She's an excellent ball handler and passer with the ability to score at all three levels. She is also good on the defensive end as she can get deflections on the perimeter and blocked shots in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":905493,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/05/IMG_2025.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-905493" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Guiliana Barbieri program_tooltip program_id='712597' first='Knights' last='Basketball Academy'] 14U): A 5'9 guard who is an excellent all-purpose player. Whatever is needed to help the team succeed, she is able to provide it. She has a quick first step to attack the basket. She can rebound, handle the ball and guard multiple positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":905494,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/05/IMG_2010.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-905494" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1039481' first='Brooklyn' last='Griffith'] (Porter Basketball Academy 14U): A 5'9" wing player from Jefferson City who has a good combination of size, strength and versatility. Her passing skills are very good. She handled the ball quite a bit for her team and she proved to be a good facilitator.

She was capable of getting downhill on the drive and she could also shoot it from 3-point range. She can also use her size and length to be disruptive on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":905500,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/05/IMG_1967.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-905500" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kenzie Keys (TC Hoops 14U): A 5'6" guard from Jackson who is an excellent player in the open court. She had some impressive drives to the basket, which included a nice spin move in traffic that led to a layup. Her passing was excellent which was the theme of all of the players on her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":905501,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/05/IMG_1996.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-905501" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ava Stockbarger ([program_tooltip program_id='713121' first='Lady' last='Brad Beal Elite'] 17U): A 5'8 guard from Hillsboro who plays a solid all around floor game with good fundamentals and a high basketball IQ.
