Grassroots Team Spotlight: Missouri Nets 2027

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops Missouri ventured into its Magical Stream Machine to watch a few of the grassroots teams around the state, so we can put them in the spotlight. Today, we take a look at the [program_tooltip program_id='716052' first='Missouri' last='Nets'] 2027, a talented group of Class of 2027 players from the SEMO area. They are based out of Doniphan. We picked out a few of their games to watch and here are some player evals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='885914' first='Makenna' last='Kirby']: A 5'6" point guard from Doniphan who communicates well on the court with her teammates as a floor leader. She has good speed and quickness and she changes directions well on the move. She was able to use her speed to dribble through a full court press. She could also hit the open 3-pointer off the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='849017' first='Carsyn' last='Hagood']: The 5'9" guard from Doniphan is one of the top 2027 prospects in the state. She is an elite perimeter shooter with extended range that extends well past the 3-point line. She can also attack the close outs to hit the mid range jumper and the floater. She is an unselfish player who finds open teammates with her good court vision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='854343' first='Kensey' last='Killian']: A 5'8" guard from Doniphan who plays solid defense on the ball. She keeps ball handlers in front of her and she will hawk the ball. She can get downhill on the drive to score on the runner in the lane. She was also hitting the open 3-pointer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='900125' first='Myla' last='Schrimsher']: A 5'7" guard from Doniphan who does a solid job coming off the bench. She doesn't look to force things, but she is a capable ball handler who keeps the ball moving on offense. In the game I watched, she also hit a 3-pointer and scored a bucket in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='886553' first='Mauriona' last='Menley']: A 6'0" forward from Dexter who impressed me with her mobility and versatile skill set. She used her length to grab rebounds and block shots. When she grabbed the rebound, she was capable of taking off on the dribble to lead the break. She scored inside and she stepped out and hit a 3-pointer. She also has good anticipation on the back line of the full court press defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ellie White: A 5'9" guard from Doniphan who is an impressive athlete who plays with a strong motor. She excels in the open court where she is able to get out in transition and slash to the basket and finish. She can also hit the Corner 3-pointer. She can be disruptive on defense with her good instincts and ability to be in the right place to create the steal and turnover.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kennedi Sims: A 5'9" forward from Sikeston who serves a good connector on the team with how she moves the ball and flows within the offense. She passes well and she knocks down an open 3-pointer. She has very good defensive instincts and positioning, which led to some good deflections and steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kaylee Jines: A 5'9" forward from Imboden (AR) who is solid defensive player and rebounder with a physical presence. She has good length and timing to block shots without being the an extremely tall player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='900706' first='Alexis' last='Davis']: A 5'6" guard from Imboden (AR) who is an excellent playmaker with her ball handling and passing ability. She stays low on the dribble and she can split double teams to create odd number advantages for her team. She has a nice hesi move to free herself from defenders on the drive. She uses her excellent court vision to deliver some nifty passes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
