Kennedy Moore
Kennedy Moore
Player that immediately stands out because of how physical she plays. She flourishes in contact and does a great job creating contact and finishing. She stayed at the free throw line and is a knock down free throw shooter. She showed her ability to post smaller guards on the low block. Very versatile
Dillynn Johnson
Dillynn Johnson
Johnson is a primary ballhandler for her team. She showed an ability to penetrate the lane and kick the ball out to teammates in traffic. Perimeter shot only needs a little fine tuning. She cleaned up on the boards and scored lots of “trash buckets”.
Shaniya Grimble-Belcher
Shaniya Grimble-Belcher
Great on ball defender. Had 3 steals in the first half alone. Caused lots of deflections and made it hard for the other team to advance the ball. I was impressed with her ability to set her teammates up to score. Her timing and accuracy in getting her teammates the ball were spot on.
Jahannah Roberson
Jahannah Roberson
Roberson has a solid mid range jumper. The mid range game seems to be rare for players these days, but she has it. I watched her crossover the defense to pullup and nail jumpers from mid range. She also made a few threes. A bit undersized, she didn’t have a problem getting inside and mixing it up under the basket to get boards.

Breedlove caught my eye on an and one three point play. She’s a spot up shooter. She understands spacing and how to position herself for open looks. She did a nice job of moving without the ball.
