Benard’s team may have been defeated by Dakota, but she certainly left her mark in the contest. She has a reputation as a shooter and that certainly held true in this game, as she hit multiple triples that showed off her deep shooting range. Benard was a threat all over the floor though, utilizing her ability to create space with her handles. She used a tough step back jumper from mid range that was very tough to defend. Benard also drew contact and got to the free throw line often. All this talk about her scoring, but it was her passing that may have impressed me the most. She creatively passed out of traps, hit cutters with accurate feeds and showed the ability to feed the post with a bounce pass.
Williams was excellent in Dakota’s win against Grosse Pointe South. She was active and bouncy under the rim, seemingly playing over top of her opponents. Williams put her work in early when attacking the glass by establishing position as soon as the shot was released. Her prolific rebounding effort in the game put a big limit on GPS possessions, making 1 shot and done on most occasions. Williams showed a knack for earning high percentage looks at the rim. She had multiple put back buckets and did a nice job finding space and giving her guards a passing option. Williams was solid on the defensive end where she did a very nice job walling up and altering or deterring shots in the paint.
Grosse Ile was defeated by late game heroics, but Wright had no reason to hang her head in the tough loss. She was very active all over the floor and always seemed to be around the ball or in position to make a play. Wright seemed to rebound well on the weakside of the shot and was able to find a couple good looks or put backs because of it. Her best play of the night may have been when she got stopped on her way to the rim, but used her pivot foot to clear space and ended up with a layup. Wright showed strong hands on a catch as a cutter and had a pretty pass across the paint that turned into an assist.
Riverview picked up the win, battling throughout and pulling off the win with seconds to go. Westbay was a key factor in the win and was at times nothing short of dominant on the offensive end of the floor. She consistently worked from the high post and looked comfortable and well schooled in doing so. Westbay caught the ball at the free throw line, spun to the right and scored at the rim. She also showed that she can utilize the shot fake from that same area and attack the rim off of it. Westbay really had a variety of ways to catch the ball around the free throw line and finish with a take and make. She was even able to hit a mid range jumper from the same spot.
Highlights
Foster definitely turned heads in Dakota’s impressive win against Grosse Pointe South. Quite simply, she has truly elite handles and control of the ball in her hands. She’s dangerous for defenders and that was obvious when she showed that she could cross them over both ways, right to left or left to right. Foster also showed that she could both handle and pass her way through pressure defense and always remains calm and collected. She’s fast with the ball as well and even beat the defense back. Foster is a multi level scorer. She buried a deep triple, hit a soft mid range floater and finished at the rim off a steal and score.
