I did not get to see any of the D1 games, which Angie will cover at the state tournament, but I saw plenty of players who connected from long range!
Jayda is huge in the success of PM. She is a sharpshooter with the good ability to get her shot off quickly. Smart player with good court instincts. Smooth catch and shoot player, loves her shot in the corner. She has good leadership as a senior and wants to close her career out in style this week with another state title! (Feature photo above)
This girl! There aren’t enough adjectives to describe her game. She is a pure leader and a player who can take over a game anytime she wants to. Shoots the ball so well from behind the arc, scores off the screen with great range. Excellent point guard skills, able to create and run the show well. Was happy they made it to regionals so I could see her play in person this season before she graduates!
Is she the best pure shooter in Ohio? She is in the conversation and she put on an absolute display in the districts. Once she got to regionals, she still connected on some from downtown, but she is an absolute bullseye shooter from deep range. Showed good body control on penetration to the rim. She has gotten better since last year, her stock is rising! Only a junior!

Absolutely love this kids game, she has excellent long range scoring ability and has a good shot behind the arc. She has active hands and reacts really well to the ball. She’s a great floor leader, and a clutch player. Didn’t realize how good she was until I sat and watched her in this game.
Every time I see her play she is just as steady as it comes. She’s very good on the boards. She has quick handles with a keen court sense and a high basketball IQ. She’s able to control the game and defensively she can pressure you. She is an excellent distributor. She can fit into any guard category for a story, including this one on shooters because she can drop a three on you in a split second. Love her game!!!
Maura plays for a very balanced team where she doesn’t have to score a lot, but she is more than capable in a varsity of ways including from the perimeter. She is an excellent finisher at the rim and able to score in transition. Smart basketball IQ with a knack for being around the ball. Makes good decisions with the ball.
