This girl does it all and love that she has a bag in her post game. She will run with [program_tooltip program_id='814870' first='Kashyyyk' last='Elite'] who has a solid team that will play all over the country. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>T'Maea Etuati</strong> is another player that really showed she could be a big time lead guard. We have not heard who she will run with this Spring or Summer but she has game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='796802' first='Alia' last='Baldassano']</strong> out of Alta High School is coming off of a great season. She will be on that AIM U17 Mamba squad. They have a few other players to watch like <strong>Kiara Zwonitzer </strong>out of Davis, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='796845' first='Jaycee' last='Carlson'] </strong>(Mountain View) and excited to also watch <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='861992' first='Ella' last='Seymore'] </strong>(Westlake) a player that has that high energy and she could be electric for sure. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='789080' first='Jazzi' last='Prieto']</strong> out of Roy High School has looked shifty on that Utah Prospects Gold team. They have a deep squad, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='789053' first='Stacia' last='Peoples'] </strong>looks sharp and so does <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='789068' first='Fili' last='Liava'a'] </strong>out of Wasatch. This team has a lot of high quality players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='790536' first='Kya' last='Newton']</strong> was really good playing at Mountain Ridge and she will run it back with Summit and she will have some solid teammates in <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='796803' first='Carley' last='Caton'] </strong>out of Cottonwood but that is just the tip of the iceberg because that Summit team is loaded. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Utah Prospects 3SSB will have a few players to lean on but keep an eye on <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='796796' first='Tabitha' last='Clark'] </strong>out of PG, she has elite positional size. Then you go to the backcourt and you have <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='789082' first='Olivia' last='Stephens'] </strong>who pays with and endless motor. She has players inside and outside she can find all day. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='796847' first='Jessica' last='Maynard'] </strong>is a stud and she can really hold her own anywhere out there on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Always love what is going on with Salt Lake Metro they have a load of players that have next level talent. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='808149' first='Mia' last='Johnson']</strong> is solid out of Skyline. Keep an eye on <strong>Kenadie Maughan </strong>from Emery, small school talent with a big game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Others Teams to Watch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hoops</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Salt Lake Lady Rebel</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Next Level</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>NW Premier</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meta</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
