Tri-State Hoops Throwdown- #Ballers! Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#11 Hope Easterling- 2024, Rock Hill:</strong> Hope is all over the place! I like how Easterling clogs up the middle. She has length, stamina, and the basketball IQ to do damage on both ends of the court! Great job grabbing boards, quick outlet.  <em>(Below shooting)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":835061,"width":"366px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_3315.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-835061" style="width:366px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#2 Lacee Smith- 2024, Hunt. St. Joe:</strong> I love how active her hands are on defense! Great quickness, and her ball fakes!  Smith for threeeeeeee!!   Smooth, quick release!  And another one!   Ok, I'm losing track now! She cannot have the slightest moment to be open! She plays with poise! <em>(Featured Photo)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":835062,"width":"367px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_3507.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-835062" style="width:367px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#3 Tori Triplett- 2024, South Gallia:</strong> Love her cuts to the basket, and capitalizes! Smooth mid range jumper! She finds the open spots very well. Tori has speed, with trustworthy handles, and gets after it on defense! <em>(Below, shooting)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":835074,"width":"363px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_3745.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-835074" style="width:363px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#5 Nunu Pannell- 2026, St. Albans: </strong>I love this picture below, because it shows how Pannell connects well with her coaches! On the court, she's got some light feet that give opponents fits!  I like her defense a lot, anticipates passes, and finishes strong on fast break opportunities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":835081,"width":"364px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_3782.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-835081" style="width:364px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#32 [player_tooltip player_id='481371' first='Bailey' last='Russell']- 2026, Fairland:</strong> This young lady has such a high ceiling and bright future in this game! Great decision maker, love how she attacks the basket and protects the rock. Outstanding facilitator, finds back door cutters, love her passing! So strong on transition! <em>(Below, shooting)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":835095,"width":"366px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_4435.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-835095" style="width:366px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
