<p class="text-gray-700">I have had the pleasure of watching Tegan grow as a player the past three seasons at Sarasota high school. Over that time she has displayed high energy, a team first attitude and entangles any coach would want in their program. Hoffman has a much larger role for the Sailors this year with the graduation of many starters from last season, but it's a challenge the junior has welcomed. She runs the floor well and has a great connection with her teammates in transition. Hoffman is most comfortable on the baseline where she has a knack for getting to the rim, and a very nice jumper. I am excited to see what she does with her increased opportunities.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Aurora caught my eye recently with the way she plays on both ends of the floor. The freshman is aggressive on the boards, physical and plays well through contact. Her toughness and knack for offensive rebounding has helped the Sailors this season when it comes to second chance points and creating problems for opposing teams. Off the ball she cuts well, knows how to find the open gaps in the defense, and can finish in traffic. Ahern has the ability to step out and hit the midrange along with a nice three point shot, combine that with her physical play and she has all the tools to average a double-double and be an All-Area player very soon.</p>

<p>Mia is coming off a season where she helped lead the Bulls to 18 wins and a number 1-seed in regional play. With the departure of Mary Portwood, Parrish will need her to take on more of the scoring load this season, and I'm sure Mia will be up for the challenge. The 5'7 guard can score at all three levels, is an aggressive defender and can handle the ball as well. The couple times I watched her this season I was impressed with her ability to hit the three-ball and her leadership. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Marayah has a quick first step which is why she is able to get to the rim easily. She has the ability to hit shots off the dribble and can space the floor for her teammates by hitting from beyond the arc. Her style of play perfectly fits the identity of the Tornadoes who like to press, play fast, aggressive and use their pressure on defense to create opportunities in transition to get easy points. The 5'7 junior is averaging 3.8 rebounds and just under two steals per game so far this season. For Booker to finally get over the hump and win a state title, they will need Marayah to keep growing as an offensive player and help give them a more balanced attack with an already deep roster of talent.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Solaura is a senior to keep an eye on this year for Palmetto. The 5'4 team captain has continued to improve her game over the last few seasons, and is striving to help the Tigers who are off to a (4-2) start make some noise this year. She plays with a ton of heart, is a willing defender that will guard 94-feet and will create a lot of her offensive from steals and getting buckets in transition. She has a very good set shot, can get to the rim and when she does she can finish with either hand. Right now Solaura is second on the team averaging just under 13 points per game while shooting 38% from the field and 32% from beyond the arc. She is also leading the team in assists per game (3.2) and third in steals (2.4).</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Josie is a player that should get more recognition for what she brings to the table on both ends of the floor for one of the best teams in the state. Much of what the 5'5 guard does doesn't show up on the stat sheet, but her impact is felt and the Cougars value her. She defends 94 feet, is a very good decision maker, instant energy off the bench and has a knack for making the right plays down the stretch of a tight game. Her ability to play so well under pressure vs traps and against the press will be needed for Mooney as they chase that elusive state championship. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I have had the opportunity to watch the freshman play a few times already this season, and each time I walk away even more impressed. Aurora plays hard but under control, she crashes the boards on both ends and has a ton of upside. On the offensive end she moves well without the ball, cuts hard, is good at finding the open gaps in the defense and can finish through contact. She has a nice jump shot from mid-range and can step out and hit the three ball. With the combination of her physical play and offensive potential, she will be averaging a double-double in no time. </p>
