<p>[player_tooltip player_id='317336' first='Kate' last='Rubel'] (MO Phenom STL-Bell): The 6'0" 2026 guard from St Vincent has a good blend of size and versatility which makes her a tough matchup for defenders. When she gets to her dominant left hand, she is turning the corner and coming strong with a finish or a trip to the free throw line. She was also dropping some impressive dimes to open cutters as she can see over defenders with her height. She's very comfortable as a ball handler and facilitator.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='875804' first='Abygail' last='Amberger'] ([program_tooltip program_id='712817' first='Southeast' last='Dynasty'] 15U): A 5'11" 2027 forward from Perryville was very impressive in the first game that I saw her on Thursday morning. She put up a 30-piece to start her participation in the event as she was getting buckets in a variety of ways. She is a strong 3-point shooter on the pick and pop and she was also attacking the basket with her dominant left hand and scoring on strong takes through traffic. She is an impressive young prospect with her overall skill set.</p>

<p>Amelia Sherill ([program_tooltip program_id='948123' first='TC' last='Hoops'] 17U): A 6'0" 2025 forward from St. Paul in Farmington is a skilled post player whose skill set fits in well with her team that does a lot of ball and player movement. She can find open cutters from the high post with her passing and she can also hit an open 3-pointer. She is also a solid rebounder. She was also very effective in the low post where she got good position and scored around the basket.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='317351' first='Brie' last='Rubel'] (MO Phenom STL-Bell): A 5'8" 2026 point guard from St Vincent who can handle the offense in addition to her ability to knock down open 3-pointers. She does a good job in the pick and roll where she can deliver a nice pass to the forward rolling to the basket. She can also hit the shot over the top of the high ball screen.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='741586' first='Laney' last='Porter'] ([program_tooltip program_id='948123' first='TC' last='Hoops'] 17U): A 5'9" 2025 guard from Puxico who plays the game in constant motion at both ends of the court. She's an athletic lefty who moves well without the ball and can knock down 3-pointers off the catch. She will also attack the basket on fearless drives. She was very good on the second line of her team's full court press as she was able to get deflections and steals.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='984308' first='Lillie' last='Cole'] (Napheesa Collier Elite - Adams): A 5'8 2025 guard from Jackson who is a talented offensive player who has the trifecta down as she can pass, shoot and dribble very well. She's quick and she keeps the ball moving with her deft passing. She also has a feathery touch from 3-point range. She has received several collegiate offers during the summer.</p>
