She can also confidently pull up and knock down the mid range jump shot. She will be one to track as far as progress goes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='723419' first='Ava' last='Schooler'] <strong>Sandra Day O'Connor</strong> (SW Premier 15 Champions League)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The incoming freshman is a crafty ball handler who plays at a very good pace. She is aggressive and shoots the ball with good rotation on it. She could be one of the better 2027 girls this upcoming season. <br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='205639' first='Sarah' last='Nakamura Miller'] <strong>Xavier </strong>(Sports Academy Swish 17U EYBL)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top performers of the event, Miller was clicking on all cylinders.

She handles the ball very well for her size and finishes around the rim. The fact that she's still 15 years old intrigued quite a few coaches. <br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='598978' first='Callie' last='Hinder'] <strong>Hamilton</strong> [program_tooltip program_id='715422' first='AZ' last='Fire'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If Hinder wasn't blocking shots she was definitely altering them. Her length is something that the offenses had to adjust to. She's a good rebounder and keeps the ball high and away from smaller players. She has as much upside as anyone in the state<br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='558894' first='Aiyanna' last='Perkins'] <strong>McClintock </strong>(SW Premier 16 Champions League)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perkins continued to solidify her spot as one of the better all-around guards in the state. She has good lateral quickness, active hands on defense and a constant motor.
