<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Team 7</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>FInley Love - Rapid City Stevens, SD - 5'5" G - Class of 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Finley was one of the top performers at this combine and it started early on in the 3 on 3 session. She was one of the best overall scorers in this game, draining three's, pulling up off the dribble and knocking down mid-range jumpers, and blowing by defenders to score at the rim. She operates really well in space and has a knack for getting herself open with or without the ball in her hand. You could tell she came into this event with a competitive mindset and she really got after it right away in these early sessions.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Madyson Prevail - Sioux City West, IA - 5'5" G - Class of 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Mady had a really strong performance in this game. She showed off really strong handles, taking care of the basketball and setting up her teammates for opportunies to score. Hitting multiple 3's she showed off her shooting range as well. Her communication on offense was really impressive and she always had her hands and feet ready to catch the ball and challenge the defense with a shot or driving into the gaps and putting pressure on the help.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='929565' first='Lauren' last='Minion'] - Brandon Valley, SD - 5'6" G - Class of 2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lauren rounded out a really solid overall Team 7 as another prospect who could get it done in the scoring department. She did an excellent job using dribble moves to work her way into the mid-range and knock down jump shots. Her shot is fundamentally sound and she does a nice job getting it off over the defense.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Team 8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='616252' first='Amari' last='Ward'] - Sioux Valley, SD - 5'5" G - Class of 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Amari was one of the hardest-working prospects at the expo. She has a great motor and gets after it on both ends. Defensively she does a nice job 1v1 and pressures the ball while keeping her matchup contained. She positions herself well in the gap and the help side and forced turnovers for the opposing squad. On offense she showed a really qucik burst and a great first step to get by her defender and get to the rim. She made some of the toughest finishes in the game and really made the defense pay for letting her get into the paint.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1047797' first='Shayla' last='Rath'] - Mobridge-Pollack, SD - 5'7" F - Class of 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Shayla is a high energy guard who contributed on both ends. She took shots when she got the opportunity and looked to be a player that came to develop her game. She made the most of her opportunities and played with high energy during the event.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='935273' first='Violet' last='Richman'] - Maple Valley, ND - 5'7" - F - Class of 2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Violet showed up early and often throughout the combine and looked absolutely unstoppable during the 3v3 session. She had several dribble moves to get by the defense and had one of the most impressive reverse layup finishes of the day at one point during the game. She is very long and uses her body well to get by defenders with step-throughs and can elevate up and over the defense as well. She has a really nice rhythmic dip of the ball and gets her shot off quickly and efficiently from deep. There was a step-back three she hit late in the game that caught the attention of everyone watching. She stood out even amongst other top athletes in the combine.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
