<p>The class of 2027 came out with intensity and playing with a hunger for the upcoming high school season. After evaluating the AM freshman showcase, it was fun to really see the difference in level of play one year of high school basketball can make. From speed of the game to strength level, the sophomore year has higher expectations than freshman year and the showcase attendees are eager for October!</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The player that you can count on to get to their spot <em>every </em>time. On 2 on 1 or 3 on 2 transitions, she understands how to protect the paint. She prevented a lot of easy transition buckets. A defensive IQ like this should not be taken for granted.</p>

Has a quick release 3 point shot and will shoot off the dribble. Roadrunner. Once her team gets the rebound, she is out in transition and running the wide lane looking to pop or penetrate.
