Ohio Summer Showcase- Young Guns

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So exited to see a lot of future stars in the making on Sunday at the Ohio Summer Showcase at Ashland. These five players are sophomores or younger and made an impression. Can't wait to see these young ladies as their game continues to grow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='538046' first='Ella' last='Bouton'], 5-11 2026, Fredericktown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ella could have a nice future in the game as she develops experience and develops her game. She is a long lengthy wing with a good wingspan, able to play well in the passing lanes. Deflects and runs the floor well.&nbsp; Makes good decisions and is good passer.&nbsp;Heading into her sophomore year, I would think she could have a productive season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Evelyn McKnight, 5-7 2026, Copley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I like what Copley brings to the table this year as they had a couple of kids there who caught my attention. One of them was Evelyn who is developing her skillset very well. She has good court vision and is able to make the good pass. I really like her game, she plays with swag and a good court presence.&nbsp;<em>(feature photo above)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='894646' first='Chloe' last='Dick'], 5-7 2026, New Lexington</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid is going to be really good as she heads into the tenth grade. Chloe can get to the bucket and can finish well.  Also has a solid perimeter game. Good body control. She has good footwork in the paint and on the move. Love her game !!!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Trinity Lazzara, 5-6 2026, Norwalk</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She plays with no fear. Heading into her sophomore year, she is a fiery guard who sees the court well, plays hard, and knows where to be on the court. Does a good&nbsp;job putting&nbsp;her body on her defender. Makes a great pass and sees the floor well. Watch for her game to continue to grow!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jorjia Persinger, 5-8 2026, Waynedale</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Was super impressed with her game on Sunday. Jorjia is an aggressive solid on-ball defender, she does a great job at moving and has good basketball IQ . Offensively she has a good perimeter game stays active in the offense. Will knock them down from anywhere. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
