Top 250 Expo Preview: 2024s on a Mission

With the high school season a little more than a month away, many prospects are putting in the work at various places. I recently attended an open gym on the First Coast and there must have been 75 players in there working on their games (Open gym stories to come). Many players are attending showcases across the state, and some of the travel teams have opened the gym for players to shoot the rock. Many of the states best prospects will participate in Prep Girl Hoops annual 250 Expo in Longwood Florida (not Daytona).   In this article we will hilight the 2024s who will be participating in the 250 Expo and how this event will impact their upcoming season. Some players will use this event to springboard themselves into the upcoming basketball season and see where they measure up against the State's best player. Others will use this event for extra exposure and to come from under the radar with a strong showing.

Dillihay averaged close to 8 points per game and close to 4 rebounds per game from the guard position. Dillihay can shoot the ball from anywhere on the court and really shoots it well from behind the three point line. She can also drive and get the ball in the paint for a high percentage shot with the left or right hand. Dillihay is also a selfless player who makes the correct basketball play. Though she can score the basketball, she does a good job of also getting her teammates involved. Dillihay also does a good job on defense and plays the passsing lanes well for steals and blocking shots from her guard position. DIllihay had some very good moments during he live period in Orlando and she is looking to continue her impressive play at the Top 250 Expo.

Whe she was last on a basketball court , Gamon averaged 26.2 points per game and that ranked 6th in the State in her Sophomore season. Gamon also connected on 45 three pointers, 90 free throws, and made 167 field goals. Gamon is a bonafide scorer and looking to come from under the radar. She can flat out score the ball and she will be a fun one to watch at the Top 250 Expo.   [player_tooltip player_id='426237' first='Simarkae' last='Mclean'] is a baller to watch at the Top 250 Expo. The Senior comes to the Expo with the ability to put the ball in the basket. Last year McLean averaged 15.4 points per game and shot an incredible rate of 70 percent from the field.

[player_tooltip player_id='765167' first='Jayah' last='Jones'] averaged 8 points per game last season and also averaged 3 rebounds per game. When you look into the numbers you see that Jones also dabbed in a lot of statistical categories and didn't just focused on points.
