She showed her ability to be a rim protector and her impact on the game as a positional rebounder and versatile defender. She showed perimeter skills and the ability to put the rock on the floor and attack. She is an intriguing prospect because of her size and skill set. She listed the following offer in her profile: Oakland University. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check Out Carmela's Film:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/live/CStlzSu3YFE?si=urN_0HmBK8wlPQO-","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/live/CStlzSu3YFE?si=urN_0HmBK8wlPQO- </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":947986,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/07/PGH-Kyjana-Jordan-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-947986" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Kyjana Jordan </strong>(5'6/CG/'25/GDT) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kyjana was one of the hardest-competing players in the entire #TheBigEasyHoopFest. She scores it well at all levels but really showed her scoring prowess from behind the arc. If I was doing a sniper school for the event, she would definitely have a spot in the article. She plays on and off the ball and balances scoring and facilitating. KJ was one of the best shot creators I saw throughout the event, but one thing she has to work on is elevation and separation when getting into her middle-game scoring.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":947989,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/07/PGH-Alexis-Bradford-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-947989" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Alexis Bradford </strong>(5'10/PF/'25/All Arkansas Red) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: miag3stosani </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @GestosaniMia </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Alexis showed her 3&amp;D impact as she shot the ball very well from behind the arc and was an aggressive on-ball defender. She listed her position as a PF but showed her versatility on both ends of the floor. Defensively, she defends inside and out, while offensively, her strength was her perimeter shooting, but she showed the ability to score inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":947990,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/07/PGH-Elyse-Samone-Williams-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-947990" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>E'lyse Samone Williams </strong>(5'7/PG/'26/All ARKANSAS Red) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Le_LeDaGreat</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">E'lyse made her impact on the defensive end of the floor as he showed she is a really good man-defender, helper, and communicator. She made hustle plays as well as winning plays that were not scoring plays. She did not need to score to make her impact, but she did show her ability to knock down the trey ball. For everyone who thinks defense does not get you noticed, E'lyse proved that thought process wrong.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":947991,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/07/PGH-Otiscia-Towns-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-947991" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='382877' first='Otiscia' last='Towns'] </strong>(5'7/PG/'25/All Alabama) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: ot.upnext</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @OtisciaTowns</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Otiscia is a floor general with a mature floor game. She plays unselfish and is a pass-first PG who defers her shot opportunities to her teammates. She has a knack for getting her teammates the rock and making everyone happy with their touches. Otiscia plays like a coach on the floor and really excels at running the offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":947992,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/07/PGH-Marckalia-Celestine-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-947992" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Marckalia Celestine </strong>(6'2/PF/'25/CyFair Premier) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: _marckalia.jade._ / cyfairpremier</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @cyfairpremier</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Marckalia made her impact on the inside as she was a dominant force on the boards. She has good size for a post and plays with a lot of energy. She rebounds at a high rate and makes the inside a tough place for opponents to get an advantage. She is still a little raw offensively, but what she does well, which is rebound, she does at a high level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">🏀&nbsp; <strong>Attention Alabama Basketball Players! </strong>🏀</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">We are excited to announce our PGHTop250 Camp happening from September 29 at Spain Park High School!
