They have a talented Big 3 of veterans in 6'0" 2025 McKenna Jennings, 5'9" 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1020457' first='Madison' last='Washington'] and 6'0" 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1151469' first='Heidi' last='Pickett']. All are three-year starters that have been instrumental in the team's success over the years. West also has a pair of capable point guards in 2025 Madison Blomenkamp and 2027 Jayla Davis.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1050127,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/10/IMG_7532.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1050127" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Principia: The Panthers have a talented young team that earned a berth in the Class 2 state championship game last year. They have added some good young talented to an already good returning nucleus. The top player back is 6'2" 2027 forward [player_tooltip player_id='791650' first='Dasia' last='Scott'], a Division I prospect who is the No. 1 player in the class statewide. A pair of 5'7" guards also back are 2026 [player_tooltip player_id='740676' first='Jayla' last='Hawkins'] and 2027 Nya Walker. Principia also has some very talented 2028s on board in point guard Loganna Love, athletic 5'9" forward Paige Ivy and point guard [player_tooltip player_id='999534' first='Nadia' last='Bateman'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1050130,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/10/IMG_7530.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1050130" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hazelwood West: The Wildcats look like a team on the rise as they boast some very nice young talent, which will make an immediate impact this season. The best of the bunch is 5'10" 2028 guard [player_tooltip player_id='1039529' first='Jamiah' last='Herring-Green'], who is a very talented offensive player. Another 2028 guard who will be a factor is Zay'niyah Jackson, who has good quickness. Another freshman who was not there on Sunday, but will be a strong player is 6'3" forward [player_tooltip player_id='1039469' first='Ava' last='Wilson']. A pair of 2025 guards with good quickness and defensive ability are Pharra Jones and Day'ona Collins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1050132,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/10/IMG_7526.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1050132" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Webster Groves: The Stateswomen featured a pair of talented perimeter shooting guards in 5'9" 2026 [player_tooltip player_id='1044971' first='Ava' last='Vanecek'] and 5'5" 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='1044977' first='Hadley' last='Nordmann']. If either of them got a good look from 3-point range, it was hitting the bottom of the net. I was also impressed with 5'10" 2027 forward [player_tooltip player_id='1117233' first='Kyndal' last='Richardson'], who has good athleticism. Webster was without its top frontcourt player in 5'11" 2025 forward [player_tooltip player_id='804469' first='Ainsley' last='Kniker'] on Sunday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1050133,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/10/IMG_7520.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1050133" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Parkway South: The Lady Patriots have a strong inside-outside combination is 6'2" 2025 forward [player_tooltip player_id='634033' first='Ava' last='McCulla'] and 5'7" 2027 guard Gabby Bonge. McCulla is a force in the paint as a scorer and rebounder while Bonge is an excellent 3-point shooter. Bonge's twin sister, Lilly, is a 5'11" sophomore who has good potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
