<p>Players that do most of their damage in the paint are at a premium. Arizona's 2025 class has its share of players that like to do work in the paint.</p>

<p><strong>Here we look at some of the top post players.</strong><br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='825569' first='Mariam' last='Traore'] [program_tooltip program_id='713210' first='Bella' last='Vista Prep']</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mariam is as efficient post player as there is in the state. She doesn't need much room to operate and doesn't waste much motion when operating. She keeps the ball high and gets the ball off very quickly to fend off double teams and shot blockers. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='825620' first='Norah' last='Moo'] <strong>Pinnacle</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Moo is an interior player who is getting better and better the more she plays. She will bully defenders when she can but can also finesse you with a nice face up jump shot. She has also displayed a nice jump hook that is hard to defend.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='558946' first='Mackenzie' last='Buckner'] [program_tooltip program_id='713210' first='Bella' last='Vista Prep']</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Buckner is a player that can get you from the high or low post. She has the ability to catch it at the high post and go either way and finish through contact. She also has the skill to catch it in the low post and finish with an array of moves.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='623997' first='Sophia' last='Yancy'] <strong>Desert Vista</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sophia is matchup problem for defenders. She knows how to use her body to seal defenders and has good hands. Once she gets the ball where she wants it, the results are usually good. I expect a big spring/summer from Yancy. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='511033' first='Dianalynn' last='Howell'] <strong>Dream City Christian</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Howell is a post player that's tough to defend because she never stops. She is hardly ever going to be outworked and is very efficient around the rim. She's equally tough to defend because she can finish with either hand. <br></p>
