Tri-State Hoops Throwdown Wrap-up: Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#10 Adi Stephens- 2027, Portsmouth West:</strong> Coaches, keep your eyes on Stephens! I really like her game- finds ways to get open, has a quick trigger, and such a smooth shooter. Knocks down the 3 from anywhere! Defensively, she reads passes well, which result in transition buckets! <em>(Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":836206,"width":"318px","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_3951.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-836206" style="width:318px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#1 Maggie Risner- 2025 Minford:</strong> Risner does a nice job pushing the ball and attacking the basket. Makes wise choices on fast breaks, and has no problem going coast to coast with the rock! I like her speed and hesitation moves to the bucket! <em>(Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":836207,"width":"319px","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_4577.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-836207" style="width:319px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#44 [player_tooltip player_id='316721' first='Kylee' last='Bruce']- 2024, Fairland:</strong> Bruce, who committed to Malone University in June, is such a tough assignment for any opponent to guard. She plays at such a high level- athletic, rebounding beast, great attack mode, and she can certainly score buckets from outside. Special player! <em>(Below with ball, and Featured Photo)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":836209,"width":"319px","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_4690.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-836209" style="width:319px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#24 [player_tooltip player_id='319037' first='Kamryn' last='Barnitz']- 2025, Fairland:</strong> Without question, one of the top guards and 3-point specialists in Ohio! Barnitz plays with composure , and has a high basketball IQ which is very noticeable throughout the game. Kamryn puts up points very quickly. Great job finding the cutter- love her passing! She has a bright future at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":836208,"width":"321px","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_4740.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-836208" style="width:321px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#2  [player_tooltip player_id='319060' first='Mia' last='Vastine']- 2025, Wheelersburg:</strong>  I love Vastine's defense! My goodness- she is a pest all game! Her D is suffocating, and will come out of nowhere to pick pockets. Very active hands. Offensively, she takes care of the basketball, and finds paths to the basket. <em>(Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":836212,"width":"323px","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_4274.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-836212" style="width:323px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#42 Hannah Taylor- 2024, Fairland:</strong> Hannah is the type of player that does the dirty work. She has no problem playing strong under the basket, and is solid with protecting the paint. Opponents will feel her physicality! She covers plenty of territory with her 6'1 frame! <em>(Below on defense)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":836211,"width":"324px","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_4873.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-836211" style="width:324px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
