The Clash: Impressive Performances! Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#28 Emily Sanchez: 5-3, IDream Gold 17U: </strong>Emily runs the offense well, and I love the quickness she displays on both ends of the ball. Not afraid of contact! Reads the defense well, and finds the open seams to the bucket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":898396,"width":"288px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/IMG_8203.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-898396" style="width:288px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#<strong>24 Gia Kinsey: 2029, IDream Gold 17U: </strong> Gia's graduation year is not a typo! She's a 2029, playing on a 17U team! Love how she pushes the ball after rebounding.  Confident, makes things click offensively. I love her moves to the basket!  Kinsey is a shooter and 100% clutch in pressure situations! Hit the game winning 3!  Ice in her veins! <em>(Featured Photo)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":898395,"width":"284px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/IMG_8200.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-898395" style="width:284px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#30 Za'Nyah Bernard: IDream Gold 17U: </strong> Nice corner three, nothing but nylon!
