<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='527479' first='Mya' last='Kochuten'] is an exceptional point guard from Spearfish, mostly known for her elite shooting range and playmaking abilities. Her ability to knock down shots from well beyond the three stretch defenses out and make space for herself and her teammates. She has a great feel for the game and makes quick, effective decisions on offense. A true playmaker she brings great energy and ability to the floor and elevates the play of everyone around her. Ice in her veins, she isn't afraid of a big shot or being under the lights. On defense she is a playmaker as well as she anticipates well to create turnovers, sparking fast break opportunities for her squad. A smooth operator in transition she understands how to read defenders in knowing when to score it or dish it to someone else. This young lady has an excellent combination of scoring and play-making ability and is a senior to watch as she heads into her senior season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Althea is a dynamic guard in a forward's body. She has a great blend of length, strength, athletic-ability, and basketball smarts. Well known for her elite range and consistency from deep, she puts immense pressure on defenses to come out and guard her well beyond the arc. Combine this with fantastic moves to get into the paint and score and you have a really talented offensive presence. Her court vision and selflessness make her an individual who will consistently find open teammates and get her offense a great shot no matter whether it is leaving her hand or not. Add in that she's a lefty and you have a really rare find in this class. Defensively she excels as a lockdown player who is capable of shutting down almost any player at any position. She disrupts offensive player's game and gives her team a go to option when you need a stop. Overall, her combination of 1v1 defense ability, diverse scoring game, and playmaking skills make her a an invaluable asset to her Tornado squad and a player who has game that can translate to the next level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lennix is a standout point guard who can make plays on offense and contain the ball on defense. She has impressive shooting and driving abilities. Her speed allows her to navigate through the defense with ease and she excels at getting to the rim and finishing even with traffic. She is a constant offensive threat as she can put it on the floor or light it up from deep. Applying ball pressure, keeping the ball in front, and playing with grit and tenacity make her valuable on the defensive team as well. What sets her apart from other guards to me is she is a true operator of the team, orchestrating offense, communicating, and playing with high energy. She is a versatile player who enhances her overall team's ability. Her game looks to seamlessly translate at the next level and I expect her to be a prospect who finds a home at the college level soon.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Sloane is a play-making point guard who has a really well-rounded skill set with an ability to score from all levels as well as create for others. She can create her own shot off the dribble, knock down open three's, and make tough finishes at the basket. She is a versatile guard who is effective with or without the ball in her hands and has zero fear in the big moment. Her physicality on defense allows her to apply intense ball pressure while staying in front of opposing guards. She is a valuable perimeter rebounder as well which further emphasizes the all-around game this senior shows off. Look for her to continue to showcase her skills this winter and find a home at the next level as a dynamic guard who would fit just about any system.</p>
