All Freshman Showcase Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops Missouri held its annual Freshman Showcase on Sunday at Chaminade College Prep in St. Louis. The camp featured nearly 50 talented players from all around the state. There were so many excellent players on hand that it was hard to narrow it down to just six players for our All Showcase Team. Here is a look at those six of those players who stood out on Sunday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='750683' first='Jordyn' last='Haywood'] (MICDS): The 6'1" guard was the top prospect in the event as she displayed her vast talent in every aspect of the game. Not only is she an elite athlete, but her fundamentals and basketball IQ are top notch. While everyone else is running, she seems to be gliding up and down the court. She is a three-level scorer who can create her own shot off the dribble and get into the lane. She is also an elite defender with good instincts and the ability to play the passing lanes and disrupt with her length and athleticism. She is the No. 1 prospect in the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Izzy Miller (Jefferson City): A 6'1" forward from Mid Missouri who was also one of the top prospects in the camp. She was a matchup problem with her height and her versatile skill set. She is a very mobile player who runs the court very well in transition. She was getting the ball from the wing and using her strength to power her way to the basket. She was also using her size to score in the low post. She was rebounding the ball and leading the break with her ball handling and passing. She was also knocking down perimeter jumpers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='886539' first='Samaiya' last='Johnson'] (Raymore-Peculiar): A 5'9 guard from the Kansas City area who was a high impact player at both ends of the court. She had one of the most impressive plays of the camp when she made a 60-foot bounce pass with her opposite (left) hand to a running teammate for a transition layup. That was nice. She displayed her offensive skills from all three levels, including shooting range from well past the 3-point line. She was also doing the job of defense as she applied some good on-ball pressure and shot into the passing lanes for steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Annabella Graham (Lafayette): A 5'10" forward who was very impressive in both the 3-on-3 halfcourt games and 5-on-5 full court scrimmages. She was tremendous in the pick-and-roll as she repeatedly made great catches on the roll down and scored on layups. She has good length and mobility as she ran the court easily in the full court games to get easy scores in transition. She can maneuver inside with her footwork while also being comfortable on the perimeter with her ability to handle the ball and drive it. She was very fluid in all of her movements on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Izzy Cherne (Marshfield): A talented 5'9" guard from the SWMO area who was one of the top offensive players in the camp. She got banged up a little bit, but she was able to display her offensive skill set that has already earned interest and an offer from a Division I school in Saint Louis U. She was comfortable offensively from all three levels. She was using her strength to get into the lane and score through contact. She hit multiple shots from well beyond the 3-point line and she was creating off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='886538' first='London' last='Stemmons'] (Columbia, MO): A 5'9" 2029 small forward who really excelled at the camp while playing against older players throughout the day. She displayed her versatility and she played all five positions on the court and did it very well. She has excellent fundamentals and a nice feel for the game. She was rebounding and scoring inside against the taller players. She is a skilled ball handlers and playmaker who made good decisions with the ball. She was scoring on smooth drives to the basket and knocking down open 3-pointers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
