AAU Spotlight: Green Mountain Select Varsity Girls

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Green Mountain Select team is comprised of mostly central VT players and a number of them I've yet to see live. That being said, I'm highlighting those I know well and will drop the rest of the roster below so the whole squad is on here. Alright now, let's go. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Perimeter Play:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Knowing what I know, this group is anchored by a tough three-headed monster at the guard positions. <strong>5'7 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='542229' first='Clara' last='Wilson']</strong> is that heads up point guard who gets the ball in teammates hands on time and on target, providing clean looks consistently. <strong>Wilson's </strong>ability to attack a closeout and crack the second layer manifests in lays and short-range runners plus a good deal of FTs too. Alongside her are Spaulding H.S. teammates <strong>5'5 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='645782' first='Taylor' last='Keel']</strong> and <strong>5'7 2026 Sophia Guariello</strong>. I love watching the two of them together; their chemistry is tightly knit and they're about their business. <strong>Keel </strong>is a savvy slasher and spot-up shooter who often creates offense from her defense, yet she sees the floor well and consistently hits cutters. <strong>Guariello</strong> is similar, bringing a hawk-like defensive mentality which generates offense. Together, those two are like pack predators that attack, rotate, and switch to provide ongoing pressure with defensive balance. In the halfcourt, <strong>Sophia </strong>has the athleticism to slide by defenders and find offense at the rim, plus her jumper is sound off the catch. Another player to look out for is <strong>5'6 2026 Lauren Joncas</strong>, a small-town kid who can get a bucket in so many ways, relying on her wit and craftiness to do so. Defensively this crew knows how to work, they have the heart to come at you relentlessly, and will make you work for every inch. A solid four on the perimeter who make those around them better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Roster:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sophia Guarriello Spaulding 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='891690' first='Paige' last='Parker'] U-32&nbsp; 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lauren Joncas Danville 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='542229' first='Clara' last='Wilson'] U-32 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hannah Miller BFA Fairfax 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sadie Young Danville 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='645782' first='Taylor' last='Keel'] Spaulding 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jorja Washington Twinfield 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kendra Rocheleau Harwood 2026&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
