The Clash: 2025 Prospects Pt 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Clash tournament in Hamilton, Ohio was an outstanding weekend of elite competitive travel basketball at the most eye-popping facility I have ever seen in person. Countless travel teams came from across the country to compete April 19-21st in this NCAA Live-Period event. S-40, P-24, and independent circuit travel teams competed in front of 300+ D1, D2, and D3 college coaches across 28 courts at the Spooky Nook Sports Championship Mill facility. Here are some of the 2025 prospects who impressed me as I watched their games courtside last weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["423698"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":898126,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='423698' first='Christina' last='Gibson'] is a shifty guard from FVV Hype-Brian who impressed me at The Clash. I had the chance to see Christina play for South Lake at the Hardwood Classic last December where she wowed with her outside shooting off the dribble and advanced ball handling moves. At The Clash, she elevated and finished into contact, then knifed through the defense to score using a pro hop with a right handed finish off the glass. Christina accelerates and glides through the defense like everyone is moving in slow motion. She finishes equally well with her right and can transfer the ball effectively without slowing down. Christina deflected a pass out of bounds and showed her toughness by playing through an injury to her right hand.

She worked hard on defense, tying up the ball on a drive and blocking a shot. Amal brought her offensive 'A' game with her to Ohio. She buried a corner 3, wing 3 off the catch, and used a smooth behind the back snap step back dribble to drill a deep 3 up top. Amal kept her eyes up on a drive to deliver a bounce pass in traffic and knocked down multiple free throws.

She caught a pass in the paint and executed a quick forward pivot to score around her defender. Hannah knocked down a mid-range jumper and was a defensive asset for her team. She maintains a strong, balanced defensive stance and demonstrates off-ball awareness. One of Hannah's best plays was when she secured a defensive rebound, drove full court to the paint into a jump stop, then combined a shot-fake and pivot to score a contested bucket.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["663349"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":894677,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='663349' first='Isabella' last='Nooe'] came up clutch for her Mystics Black 2025 team in a tight game at The Clash.

Her length and multitude of ball handling moves caused challenges for her defenders. She used smooth handles to create separation off the dribble and knocked down a step back jumper and mid-range shot off the dribble. Isabela buried a 3 from up top off the dribble with a quick release and balanced platform.
