<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#11 [player_tooltip player_id='748812' first='Caroline' last='Bayliff']: 2026, Lakota West: </strong> Bayliff knows a thing or two about how to control the game and tempo! She shows patience, does an outstanding job communicating, gets her teammates involved, makes the extra pass- she is a leader! Period! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":930071,"width":"314px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/06/A5462CCB-4D6F-4CB6-8546-DF08554EFCA3_1_105_c.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-930071" style="width:314px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#11 [player_tooltip player_id='319064' first='Brooke' last='Haywood']: 2025, Chaminade Julienne: </strong>Love her defensive intensity!  Her traps on the press are flat out impressive, and a nightmare for opponents!
