She is a matchup problem with her height and skill set on the perimeter. She did a nice job of getting into the lane on the dribble where she was very adept at dropping off a nice dime through traffic to an open teammate. She could also raise up and hit the jumper. She was also hitting the open 3-pointer. She was also a factor on the defensive end as she used her length to block shots in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":828438,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_8484.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-828438" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='848994' first='Millison' last='Sapp'] (Ash Grove): A 5'6" point guard who teams with her teammate [player_tooltip player_id='777608' first='Bristol' last='Lathrop'] to make a very nice young Inside-Outside combination. She is a strong ball handler who has an excellent mid-range jumper and the ability to change directions and speeds to keep defenders off balance. She has a good feel for the game and she can take charge on the court and get her teammates in the right spots on the floor. She also finds teammates with pinpoint passes with her good court vision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":828442,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_8460.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-828442" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='849019' first='Lily' last='Carr'] (Spokane): A 5'5" point guard who was very impressive in the Lady Owls victory over Greenfield. She is a confident ball handler who plays with excellent pace and tempo. She did a good job of penetrating and kicking the ball out to open shooters. She has a nice in-and-out dribble at full speed and she was good at finishing with nice scoop shots and reverse layups. She could also hit the high-arching 3-pointer when she's left open.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":828446,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_8526.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-828446" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1097050' first='Lanie' last='Stokes'] (Marionville): A 5'5" point guard who plays the game with a lot of energy and hustle when she is on the court. She has good speed and she utilizes it well when she gets into the open court. When she penetrates in the lane, she displayed a nice float game as she stopped on the dime and scored with a good touch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":828599,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_8500.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-828599" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kayleigh Steimel (Fordland): A 5'8" forward who saw some limited reserve minutes, but I was impressed with what I saw from her in terms of her athleticism and activity around the basket. She has a very quick jump inside when enabled her to grab a few offensive rebounds. She was also running the court very well in transition. She has a pretty high upside from what I saw from her on Tuesday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
