There was another PGH writer in the gym so they will probably cover some that I did not mention, As always if I missed you please feel free to tag me in your highlights and I will get to watching them, I would like to thank OK Swarm for hosting such a great event,

A PG with nice ball handling skills and a quick step when getting downhill. Great vision with the ball in hand looking for the set up to get her teammates in easy scoring opportunities. The mid range jumper was on point pulling up off the dribble or shooting a floater in the paint. A guard that changes speed and directions to get the ball pushed up the court. The game I watched she caught fire hitting serval 3’s in a row
A tall guard with nice length. Combo guard that can shoot the 3 or attack the rim off the dribble. Moves well without the ball relocating to open spots on the floor. Nice footwork and shot mechanics on the 3 shot. She did not need any extra step or wasted motion on the shot. Attacked the rim and finished with either hand. Her length and instincts on defense allowed to get her hands on many balls.

A very physical guard that handles the ball with confidence. Good vision in transition offense as well in the half court motion. Looks to push the ball up the floor with the pass. Nice shot from the 3 with some range. Attacks the rim hard looking to score but understands how to read the 2nd level help to make the extra pass to an open player. A guard that does not mind getting in the mix of the paint to run down a rebound.
Adriana’s job is to protect the paint and she does an excellent job doing just that, At 6’3 she as the height but it is her wingspan that makes it hard to opponents to shoot over. She shows great body control blocking several shots without fouling the shooter., Moves well without the ball on offense filling in gaps presenting herself for open scoring chances. Good footwork before the pass is made on offense put her in high percentage shots. What also was impressive was how she moved around the box outs to run down several rebounds, Definitely a player to watch,
Quick guard that plays with a ton of energy on both ends of the court. Offensively a downhill players that knows how to get to the rim. Excellent job of creating contact and finishing on the drives. A 3 pointer shooter that showed range. Defensively understands how to play off the ball and defend the passing lanes. Showed great rotation playing on the second line of the press creating several turnovers. An athletic guard that does not mind going to get a rebound or two. A player to keep and eye on this summer
