Wildcat Shootout: Florida’s Standout Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Wildcat Shootout in Georgia featured some top talent from the states of Florida and Georgia . In this article we look at some of the Standout Forwards from the Sunshine State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='430248' first='Destiny' last='Donaldson'] had some standout moments at the Showcase over the two-day period. &nbsp; Donaldson wasn't dominant in one area but she impacted so many areas on the floor. &nbsp; She played outside in the Five Out offense this week and continued to show great&nbsp; confidence shooting the ball from the perimeter.&nbsp; One coach commented that if she were to take 5 shots she would likely make three.&nbsp; That alone is a ringing endorsement of the athletic and lengthy foreward's shooting ability. &nbsp; Another coach commented on versatile players who could take the ball to the rim if their shot wasn't “on” in a particular game. &nbsp; That fits Donaldson for sure. &nbsp; On the second day of the showcase Donaldson was getting by guards and creating lanes for the layup and drawing double teams for the kick outs to her shooters. &nbsp; Donaldson played well and continues to expand her game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='221598' first='Trinity' last='Berry'] put on a shooting expedition at the Wildcat Shootout.&nbsp; She shot it so well that some say it was raining Berries. &nbsp; Nearly everything she put up was “money.” &nbsp; Berry did other things well, too.&nbsp; &nbsp; One college coach commented on the hustle that number 30 displayed just going for a loose ball. &nbsp; Berry stood out at the Forward Position.&nbsp; She was the best shooter in the building by a long ways.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='934201' first='Takarie' last='Powell'] played well on the inside for Impact&nbsp; and really stood out for her hustle and scoring in the paint. &nbsp; Powell went after loose balls and secured rebounds in the paint.&nbsp; She&nbsp; looked comfortable and confident.&nbsp; Powell is poised to have a very good year.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='400813' first='Asiana' last='McCreary'] showed some physicality to her game and it was enough to forecast what next year could be like.&nbsp; McCreary drew a lot of fouls on the pic and roll and on drives to the basket.&nbsp; She&nbsp; has only played a few games with her new team and there were glimpses of what next season could look like.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1046157' first='Siun' last='Crowley'] took a rebound and went Coast to Coast and had several coaches talking about that one play.  She gives Creekside another force on the inside.  Crowley is physical and can rebound and defend. Crowley is a star in track and field and has the potential to be a force at the power forward position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='864101' first='Jayda' last='Parker'] stood out at the Wildcat Shootout this week and showed a lot of versatility to her game.&nbsp; Parker played on the outside and the inside and made some nifty plays in the transition game.&nbsp; Parker got to the rim and and even connected on a few three point shots.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='221646' first='Terrannya' last='Medlock']  showed her abilities on the basketball court. She shot the three ball very well, ran the floor well, and scored  in transition.  Medlock also played solid defense at the shootout.  She blocked shots on the inside and covered the wing players on the perimeter.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='934210' first='Kristyonna' last='Harris'] was out there blocking shots out the air and getting steals. The young forward also stood out in the rebound department and running the floor.   She scored in transition and in the paint, both in crunch time. Just out of Middle School, Harris came in under the radar. Now, say “Cheers,” because everybody knows her name. Her commitment on the defense was special. One college coach shared the common defensive stance. To play college ball, a player has to know how to play and be committed to playing defense. No problem with Harris, she thrives on the defensive end of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
