Versatile baller, with strength, size, and quite comfortable going coast to coast with the ball! Strong on the block and great finish inside. Very high ceiling! <em>(Below, #3)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":866504,"width":"335px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/03/IMG_1725_4e7dce.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-866504" style="width:335px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Pierce Cephas- 2025, Canal Winchester: </strong> Her quickness is on a whole different level! Cephas is on skates!

Cannot give her a moment alone, otherwise it's a bucket! Plays under control, and doesn't rush the offense.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":866493,"width":"324px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/03/IMG_2466_35c271.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-866493" style="width:324px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='217361' first='Alyssa' last='Horsley']- 2024, Teays Valley: </strong> Knows how to draw the foul and get to the line.  Horsley finds her teammates so well- with precise passing!  And this young lady has some range on her shot!
