She usually guards the other team's best perimeter player because of her good footwork and ability to play defense.&nbsp;Aubree has really good timing when going for boards and is not afraid to battle, go up, and rip down a rebound.&nbsp;Worden is also the first on the floor for a loose ball and usually comes away with it. Aubree is a great leader willing to do whatever is needed to help the team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='404945' first='Brooklyn' last='Koll'] (2025) |5'5 G| Sioux Falls Roosevelt &amp; Lauren VanOverschelde (2025) |5'5 G| Mitchell</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These two run with Sanford Sports 17U White and play for coach <em>Gretchen Johnson</em>. The expectation on this team is that everyone plays 110% at all times. Their saying is “Defense gets our offense going”. Brooklyn and Lauren are two players who get their team going defensively. These two are the first to get a loose ball or take a charge. While on the court these two cause chaos which helps the offense get going because SSA White likes to play fast and run. In general, this team works well together and holds each other to high standards!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Izzie Eide (2028) |5'8 G| Sanford Sports 14U White/Centerville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Izzie is a defensive powerhouse on the basketball court. Her quick reflexes and relentless energy make her a formidable opponent, always shutting down the competition and setting the standard for excellence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='498662' first='Jadyn' last='Kor'] (2026) |5'10 G| Sanford Sports 16U Power 24 Black/Pipestone (MN)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She can guard/defend positions 1-4 and is college-ready right now with her strength and athleticism. Kor does all the little things that make good teams turn into great teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lauren Minion (2028) |5'6 G| Sanford Sports 14U White/Brandon Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lauren is a standout defender on the basketball court. Her sharp instincts and agility allow her to anticipate plays and make crucial stops. Minion's relentless effort and strategic positioning consistently disrupt the opposing team's offense, making her an invaluable asset to her team's defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Makinli Reitsma (2027) |5'7 G| Sioux Falls Christian &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='731164' first='Rylee' last='Peters'] (2027) |5'7 G| Freeman</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These two hustlers run with Sanford Sports 15U White and play for coach <em>Kelly Kruger</em>. Makinli and Rylee are both high-energy ballers who play the game extremely hard. Reitsma and Peters get after 50/50 balls and they typically come up with the rock. They sprint the floor going both ways with passion and energy. They might need to improve as on-ball defenders, but make up for it by being very effective help-side defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Taylor Reuvers (2028) |5'2 G| Sanford Sports 14U Black/Vermillion</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor is a smart, tough point guard.&nbsp;She has a very high basketball IQ, reads the court so well on offense &amp; defense, which allows her to get a number of steals and set up her teammates for easy buckets with her passing abilities.&nbsp;Reuvers is a tough kid who is always scrambling after loose balls while finding ways to absorb contact and finish at the rim.&nbsp;Taylor does a great job of leading the team and is always one of the most competitive players in the gym.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":897493,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/PrepGirlsHoops.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-897493" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
