<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article, we continue looking at the sharp shooters from around the state.

Hardy can also mix it up in the paint, and her physicality is usually overwhelming for the guards she is matched against. Along with the sniper mentality and accuracy, Hardy also brings a lot of physicality to the guard position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["248693"],"_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-670c122186dd1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='248693' first='Riley' last='Stoker'] shot the three ball with unbelievable accuracy last season.

She uses good footwork to score on the turn-around jumper, drop steps, and pivots in the post. Stoker doesn't force anything.

Furthermore, Mengel's ability to create space and shoot the dagger three makes her shooting that much better. She connected on 66 threes from the point position and shot it at a 35 percent rate. Mengel is a player who also shoots it better in crunch time when the game is on the line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["346837"],"_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-670c13c562765"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='346837' first='Asya' last='Lara Barnes']&nbsp; is one of the top shooters, scorers, players, etc, in the State and does a lot on the floor at a very high level. &nbsp; Barnes plays a lot with the ball in her hand and creates her scoring opportunities off of the dribble. &nbsp; In addition to getting to the rim and scoring or playmaking,&nbsp; Barnes is a bonafide three-point shooter. &nbsp; She is one of the most efficient three-point shooters in the state and in the 2025 class. &nbsp;&nbsp;There were several games over the summer where Barnes had at least 25 points and four three-pointers </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["346820"],"_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-670c13c56281d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='346820' first='Abby' last='Knauff'] can string up shots in a hurry, and she is one of the best catch-and-shoot shooters on this list.

Knauff has been in the run for player of the year in the State of Florida. Knauff is athletic and versatile and can score the ball in a multitude of ways.
