I can honestly say Courtlyn Yaussl was the best shooter on the day at Freshmen Showcase as the lefty guard had it going all day. She is a pure shooter that can knock them down with the best of them. She was deadly coming off of screens when defenders went under, making them pay time and time again.
If the Spellman sister can do anything it is knock down the 3-ball at a high rate, and from anywhere on the floor. Kiarra showed patience as the primary guard which makes it easy for her to pull up from deep when defenders didn’t closeout with their hands up. She has one of the quickest releases I’ve seen which made it tough to guard her from behind the arc. This season will be interesting for her at Mountain Vista as she will surely surprise some teams.
Clara Reynolds Clara Reynolds 5’11” | SF Arapahoe | 2027 State CO set the tone with her shooting in her very first game knocking down 4 of them in a variety of different ways. She’s a wing who can operate on the post but excels in catch-and-shoot situations. Her ability to set up the offense as well as handle the ball in the pick and roll is what made her stand out on the day. As her guard skills continue to get better, she could come to a great glue girl for Highland Ranch next season.

We’ve come accustomed to seeing the Moon sister’s knock down shots constantly. Well during Freshmen Showcase Katie was on fire. All while showing that she is more than just a spot-up shooter as she was able to get in it the paint and knock down some mid-range shots leaving the defense helpless.
Jaya Santana Jaya Santana 5’8″ | SG Rangeview | 2027 State CO was a new player that caught my eye throughout the day Sunday morning. She has great size and surprised a lot of opposing players with her willingness to shoot the 3 so confidently. Her team realized early that was a go-to player that could be used to make great reads for herself and her teammates.
Highlights
One of the younger players at the Freshmen Showcase, made a name for herself early on with her shooting ability. She was able to string together 10 straight points at one time during a game. Proving that she can impact the game while playing at a higher level. The 2029 guard turned a lot of heads as she ran the point guard spot well amongst the older girls.
