<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Maliyah Moore, Overtime Performance</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bigtime scorer and showed me that in one of her games in Nashville. She does a great job controlling the game. Has a good running floater in the paint. She also isn't afraid to fire one from behind the arc and knock it down. She is a complete guard who has so many ways she can beat you. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='280101' first='Chelsea' last='Evanich'], [program_tooltip program_id='712435' first='Buckeye' last='State Blast'] Neon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":653057,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/tempImageKDaRlB-rotated.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-653057" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Have seen her a few times, I like her overall game and she is a long athletic guard who can play many positions on the court. She can not only score from the perimeter, but she has good footwork around the paint and can score down low. Also a solid defender against multiple positions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='366781' first='McKenna' last='Baney'], [program_tooltip program_id='712435' first='Buckeye' last='State Blast'] Neon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":652334,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/tempImage9vzLYf-rotated.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-652334" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sharpshooter from the perimeter with a nice shot. A quick release making it difficult to defend her game, she is a strong physical kid who does a good job moving without the ball. Smart heady scrappy player who can take it to another level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='319327' first='Ava' last='Unrast'], [program_tooltip program_id='714848' first='Ohio' last='Lady Attack']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":658768,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/Avae-Unrast.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-658768" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I really like her game from the point guard spot, she is a natural leader who facilitates the offense well. She has sharp handles and a smooth overall game. Loves to push the ball in transition and is a big playmaker. Good footwork around the rim and has a nice floater and can finish. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='336529' first='Lilli' last='Leopard'], [program_tooltip program_id='714848' first='Ohio' last='Lady Attack']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":658833,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/Lillian-Leopard.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-658833" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She impressed me with her ability to create plays in whatever fashion was needed for her team. She plays downhill well and is an outstanding passer who sees the floor very well. She has a high basketball IQ and has strong court vision to make plays. <em>(feature photo above)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sullie Gerik, STARS Basketball Rise UA Rise 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She is a long and athletic kid who uses it to her advantage, including a nice tough around the rim and depth from the perimeter. Good catch-and-shoot player. Able to make the pass and has good court vision as a distributor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
