The League showcased talent from Columbia, Duval, Clay, St Johns, and talent from across the State line. In this article, we look at more players who stood out this past weekend. Note, the majority of these players are 9th and 10th graders, which speaks volumes about the state of girls basketball in the North Florida area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["897274"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f117e7b67b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='897274' first='Bryonna' last='Grimes'] got the award for the best shooter in the house this past weekend. Grimes is a natural shooter and it looks like money every time she pulls up for the jumper. Grimes also has a nice midrange game. She is a leader on the court and when she is on the floor it stands out. Grimes does more on the floor than just launch threes. She has very good handles, passes the ball well, and has a high basketball IQ. She sees the floor well and has a very natural feel for the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["928406"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f11a2c7a9c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='928406' first='Malekhi' last='Merritt'] was one of the top young players at the H2 Hoops Fall ball. Merritt is fast and can get down the court in a hurry.&nbsp; She plays on both ends of the court.&nbsp; Offensively, she showcased a nice three-point stroke, connecting on a few threes from the corner. Merritt does not hesitate to take it to the rim and she has the craftiness to get to the rim with speed, crossovers, and euros. Defensively, she had the “block of the day, “ when she took a shot out of the air on a&nbsp; breakaway fast break. Merritt is a talent and her athleticism jumps off the page.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["708143"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f11ca95e4a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='708143' first='Kendall' last='Proffitt'] was one of the top shooters in the house.

She can also run the point out of necessity which speaks to her versatility as a player. But, make no mistake- she is a bonafide sniper on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["748572"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f11ac25cb4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='748572' first='Jayde' last='Brant'] showed the quicks on the floor and her ability to blow by a defender or knife into the paint for a shot was impressive. Brant has a lot of shiftiness to compliment her speed. She is built low to the ground, dribbles low, and not many can stay in front of her. Brant also plays on the defensive end where she is an aggressive in-your-face defender with great lateral movement. She creates steals and turnovers with her aggressive defensive play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["804264"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1004965,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f11b6142845"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='981281' first='Zuri' last='Hollie'] was a standout on the floor and was one of the most physically gifted players in the building. Hollie attacks the rim and has the ability to score on the inside through a lot of contact. She has a lot of powers and physicality to her game and is a nightmare in the paint. She gets to the freethrow line a lot. The young power forward can also step out and occasionally knock down the three, but her main strengths are in the transition game and attacking the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[933334],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f11e64d9750"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='933334' first='Shelby' last='Gaines'] showed some nice things over the weekend at the H2 Hoops Fall league. Gaines is a versatile player who does a lot of things on the floor. Her impact on the court can't be measured in points alone. She is one of the primary ball handlers, plays very good defense, and has the ability to get to the rim and score or dish to the open teammate. Gaines is a selfless player who does what it takes to win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1004974"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f11e64d97a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1004974' first='Tanesha' last='Sloan'] 2026, 6'0 played well at the Fall Showcase. Sloan was the most imposing player on the court. Her best offensive days are ahead of her, but her defense was on time. The Junior post player was a presence in the paint and blocked several shots in her domain. Sloan has good hands and finished well on the inside. Her ability to run the floor and finish on the break was impressive for a power forward - center. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["819896"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1004983,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f12049601c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='819896' first='Ashantii' last='Williams'] was another impressive player I saw at the H2 Fall League. Williams did a little of everything. She plays on the inside, plays on the outside, rebounds well, and runs the floor well. In other words, the Junior forward is a workhorse. Her versatility, motor, talent and length were very impressive and she stood out at the H2 Hoops fall ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
