<p class="text-gray-700">Without a doubt, Elise had a memorable career for Anthony Wayne. The Villanova signee is one of the most complete players in the Buckeye State with great size and a frame that could handle the physical play in the paint. Outstanding perimeter game with deep range and the knack to get her shot off quickly. Averaged over 24 points per game. <strong>Elise has been chosen as the PGH Ohio Division 2 Player of the Year. </strong><em>(Featured photo above)</em></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the most electric athletes in Ohio, Peanut is in control with the basketball in her hands. Great handles and court vision to get everyone involved. She also pushes tempo and can fly coast to coast! Plays with a great swag and her defense is also strong, forcing mistakes. She averaged close to 19 points per game. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">She has lived up to the hype she received when stepping onto the floor as a freshman, now a.year older and a year better. She moves well without the ball, does a good job sealing off her opponent and able to score at the rim. Good moves, she is so strong with the ball. The Power 5s are knocking on the door! Averaged 20 points per game. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">She is fun to watch do her job! Jenna is so active with the basketball, very strong rebounder and can finish at the rim. She has very good footwork and elevates well to score over her defender. Loves to play fast, can lead the break and create scoring chances for her team with great court vision. Consistent and scored over 20 per game. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The progression she has made over the past couple of years is very noticeable due to the work she has done with her coaches. Daniah is such a smooth player around the rim with great hands and the ability to score with contact. She will be heading off to Buffalo in the fall and continue to grow her game. Scored at 15 points per game this season. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Bender sisters have been causing headaches for opposing coaches for four years now, and like her sister, Brooke had an amazing career! She was very effective at both ends of the floor, and played the game with a good demeanor. Good perimeter game, agile and able to finish. A big factor in the success of Anthony Wayne this season with a trip to the Final Four! </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Strawberry is here... and she showed all season long that she can either be a major scoring force, or facilitate the offense for Winton Woods. That team is so talented and finished 27-0 on the season. Berry is so explosive with the ball, has an unstoppable first-step to the rim. She is all over the place with active hands and sometimes you just stop and watch her work. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Maddie is a super talented kid in a strong system at Olmsted Falls that included a state title her junior season. Now as a senior, she has grasped the bigger leadership role. Love her quick shot release off the screen, can knock them down from long range. Her basketball intelligence is very good, a player who will do whatever it takes on the court for her team to succeed. She is headed to Walsh in the fall. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">This 1,000-point scorer and signee with Milwaukee leaves her career with a lot of strong memories on the court. She displays great footwork and is a very active player at the rim. Very solid moves and she has a smooth touch in the paint. Great length, protects the rim well. She dropped over 15 per game this season. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Talk about stepping into a new game, Aubrey has done just that. The amount of improvement she has made is tremendous and still is working on her craft. Spark plug with the ball, pushes north-south well and fiery on the defensive end. Can knock down the three with ease and plays with so much energy. She is the best D2 player in the Dayton area. Averaged 15 points, almost 7 boards, 3 assists and close to 4 steals per game.</p>
