Week 7 Recap- 695Hoops Fall League

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 695Hoops Fall league is winding down and week 7 was one of the best weeks we've had so far. There were several exciting games and here is a look at some of the notable performers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='433964' first='Brooklyn' last='Stewart'], Roland Park, 2027, Guard </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roland Park won handily over Western and a big reason for that was the play of sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='433964' first='Brooklyn' last='Stewart']. Brooklyn is one of the best shooters in the DMV and her shot keeps improving. She showed off a really quick release on her way to 20 points. She's especially dangerous from the corners and if defenders run her off the line she has a nice mid-range game as well. I like her transition game where she is very efficient and patient. She has exceptional speed but plays at her own pace and rarely gets sped up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lucy Soden, Bryn Mawr, 2026, Guard </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lucy is a tough, athletic guard with a high motor and willingness to mix it up in the paint. She's a good shot maker with range out to the three-point line. She does a lot for her team on both ends of the floor and she finished this game with a team high 10 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Khloe Stewart, Forest Park, 2028, Power Forward </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The six-foot freshman was instrumental in Forest Park's win over Bryn Mawr. She was a force on the boards and provided stellar interior defense. She finished the game with 5 points and 9 rebounds. She has a lot of potential and should get a lot of minutes this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='455389' first='Mariah' last='Hardy'], 2025, St. Timothy's, Wing </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mariah continues on her path back from her shoulder injury that has kept her sidelined for a while. She was the difference in their win over Howard as she scored 16 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. She has expanded her range out to the three-point line and is showing a lot of versatility in her game. She's been handling the ball and making good decisions and providing leadership for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='897827' first='Jaelyn' last='Peters'], Spalding, 2027, Wing </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaelyn's transfer in from Mount Hebron looks to be going smoothly. She is providing a lot of intangibles for her new team and is looking more comfortable each week. She's long and athletic and has a high basketball IQ. She's a good communicator on defense and has guarded multiple positions effectively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='569087' first='Mariah' last='Jones-Bey'], Pikesville, 2026, Point Guard </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pikesville was in an early struggle with an up-and-coming Notre Dame Prep squad, but thanks to Mariah they were able to rally and pull away late. Mariah led everyone with 15 points and went on a nice second half scoring binge to tilt the game. She knocked down a three, but most of her damage was done in the paint on drives to the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
