Missouri Freshman Showcase Team 1 Evaluations

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops Missouri held its Freshman Showcase on Saturday at the Principia School in St. Louis. We will begin our team evaluations from the event with a look at the members of Team 1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dasia Scott (Principia): The 6'2" forward earned a spot of our GameChangers list after a day of dominating play at both ends of the court. The Division I prospect displayed power and finesse in the low post with good moves, nice footwork and a soft shooting touch inside. She complimented her power game with an excellent perimeter skill set. She handled the ball well and found open teammates with her passing. She was also knocking down 3-pointers off the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='631765' first='Ava' last='Pratt'] (St. Michael the Archangel): The 6'0" small forward from Kansas City was also on our GameChangers list from the event. She is a skilled player who can operate on the perimeter with her ball handling and driving ability. She can score on the straight-line drive with either or left or right hand. She was also escaping defender with a cross-over or a spin move in the lane. She was also knocking down shots from 3-point range. Her versatility also extends to the defensive end as she can guard multiple positions with her height and tenacity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='765401' first='Abygail' last='Amberger'] (Perryville): I first saw this 5'11" forward at the Maryville University Elite Camp and I was very impressed with her overall skill set. The young lefty also had a good showing on Saturday as she displayed her excellent shooting from 3-point range. She was very good off the pick and pop. She could also hit the defender with a shot fake to set up a nice drive to the basket. She was also a good rebounder who could slip in the lane to get good position for offensive putbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sonny Foizey (Incarnate Word Academy): A 5'9" guard who displayed an impressive shooting stroke throughout the day. She was very proficient from the corners as she knocked down several triples from that spot. She also hit a few 3-pointer off the dribble with the step-back. She also did a good job of attacking close outs as she could slither her way into the lane to score.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='777603' first='Addison' last='Gibbs'] (Fayette): A 5'2" point guard from the Mid-Missouri area who played with a lot of pace to her game. The young lefty stayed low on the dribble as she was good at the penetrate and kick to the open teammate. She has good quickness and she can also dial it up from long distance off the dribble. She was also a ball hawk on the defensive end as she had a number of steals while going into the paint to dig inside the post.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='777630' first='Rayla' last='Blanchard'] (Fort Zumwalt North): A 5'6" guard who played with a good burst off the dribble to accelerate past defenders for layups. When I first watched her during the summer, she was shooting it well from 3-point range, but I was impressed with how she attacked the basket on Saturday. She also had a nice change of pace and she stayed low on the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='777611' first='Chloe' last='Koepke'] (St. Dominic): A 5'9" small forward who is a solid ball handler and passer. She used her height to see over the defense to make the good pass. She could grab the rebound and start the break with the dribble. She used her length well on the defensive end and she also had good instincts to be in the right position to make a play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
