Previewing the Leagcy Region Kick-Off

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Legacy Region Kick-Off tips off this evening, and we have a few more kids to highlight before the games start. We'll have more about intriguing performers tomorrow, so let's finish previewing the event today.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1226502' first='Emily' last='Sewell']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Grafton guard has potential. She has quickness and ball handling, which could develop into something. Having the tools to get by her initial defender builds confidence, and she can break defenses down with that ability to get by people. Sometimes, she gets into trouble by attacking a space that doesn't have room to operate, but there are plenty of tools to work within her game. Sewell wants to get better and has the athletic tools to be a lead guard at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='777574' first='Jade' last='Kroll']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A Northeast Wisconsin native, Kroll has stood out at Kewaunee the last few seasons. Kroll is the focal point of what the Storm has done, and she's excelled in her high-usage role. The Kewaunee native can score from all three levels, is a solid athlete, and has the power to play through traffic when teams collapse on her drives. Kroll is a kid who may not be on some schools' radars heading into the AAU season, but I'd recommend small schools see her plays and decide if she may fit their program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='751280' first='Rihanna' last='Barker']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've loved Barker since I first learned about her at the Freshman Showcase a few years ago, and it's hard to believe the next time she suits up for Kenosha Bradford, she'll be a junior. However, her motor and ability to make plays on both ends of the floor are her appeal. Barker is a physical defender who can defend multiple positions and has excelled in her role on that end of the floor. Her motor and activity on both ends of the floor suit the AAU game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='751281' first='Rita' last='Kuepper']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The most creative lead guard in the 2027 class will play up with her 2027 Playground Elite group. The offensive end is where Kuepper will thrive this summer. Against one of the most talented groups in the country, All Iowa Attack, at Summer Jam last season, Kuepper looked like the best player on the floor for a half. No matter what their defense did in that half, Kuepper had an answer and showed how gifted she was on that end of the floor. She'll start her AAU season this weekend in New Berlin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
