<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The Icebreaker Invitational had the young ladies showing off their talents, and here are a few who are off to a hot start…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1225460,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/03/PGH-Alana-DeWitt-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1225460" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='900106' first='Alana' last='DeWitt']</strong> (5'10/G|F/2029/AEBL 15U) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: alana.dewitt</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Alanajdewitt</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Alana was one of the best playmakers in all the girls' divisions. In the game I watched her compete, she started off by looking for her shot from behind the arc, and she caught fire early. As the game went on, she began to show her playmaking abilities and her ability to create her own offense as well as offense for her teammates. Her overall game has improved since the last time I saw her. She handles the ball more effectively and confidently, even under pressure. She showed her ability to run the offense when needed and made good reads and smart passes. Look for Alana to have a stock rising spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1225461,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/03/PGH-Sanaa-Long-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1225461" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1247878' first='Sanaa' last='Long']</strong> (5'10/SF/2029/AEBL) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: sanaalong29</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @SanaaLong2029</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Sanaa had a solid weekend as she competed on both ends of the floor. She leverages her size and motor to often outwork opponents. She showed developing versatility and the ability to do a little bit of everything with her size. She did most of her damage offensively inside the arc with her ability to knock down the midrange and score at the cup off the bounce. She competes on both ends of the floor and can guard multiple positions defensively.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1225462,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/03/PGH-Dakota-Jenkins-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1225462" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Dakota Jenkins</strong> (6'1/F/2029/A'ja Wilson Elite) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Dakota.wentd1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Dakota is a two-way threat on the inside and competes at a high level. There is a lot to like about her game, as she impacts the stat sheet across all categories when it comes to interior play. She does a good job of using her size to her advantage on both ends of the court when scoring around the rim, defending the low block, and being active on the glass. Her defense is ahead of her offense as she is a good interior defender who negates the space necessary for potential scorers to get off their shots. She has to continue to work on attacking the rim instead of fading on some of her shots, but I am sure that will come as she stays in the lab.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1225463,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/03/PGH-Maren-Brasel-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1225463" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Maren Brasel</strong> (5'5/CG/2028/2028 Team Brandon Wright Black) 2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: marenbrasel2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @MarenBrasel&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Maren had a good weekend as she is off to a strong start with her ability to balance facilitating and scoring. She is a multi-level scorer but really produces with her perimeter shooting. She showed she can get her shot off against tough defenders by utilizing her shot craftiness and craftiness off the dribble. As I mentioned earlier, she can knock down catch-and-shoot and off-the-dribble shots. She produces on and off the ball.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1225464,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/03/PGH-Dariyah-Harris-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1225464" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Dariyah Harris</strong> (5'9/CG/2028/[program_tooltip program_id='713492' first='[program_tooltip program_id='713452' first='FBC' last='']' last='Legacy']) 11</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Dariyah2tuff</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Dariyah2tuff</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Dariyah is a straight-line driver who loves to get to the rim. She is a well-rounded and versatile offensive player. She showed to primarily be a slasher who can both finish and find open teammates. She has wiggle with the ball in her hands and does a good job making plays in traffic. She is a strong ball-handler and a crafty passer. She plays both ends of the floor and is a tough, physical on-ball defender.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1225466,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/03/PGH-Amiyah-Carr-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1225466" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Amiyah Carr</strong> (6'2/Center/2029/Palmetto 76ers) 15</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: hoopw._miyahh</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @amiyahcarr13</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Amiyah is a stout interior presence who brings toughness on the inside. She does a good job sealing defenders and making herself big to receive post-entry passes. She uses her footwork and strength to make impactful plays on both ends of the floor. She creates second-chance points with her offensive rebounding and limits opponents to one shot attempt with her activeness on the defensive boards. She needs to continue to work on her hands and being able to step out and produce from the perimeter, particularly the midrange. She is a player whose recruiting will surely be picking up more.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
