Mystics Get Ready: Feisty Two-Way Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Saturday, April 19th, I drove to Powers Catholic High School for the&nbsp;<a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/michigan-mystics/"><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='715753' first='Michigan' last='Mystics']</strong></a>&nbsp;“Get Ready” tournament. This was a perfect opportunity to see Mystics' best 2026-2028 grades. A few clubs that I haven't had the chance to see yet this spring also attended, making it a productive day for evaluation. I bounced around between the aux and main gym throughout the day, trying to see portions of games from all the teams. Many college coaches were present at the facility, and because there are prospects on every Mystics team that can help a college program at some level, I always enjoy seeing their teams compete. Here are several guards who made a difference with their gritty defensive effort and playmaking on the offensive end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751143"],"_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":1236359,"_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-680699c1edc7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grace looked like the speedy Road Runner for Mystics 2027-S40 on Saturday. She chased the ball all over the court and was a huge factor on the offensive end. Gigi swished two triples up top, sprinted inside to corral multiple offensive rebounds, and scored a sweet reverse. Gigi threw passes on a rope with both hands comfortably and drove hard into a defender's chest to score a tough layup. She swiped the ball away on defense and finished the play with a left-handed layup. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["897063"],"_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":1236364,"_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-680699c1edd59"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Myah is a gritty guard for Mystics 2027-S40, whose effort on both ends stood out at Mystics Get Ready.
