BB1-FEB630B400DC.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-670064" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='429827' first='Tamira' last='Delaney']</strong> knows how to impact a game without scoring the ball at times. Tamira was constantly in position to finish a putback around the basket, grab a loose ball or slash to the basket. She shows good versatility on the floor to make a play wherever needed for her A.C. Flora HS squad. Tamira will sacrifice her body when it comes to taking a charge or simply bring the ball up the floor at times in transition. Delaney is part of the 2026 Palmetto State Class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Youmans Off the Grid:</em> </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":670065,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/5E4A1C6F-F8E5-4D28-B084-47131AEF03D4.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-670065" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='589678' first='Tilayiza' last='Youmans']</strong> is a very well around athlete at Hunter-Kinard-Tyler HS in Neeses down in Orangeburg County. Youmans averaged 22.2 ppg and 5.7 rebounds last season for the Lady Trojans. Tilayiza is a very athletic wing player who really brings some bounce to the table. She's a capable shooter from the perimeter but seems to be at her best while slashing or attacking the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Can Military Magnet 4-Peat?: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":670076,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/BD38DDB3-EA56-427A-AEF3-75E82CC63ED4.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-670076" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Military Magnet Lady Eagles made the trip up from North Charleston to Denmark today.

Aveion did a little bit of everything today when it came to defending down in the post, handling the rock up top or simply slashing to the bucket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":670068,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/AAF760F4-036B-4B20-8C35-AABB93329208.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-670068" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='252503' first='Ry'Naisha' last='Barnes']</strong> was constantly all over the floor today looking to make a play for the Lady Vikings.
