He liked her hustle, strength, and finishing ability. He also noted her shooting ability and that she has a solid, all-around game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='729411' first='Ruth' last='Gipson'], 6'0", G/F, Shawnee Mission Northwest - Invited to Preferred Athlete Scouting Services July event in Orlando. BFD</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":783006,"width":"101px","height":"100px","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/Hayden-Halliday-2027-Olathe-South.jpg?w=425" alt="" class="wp-image-783006" style="width:101px;height:100px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Olathe South 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='779218' first='Hayden' last='Halliday'].

She shoots the ball well with a quick release and finishes using the glass well with either hand. What I especially like about her game is her smarts. Halliday anticipates well on both ends of the floor and is a charge call waiting to happen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='592203' first='Chloe' last='Hartzler'], 5'5", CG, Wichita South - Hartzler garnered attention from other PGH scouts like Ji Kim 8.31.23 and Jason Green this past summer. Unanimously they feel she is a very high IQ, crafty shooter. They also were impressed with her handles, competitiveness, and quick ability to turn defense into offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='779221' first='Makynlee' last='Jensen'], 6'0", C, Maize - Jensen is a high potential, good sized center who changes ends solidly. Arguably her game's best feature is her feet. She helps well on interior defense and works both sides of the basket well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":754406,"width":"113px","height":"75px","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/09/583-Aubrey-Loman.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-754406" style="width:113px;height:75px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Wichita Northwest 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='751128' first='Aubrey' last='Loman']. Photo: Prep Girls Hoops.</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='751128' first='Aubrey' last='Loman'], CG, Wichita Northwest - After seeing her in July my colleague wrote about how impressed he was with her size, length, and that she"...goes AFTER everything." </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='672683' first='Eve' last='Long'], 6'3", SF/PF, Olathe South - Long is a terrific athlete with big hands, great hops, and speed to take the ball end-to-end. Very good out of power dribble move Long scores well around the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='566807' first='Lilly' last='Lund'], 5'10", SG/SF, Blue Valley - My colleague Simmie Colson noted her length and athleticism and liked her abilities to rebound the ball and go end-to-end. She also played passing lanes well defensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='779223' first='Destiny' last='Maze'], 5'8", CG, Wichita Heights - Maze brings high confidence and strong handles with the dribble drive. She is athletic finishes well out of the transition game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='782643' first='Deser'ee' last='Mponezya'], 5'9", CG, Shawnee Mission West - Mponeza notably impacted the recent <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/10/gamechangers-at-the-missouri-freshman-showcase-guards/">Missouri Freshman Showcase</a> where my colleague Earl Austin caught her. He described her as one of the strongest, most difficult, and athletic players to defend. She is also known to be explosive and to possess a very soft shot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='779227' first='Amellia' last='Prochnow'], 5'7", PG/SG, Blue Valley - Prochnow is a very quick and athletic scorer. She will eat up the ball with her quick hands where she will take it to the house or pull up for a three ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='671505' first='Maddie' last='Vickery'], 6'1", PF, Washburn Rural - Vickery does a great number of things well but arguably her best is her timing to generate shot blocks and gather rebounds. Other scouts have noted also that she works well out of the inside-out game and perimeter shooter with range. With her ability to impact to strongly impact the game on both ends teams will have to watch for her out-working opponents in the transition game too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
