Westbay is definitely a Pirate to keep an eye on this coming season. The talented Riverview forward brings some toughness and versatility. Westbay utilizes her strength to play bigger than her height. She can power herself into position to attack the glass. Westbay has strong and dependable hands in the paint and can work off a post catch.
Highlights
Ignore the number next to her name because Hicks is extremely underrated. The Hart Pirate has one of the more well-rounded games and skill sets that you’ll see this coming season. She has a well earned and well deserved reputation as a stat sheet stuffer. Hicks has the ability to read the game and attack in a variety of ways.

Jahn is a Pirate that definitely deserves some notoriety for her game. She’s a high upside post player that college coaches will probably want to be aware of. Jahn does good disciplined work off the blocks. She’s developed a nice offensive game and her footwork on both ends continues to improve.

Thelen is a Pirate from Pewamo-Westphalia that coaches and opponents better be very aware of. She’s a skilled guard that can play on or off the ball. I’ve been impressed with her on-ball defense and ability to force the action on the defensive end. Thelen can handle like a point and shoot like a 2.
Hovey is another Pirate from Hart High School. She’s an extremely athletic wing that has nice lateral ease of movement. Hovey can defend multiple positions and is a playmaker on both ends of the floor. She’s not just an athlete doing athlete things though. Hovey also plays with a toughness and ferociousness that takes her game to another level.
