Coach Al’s Notebook- Quick Hitters from Prime East

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Select Events put together another quality event with their annual Prime East Showcase in early June. Here are some players that caught my eye on day two. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='820854' first='Maya' last='Chase'], Power Move, 2027, Guard </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maya locked up on defense as she normally does and continued to show why she's one of the top rebounding guards in the area. I was impressed with offense as well. She showed off some nice power moves around the basket and she has improved her ball handling and passing this summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Qaidence David, Power Move, 2028, Forward </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This was a really good day for the big rising sophomore from Pikesville. She was dominant on the glass which boosted her confidence and allowed her to get some easy buckets. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Addy Marek, Team PA, 2028, Guard/Wing </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Addy came out firing in the game I watched, getting up 8 shots in about 5 minutes. She's a threat to score from anywhere on the court and has a real killer instinct. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Julia Scott, Empire Blue Flames, 2026, Center/Forward</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Long post player with the ability to finish around the basket with both hands. She has good footwork and plays with patience. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1263694' first='Logan' last='Steele'], [program_tooltip program_id='750645' first='Team' last='Melo'], 2029, Power Forward </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Logan is a promising 2029 headed to Forest Park High. She has good size and uses it well around the basket. She is a really good shooter and showed that off in this event. She is deadly in the mid range. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
