Good Connectors on the Court

Prep Girls Hoops Missouri takes a look at some of the very good connectors that we watched during the summer. These young ladies are very good players that do a lot of positive things that can impact the game and help the team succeed.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/08/IMG_5915.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-959874" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='296935' first='Avery' last='Rausch'] (Earl Watson Academy 17U): A 5'11" 2025 guard from Lee's Summit who excels at multiple positions on the court. She's a very capable offensive player, but she is also an excellent ball handler and facilitator. She makes the offensive flow smoothly with her skill level and decision making. She always stays in the right position on the defensive end. She just gave a commitment to Truman State.     ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/07/IMG_6020.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-946326" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='874623' first='Brooke' last='Teter'] (SWMO Storm 17U): The 5'10" guard from Nixa was a propeller on the court with how the ball just kept moving through her hands without ever sticking. She was always looking to advance the ball upcourt with the quick pass as well. It made for very good team offensive. She was also very active on the boards, especially on offense where she hustled to get extra possessions for her team. She was also very effective when she was on the drive.     ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/08/IMG_6218.jpeg?w=782" alt="" class="wp-image-960497" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='302377' first='Brooke' last='Boyce'] (Phee Elite Olufson 17U): A 5'9" 2025 guard from Cardinal Ritter who is a coach's daughter and it shows in her fundamentally sound game at both ends of the court. She is a solid position defender who can also make plays with deflections and steals because she stays in the right spots. She is a good secondary ball handler who passes well and makes good decisions. She will also knock down open perimeter shots.     *******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/IMG_2253-1.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-676735" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='633959' first='Hailey' last='Rademan'] (MO Phenom Baggett 17U): A 5'9" 2025 guard from California who is an excellent all-purpose player. She does the little things on the court such as blocking out for rebounds and setting good screens. Her positioning on defense is always good, which leads to steals and blocks. She moves without the ball well and can also deliver the pinpoint pass. Her activity always keeps her around the ball. She also hits the high post jumper and the Corner 3-pointer.     ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/IMG_0002.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-637441" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='351778' first='Savannah' last='Stricker'] (Phee Elite Olufson 16U): A 5'10" 2026 guard from Incarnate Word Academy who can play any position from the one to the four comfortably with her versatility and high basketball IQ. She is a tremendous passer who finds open teammates and hits them with dimes while in a good rhythm to score. She also handles the ball and makes open perimeter shots. She stays in the right spots on the defensive end as she is a good communicator. She anticipates well on the full court press to gobble up steals. She has already received multiple Division I scholarship offers.     ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/08/IMG_5837.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-960501" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='893187' first='Jocelyn' last='Lincoln'] program_tooltip program_id='715428' first='Real' last='Dream Chasers'] 17U): A 5'10" 2025 forward from Kearney who impressed me with a lot of the little things she did in the front court. She provided a lot of toughness with her physical play at both ends of the court. She is an excellent screener who got her teammates open. She's a good rebounder who was blocking out when every shot went up. If she didn't get the board, she made sure a teammate got it. She also passed it well from the high post.   *******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/08/IMG_5856.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-960498" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='509975' first='Ava' last='Hughes'] (Phee Elite Wilkinson 17U): A 5'10" 2025 guard from Hermann who plays every position with her height, physical strength and high basketball IQ. She can really guard on the perimeter and be disruptive or she can defend in the post when needed. She handles the ball and facilitates offense well and she is a tough post player who is also effective on the drive. She has received offers and interest from several small colleges.
