Standouts of the Week

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ella Goodrich (Knob Noster)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Goodrich is having a fine freshman season and her ability as a youngster has led this team to a 13-4 record. The 5'5 guard is fearless and stays in attack mode. She's a very good scorer going towards the basket and knows how to create open looks with shot blockers lurking. Anytime a player of her age is averaging 18.5 PPG and her size is averaging 7.0 RPG it's going to be eye opening. A small school prospect to keep an eye out for as the playoffs approach us.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='634033' first='Ava' last='McCulla'] (Parkway South)</strong><br>It didn't even take McCulla three full seasons to reach 1000 points. The outstanding junior has natural ability to score and rebound. She's one of the best juniors in her district and a standout for the [program_tooltip program_id='712694' first='Missouri' last='Phenom'] during the summer. At 6'2 she has the size to play at the next level and displays agility that's not often seen for players at that size. She can make shots out of the post and use footwork to her advantage. A highly skilled forward prospect.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='719421' first='Ellie' last='Tiburzi'] (Ursuline)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tiburzi is another freshman who has played well as of late. She had 16 points vs. Visitation and did so with a high shooting percentage. She connected on 4 threes and this type of proficient shooting is what makes her a promising player for the future. A quick lead guard, she can set the table for others, defensive rebound better than most, and create on the ball steals defensively.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='975034' first='Destinee' last='Rowe'] (William Chrisman)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yet another freshman who has been playing well this week. The 5'6 guard has been connecting on a high percentage of her threes as of late. This great shooting has lead to back-to-back high scoring nights. 21 and 16 point games this week. Shooting is her calling card but the freshman shows signs of becoming an all-around player in time. She understands offense and competes on both ends.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
