Tri-State Hoops Throwdown Wrap-up: Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#5 Josie Graves- 2024, Cabell Midland: </strong>Rio Grande has another outstanding player coming their way next season! I love her cuts to the basket! Cleans it up inside, and is so comfortable scoring with pressure. Active hands on defense which leads to deflections and steals. <em>(Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":836294,"width":"331px","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_4090.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-836294" style="width:331px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#3 [player_tooltip player_id='481365' first='Addison' last='Godby']- 2026, Fairland:</strong> Smooth, fearless, fundamentals: A+, and goodness can she do some serious damage both offensively and defensively!  Godby provides so many weapons- crashes the boards, draws a crowd anytime she has the ball, and is a scoring machine! She's the real deal! <em>(Below with ball, and Featured Photo)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":836298,"width":"336px","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_4457.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-836298" style="width:336px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#1 [player_tooltip player_id='537676' first='Isa' last='Taliaferro']- 2026, Fairland:</strong> This girl plays with heart!  When I see a player go after a loose ball as if it's a $100 bill, that captures my attention real fast!  Solid defender, loves a fast tempo game, takes care of the ball, and she provides a spark for the team!  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":836310,"width":"338px","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_4565.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-836310" style="width:338px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#33 [player_tooltip player_id='895236' first='Peyton' last='May']- 2026, Wheelersburg: </strong> Peyton dominated all game, with her aggressive moves to the bucket! No problem making shots with contact, and she does a great job protecting the ball while going up strong. <em>(Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":836296,"width":"337px","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_4287.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-836296" style="width:337px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#11 Sophie Kelly- 2026, Cabell Midland: </strong>Sophie's defense stands out to me, in the way she boxes out and makes her opponents battle hard to get a shot. And offensively, she finds the open seams and scores with authority. <em>(Below, in red)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":836295,"width":"337px","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_3926.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-836295" style="width:337px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#15 [player_tooltip player_id='319330' first='Lindsee' last='Williams']- 2025, Minford: </strong>You cannot teach length- and at 6'3, Williams knows a thing or two about scoring in the paint and grabbing boards! Love her strength! Hands are ready for the rock, and she can smooch the ball off the glass consistently! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":836292,"width":"334px","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_4481.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-836292" style="width:334px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
