<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops Missouri spent its Saturday at the Coach T Classic at Whitfield School in St Louis. Here is a look at some of the top forwards who caught our attention on Saturday</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039526"],"_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-67f1af7f09711"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'0" 2027 forward was very impressive in the first game that I watched during the morning. Her height and versatile skill set make her a very difficult matchup for opposing defenders. She displayed some slick moves and nice footwork in the lane and a nice touch from 10 to 12 feet. She was also handling the ball well and stepping out and knocking down perimeter jumpers. After enjoying an excellent freshman season, she is going to be a handful for opposing Class 1 teams for the next three years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["722136"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":883815,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67f1af7f09791"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I like to call the 5'10" 2026 forward the "Queen of Undersized Post Players." She may give away inches to taller opponents, but she is always going to find a way to score in the paint. She is physically tough and she has good footwork. When she gets to her dominant left hand on the drive, she is tough to stop and she will also draw contact as well. What's impressive about her is that when she lines it up from the perimeter, she shoots her jumpers right-handed. It may be confusing, but it makes her even more effective.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039467"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1228404,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67f1af7f097ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'0" 2028 post player from South St. Louis has a very impressive skill set in the low post. She establishes excellent position and she can score in a variety of ways. Her footwork is good and she is very patient. She finishes well with a nice touch. She also did a good job of screening and passing well out of the post.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1124557"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1058315,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67f1af7f0984f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 5'10" 2026 small forward who had an impressive performance in the game that I watched against the S.I Hawks. She has very smooth perimeter skills as she can create off the dribble and also go into the post against a smaller defender to take advantage of a mismatch. She also operated well in the high post as a scorer and passer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["803056"],"_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-67f1dd6a35cea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I caught about a quarter of the Phenom 15U EYBL's game and I was impressed with the activity of this 6'2" 2027 forward. With her size and strength, she is tough to handle around the basket when she is active. She's posting up strong, finishing around the basket and rebounding at a high rate. She can also step out and handle the ball on the perimeter when she's needed to. She's going to be an excellent addition to the Rock Bridge program next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
