Ivy has been better than advertised playing up two grade levels with the ’27s. She’s been rock solid all spring with nice perimeter defense, and is a great teammate. But this weekend, she showed flashes of what she might become as she went for 14 points in one game, and 12 in another. Playing up 2 grade levels, and having to experience the change in speed from middle school to HS in the AAU world is TOUGH…but she’s adjusting incredibly well!

Holy cow were this kid’s shooting numbers off the charts this weekend!! In 4 games:
17/35 overall
8/16 from 2
9/19 from 3
8/9 from the FT line
She undoubtedly one of the best middle school shooters in the state, 65% True Shooting percentage doesn’t lie. Molli Stuffle is the real deal.

Has all the makings of the star HS player. She long and athletic and always plays with great effort. She’s gotta learn to shoot the 3 at some point, but right now she’s simply a terror if she gets headed downhill to the rim.

Jentry Maddox is another kid that could probably help a lot of varsity teams right now as a 7th grader. She already had HS level size and skill. She’s leading her TN Flight Silver club in rebounds and blocks, while giving solid scoring numbers. She’s got soft touch that leads me to believe she’ll eventually be able to stretch the floor.

Averaged 10 points per game this weekend on 44% shooting. She’s already a HS level scorer that is a smooth ball handler. Can score from all three levels. Really is excelling with this club. She will be a high level HS guard.

Didn’t shoot it particularly well this week, but has shown flashes this spring of being a high level shooter. Her form is great, and her coaches have given her the green light for a reason. She’s the type of kid that can get hot, hit three 3s in a quarter….and win you a 4 minute span by herself.

Is tremendously improved from last spring. She looks as confident as ever, and has been rock solid with a few high level performances that show glimpses of her potential. She had a 19 point (3/4 from 3), 5 rebound performance last weekend. This weekend in Alabama she was 2nd on the team in rebounding which proves that she’s also willing to do the dirty work it takes to win.

She’s been sensational this spring. Last weekend she was in double figure basically every game, and scored as many as 14. She’s been terrific on the board and defensively protecting the rim as well. Put up a near triple double last weekend: 12 points, 9 rebounds, 8 steals. She’s gonna be an extremely good HS post.
