23′-24′ WDA Returners You’ll Want to Watch (Part 2)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Preview and part 2 of returning players in the WDA that you will want to keep an eye on!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='218143' first='Mia' last='Berryhill']: 5'7" G Legacy High- Berryhill brings a lot of good skills to the floor and knows how to use them all. On game day she may not put up the biggest numbers on the floor, but she is highly effective and spreads her abilities and skills all over. Not only has she proven time and time again she can connect anywhere on the floor, but she is also as smooth as they come and patient as well. One of her best qualities is her ability to read the defense and find her teammates with her precision passing skills. Last year she led the Sabers with 89 assists, and you can expect the same leadership on the front court with her. She is a "team first player" and does work on both sides of the floor. Berryhill is very fun to watch, and some of the stuff she does is very impressive, another fun one on the Sabers roster you'll enjoy watching in her final season in Gold and Black!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='408213' first='Lexi' last='Gerving']: 5'10 G/F St. Mary- Gerving is an all-around athletic individual that can do many things on the floor that make her valuable. Offensively and defensively alike Gerving packs a punch and will be a player that every team is going to figure out to handle. Offensively she can connect inside and outside alike, but with her height and strength she can also pull down the boards as well. Defensively she has quick feet and hands to match and knows how to use her speed to be a menace on the front court or even in the paint. No question Gerving will be a focal point for the Saints this season, she is a great player that is ready to have a big year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='641196' first='Mataya' last='Messer']: 5'10 F St. Mary- Messer will be a big help this year to the Saints. Last year her playing time increased as the season went on, but nerveless she was impressive when she was on the floor. Messer has great size, runs the floor very well and handles the ball very smoothly. I was really impressed with watching her the times I did and with more experience under her belt she is only going to get better and be that much more of an asset to her team. She has proven she can knock down shots, crash the boards and give experienced players a run for their money. Keep an eye on her down the road, she has a lot of talent and a bright future ahead of her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='362927' first='Abbey' last='Dutke']: 6' F Dickinson- The Jamestown Commit will be a spark the Midgets are looking for this season. Dutke is a smooth 6' forward who can also play on the outside but is also effective and can play on the inside as well. She's a proven shooter, rebounder and will be a big part of the team's offense/defense this season. With her and [player_tooltip player_id='362774' first='Sadie' last='Stevenson'] on the floor with their height and ability to move the ball around hit open shots, they both could be a handful to contain. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='518353' first='Ziah' last='GreyBull']: 5'8 G [program_tooltip program_id='712656' first='Mandan' last='']- GreyBull will be a big asset to the Braves this season on both ends of the floor. She is a very competitive, yet composed player who would much rather look for an opportunity for her team to score then herself. But don't let that fool you, she has all the talent and ability to hit shots inside and outside alike, and her passing ability is top-notch. On top of that her she has very refined ball handling skills and is a very smooth all-around player. For the Braves adding her to a guard position with Markel and Wiest could be a lot to handle for teams. Another quality guard ready to a big year, and I think this is the year you will hear her name a lot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
