She penetrated well and got her share of buckets on drives in the lane. She could also hit the open 3-pointer. She has solid handles and she displayed very good court vision with her passing. She also did a lot of tough things like going inside grab rebounds amongst the taller girls and taking charges in the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":677960,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/Breanna-Dohleman.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-677960" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Breanna Dohleman (East Carter): The 6'2" 2024 center from the SEMO area was the top post player at the event. She was a force in the paint at both ends of the court. She did a great job of using her size to seal defenders and her teammates did a great job of getting the ball to her. If she was fronted, she was good at walking the defender up the lane to set up a lob pass. Her footwork was good and she made good use of the backboard to score. She event stepped outside to make a 3-pointer from the corner in the championship game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":677980,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/Lillian-Mindeman.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-677980" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='170377' first='Lillian' last='Mindeman'] (RUSH): A 2024 point guard who has good quickness and played the pass-first role very effectively as she handled the offense and distributed the ball very well. She was getting into the lane very well with dribble penetration which led to kick outs to open shooters or drop offs inside for layups. She can also knock down the open 3-pointer. She is also a solid defensive player who provided good on-ball pressure against opposing ball handlers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":689338,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/IMG_3721.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-689338" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='636212' first='Brooklyn' last='Duggan'] (Macks Creek): A 5'7" 2025 guard who did a nice job getting downhill on the drive to score in the lane. The young lefty can also knock down shots from the perimeter. She also did a good job on the defensive hand with her quick hands, which made her an effective ball hawks for steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":677978,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/Hannah-Gibbons.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-677978" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='424371' first='Hannah' last='Gibbons'] (RUSH): The 5'9" 2024 guard was one of the most impressive perimeter shooters that we watched in the event. She has a nice smooth shooting stroke from long distance and a quick release to go with it. She moves well without the ball and is shot ready when she catches it. She also made some excellent plays on the defensive end, where she was able to use her length and athleticism. She darted into the passes lanes well and converted her steals into transition layups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":689333,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/IMG_3723.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-689333" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lauren Jones (Strafford): A 5'8" 2024 guard who was impressive with her athleticism and quick hands and defensive instincts. She was active and getting a lot of deflections. When she was driving to the basket, she was able to cover a lot of space with her long strides. She was a good finisher in the lane and she was also good at scoring on a reverse layup. She was hitting 3-pointers and she did a good job of moving and relocating to the open spot to shoot them. She was also effective as an offensive rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":689328,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/IMG_3725.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-689328" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alison Daniels (Owensville): A 2025 point guard with excellent speed and who plays the game with tremendous pace. She was looking to push the tempo at every opportunity in the open court. She was difficult to keep out of the lane as she repeatedly got downhill to the basket. She was a good finisher on her quick slashing drives with either hand around the basket. She was also an excellent passer on the move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":689323,"width":396,"height":297,"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/IMG_3719.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-689323" width="396" height="297" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hailey Linebach (Lafayette County): A 5'3" 2024 point guard with good handles and passing ability. I was impressed with how she was entering the ball into the low post. She is a very unselfish player, but she took advantage of her offensive opportunities with a nice lefty shooting stroke. She made a pair of 3-pointers in the championship game. When she played off the ball, she knew how to move and get to the open spots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(The Prep Girls Hoops Missouri Freshman Showcase for Class of 2027 players will be held on September 30 at Chaminade College Prep in St. Louis.
