4A Prospects- Five Players That Are Ready to Break Out

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are entering round two of the MPSSSAA playoffs and there are some excellent players to keep your eyes on. A state championship run is a great place to make a name for yourself as a college prospect, and I'm going to point out a few that are on the verge of breaking out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1214847' first='London' last='Turner'], Clarksburg, 2025, Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>London is an explosive guard with a high motor and a nice package of finishing moves around the basket. She gets downhill quickly with her first step and uses her upper body strength to keep defenders at bay. She plays off two feet and has a nice mid-range game. At 5'9" she has good length and size. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='666436' first='Morgan' last='Dow'], North Point, 2024, Forward</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morgan's length really stands out and she is very agile and quick. They have her listed at 5'11" but she looked taller than that to me. She's very efficient around the basket and looked comfortable handling the ball in transition. Defensively she cleans up a lot of mistakes with her rotations in help and her ability to guard on the perimeter. I think she is being overlooked by college coaches, but a good run in states will fix that. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='433884' first='Alana' last='Joy'], CH Flowers, 2026, Wing</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":812189,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/11/Alanajoy.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-812189" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alana will definitely be heard from in the next round. She is a demon on defense with her speed and instincts wreaking havoc on ball handlers. She gets into the paint consistently and is a good finisher. She's even more dangerous now that she has expanded her range out to the three-point line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='788075' first='Marlee' last='Williams'], Frederick, 2027, Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":864061,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/02/20240206_201817-rotated.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-864061" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> Marlee is a must-see attraction. The Freshman guard can play both the point and off the ball. She is physically strong and plays with a ton of confidence. She is relentless but plays with poise and composure. She has all the physical tools to excel at the next level. Looking forward to seeing what she does under the pressure of the playoffs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='433851' first='Starr' last='Munford'], Glen Burnie, 2026, Guard</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":864059,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/02/starrmunford.jpg?w=732" alt="" class="wp-image-864059" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Starr is a scoring guard with a lot of potential. She has a nice shot and keeps the defense honest with her range. She's a good finisher with both hands in paint and can play some point guard if necessary. She looks more comfortable off the ball at this point. She is a capable defender and I expect her to be turned up in their second-round match-up. They won't advance if she doesn't have a big game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
