<p>It has been two seasons since we took over the Prep Hoops website and I took in a bunch of playoff and regular season games. There are some unique and talented seniors in the state. Some of the players I saw one time or some I saw a couple but they made an impact in the game (s) I viewed. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here were the most versatile players I viewed who are graduating:</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='205640' first='Jocelyn' last='Michelle Chavez'] <strong>Valley Vista</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Maybe the most versatile as she can play the 1-3 as a true point forward type or bigger two-guard. She shes the court quickly and will thread the needle to make a play for a teammate. She can score on drives and jumpers and plays the game from the neck up.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='205650' first='Camryn' last='Koester'] <strong>Cactus Shadows (Pictured)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A fearless combo guard who can play all three perimeter positions. She handles it well like a lead guard and can play off of the pick and roll game and create her own offense to score. She will score on deep threes, she has advanced court vision and will get downhill. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='205654' first='Thalia' last='Daniels'] <strong>Sandra Day O'Connor</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Both my viewings of her, I came away impressed. She can handle it like a guard and throw the dime. She scores with tough contact drives in traffic, shoots the three and tough put back scores. She will also rebound and block shots. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='205670' first='Ava' last='Pautz'] <strong>Notre Dame Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A versatile inside and out threat. She can take the ball off the glass and push the pace to score or make a play. She will shoot it from mid-range and in and work inside. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='674281' first='Cass' last='Coolidge'] <strong>Sahuaro</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A long wing forward immediately caught my attention during Section-7. She runs well and comes with great size for position. She will score in transition, rebound and score on put backs, hit the three and defend from inside and out making her the top-20 prospect and one of Tucson's finest. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='205652' first='Savanna' last='Creal'] <strong>Hamilton</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A bigger small forward works inside with her strength and can dominate the boards and then step out and shoot the three. She will score with her back to the basket and then ball fake and rip thru into the paint. You see why she is ranked so high with all the traits she brings to the table.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='205659' first='Mia' last='Burgess'] <strong>Canyon View</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A tad undersized forward is versatile to play either spot on offense and defense. She has great anticipation to rebound the ball in and out of her area. She will score with layups and shoot perimeter jumpers, making her a tough cover. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='205647' first='Maureen' last='Ulrich'] <strong>Xavier Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A strong player can play three positions from the 2-4. She has the skill of a guard to shoot the three and strength of a forward to play either spot. She has long arms and toughness to clean the glass and she makes winning plays. </p>
