D1 Sectionals- Who Stood Out! Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='407483' first='Gianna' last='Lane']- 2025, Hilliard Darby:</strong> Lane is such an impressive athlete! The game comes natural for Gianna, in her court vision, patience, and high level of execution. She is a play maker, and deadly shooter! And her quick decisions, combined with speed- yikes! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":862336,"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/4/2024/02/IMG_0687.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-862336" style="width:336px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='280609' first='Payten' last='Bruns']- 2024, Hilliard Darby:</strong> Payten has put in countless hours over the years, and she is reaping the benefits! Her final performance, against the #2 team in the state- 27 points, 13 rebounds, and 2 blocks. I have not heard if she has committed anywhere, but wherever she decides- they are going to have a true leader and worker coming their way! <em>(Featured Photo, Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":862337,"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/4/2024/02/IMG_0635.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-862337" style="width:337px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='746174' first='Niah' last='Smedley']- 2025, Dublin Scioto:</strong> Smedley has a very high ceiling! The 6'0 G/F has been a problem for opponents all year- She knows what to do with the basketball, without any hesitation. Strong shooter, and love her body control and footwork while attacking the basket. And, she was voted to the District 10 Super Team D1! <em>(Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":862339,"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/4/2024/02/IMG_2369.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-862339" style="width:338px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='329495' first='Reagan' last='Voigt']- 2024, Hilliard Bradley:</strong> Voight is going to continue her success at Wittenberg University this fall, and she will certainly be an asset to the Tigers! Plays with such poise, and lets the game come to her. And she is clutch from downtown! <em>(Below on defense)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":766170,"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/4/2023/09/IMG_5226.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-766170" style="width:336px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Salia McLeod, 2027, Grove City:  </strong>This young lady has a lot of potential! McLeod runs the floor very well on transition, aggressive on defense, and applies strong on ball pressure, which leads to steals and easy buckets! Reliable handles! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='636717' first='Kennedy' last='Walker'], 2025, Northland: </strong>Walker is a rebounding beast and blocking machine! With her muscle and length, she certainly covers the paint well! If there was one adjective to describe Kennedy's game, the word powerful comes to mind! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Aleyna Rick, 2024, Thomas Worthington: </strong>Rick certainly has the green light to let that ball fly! Nothing but nylon! And she doesn't need much real estate to shoot! Scrappy defender, likes a fast pace game! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
