Continue ReadingThe Amway Center ,home of the Orlando Magic, has a section in their arena, called the O-Zone. Though this signage sits up top high in the rafters, to me it’s relevant for the style of play that I’ve witnessed over the past week. Throughout the week in Orlando, I saw some special offensive skill sets being showcased in front of collegiate coaches. Young ladies were letting it fly, getting to the rim, and dominating the paint in their efforts to help propel their club towards victory. Putting in work, that’s what these girls did as they fought and battled each possession. Here are some young ladies who stood out in Orlando.
Annie Buisson Annie Buisson 5'6" | PG Brentwood Academy | 2024 State TN – the 5’7 shooting guard was lethal from downtown. Annie shot the ball with confidence as it routinely found the bottom of the net. She was the leading catalyst for her ball club, providing consistent energy and timely leadership when needed. Whenever the ball was in her hands, she was a scoring threat. Utilizing a quick first step or jabbing to create space, this rising senior was deadly every time she touched the ball. Look for her to contribute this upcoming season to a solid Brentwood Academy squad .
Miah Cabale Miah Cabale 5'6" | PG Page | 2025 State TN – this 5’4 ball of fire is a feisty ballplayer. She can handle the rock in pressure, knock down clutch shots from beyond the arc, and find teammates ready to shoot in rhythm. She has an amazing work ethic, and will be a vital component to help the Page Patriots this upcoming season.
Reese Beaty Reese Beaty 5'8" | PG York Institute | 2025 State TN – one of the best in her class, she’s consistent as they come. This multi-level scoring threat is a beast. An unbelievable scoring threat and passer, she’s selfless and smooth in her game. Reese has been picking up offers since the 8th grade. As more schools get into the recruiting action for her, look for this standout to continue to grab more offers as she perfects her game along the way. She so vital when it comes to her teams success. Every time you see her, it just seems like her games keeps getting better and better. Look for her to continue to swing in an upwards trajectory this upcoming season.
Leilani Washington Leilani Washington 5'6" | CG Nolensville | 2025 State TN – the 5’7 guard from Nolensville is a human joystick. Her ability to switch speeds at a drop of a dime is pretty impressive. She can score it from all 3 levels but her defensive game is crazy good. She’s going to lock you up the full length of the floor, creating chaos that leads to easy buckets. The Lady Knights have a true Diamond on their hands.
Dacarra Ward- the 6’2 post player from Bartlett was a beast in the paint. Defensively she blocked shots, controlled the boards, and was loud in her communication with teammates. Offensively she was money from the blocks, set great picks , and was always on time for offside rebounds. She will get some minutes playing for a loaded Bartlett club this upcoming season. Coaches, if you are looking for a under the radar prospect, keep tabs on this young lady and her development.

– one of the top prospects in her class, is as solid as they come. An inside out player who has an amazing work ethic. She can launch it from the arc, but the mid range game is her bread and butter. She’s active on defense, getting hands on ball in many ways. She is her length to get deflections, but contributes heavily on the boards. She is a solid prospect for the Lady Feet program. A true gem and will definitely be highly sought after over the next coming years.
