Maddie Elliott ( Team Blackout 17U): The 6’1″ forward from Father Tolton was playing up at the 17U level and more than holding her own against the older players. She used good fundamentals in the low post with her ability to seal, catch and make strong moves to score. She used the backboard very well. She can also rebound and she throws an excellent outlet pass to start the fast break. She also has a good presence on the defensive end with her good positioning.
******
Avery Stokes ( MO Legacy 14U): A 5’11” forward from Cassville who plays a strong and very effective game in the low post. She is very good with her back to the basket with her ability to establish position and score in the post. She keeps the ball high and she has a nice touch off the glass. She also rebounded the ball very well at both ends of the court.
******
Madalyn Huffman ( MO Legacy 14U): A 5’10” forward who has good size and versatility with her skill set. She can score around the basket and she is strong enough to move people around inside. She also operates well from the high post with her ability to shoot the jumper or make a move off the dribble. She is also an excellent passer who can deliver a nice dime in a high-low set.
******
Kennidy Keller ( Missouri Flight 14U): A 5’9″ small forward who has good athleticism and a versatile skill set on the perimeter. She is a good shooter who was knocking down 3-pointers from the left wing. She can also attack the basket and finish well. She can also use her size to score inside and rebound effectively.
******
Livia Losse (Unstoppable Elite 14U): A 5’10” forward is an aggressive player who likes to wheel and deal with the low post when she catches the ball. She works well in the high post with a quick move off the bounce. She can also catch the ball on the back line over defenders and score it off the glass.
******
Eva Spurlin ( Missouri Flight 14U): A 5’8″ forward who has a high basketball IQ as she always seems to be around the ball and in the right spots on the floor. She cuts well off the ball and score with either hand around the basket. She threw some nice touch passes in traffic and also slipped into the open spaces for offensive putbacks.
