Though undersized, she plays with confidence and has a defined role within her squad as a floor spacer and shot-maker. She also serves as a secondary ball-handler, helping to keep the offense fluid and organized. Defensively, she brings on-ball pressure and plays with energy, making her a two-way contributor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1268430,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/PGH-Aubriee-Nevaeh-Washington-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1268430" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Aubriee Nevaeh Washington</strong> (5'6/SF/2030/Southern Queens) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: kuffnofemale / southernqueens25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Aubriee is a perimeter talent who stands out as a pure shooter. Whether it's knocking down shots from deep or pulling up in the mid-range, her shooting stroke is a weapon. While her overall game is still developing, her ability to space the floor and defend in open space gives her a clear foundation to build on. With continued development, she projects as a valuable scoring threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1268431,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/PGH-Erin-Mcghee-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1268431" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Erin Mcghee</strong> (4'11/PG/2031/Lady N.E.T) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Bucketgirlerin / un.knownloner23 / Net_fam2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Netfam2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Erin is a passionate lead guard who is the emotional leader for her squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Despite her size, she is a fearless and passionate competitor. She thrives by getting into the paint, scoring from the mid-range, and even connecting from deep. Her court presence is felt on every possession, and she brings a motor on both ends. She shows strong early signs of PG instincts, and as a rising 7th grader, her upside is promising. Her passion, leadership, and competitive fire make her one to track moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1268432,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/PGH-Azareiya-Houston-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1268432" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Azareiya Houston</strong> (5'8/G|F/2028/Southern Queens) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: iiheartt.nana3 / southernqueens25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Azareiya was one of the most impressive and complete players in the girls' division. She is a versatile playmaker with size, strength, and skill, and she plays both guard and forward roles seamlessly. She creates off the bounce, finishes through contact, and consistently makes plays at the rim. Her ability to push the pace, handle in transition, and read the floor shows advanced maturity. She dominated stretches of play and proved to be the best player on the court when she was in action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1268433,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/PGH-Kelley-Anne-Mooney-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1268433" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1268575' first='Kelley' last='Anne Mooney']</strong> (5'3/CG/2029/Lady Hawks) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: ga_eliteladyhawks</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kelley is a heady combo guard who stood out with her IQ and composure. She rarely forces the issue and instead plays with patience, letting the game come to her. Offensively, she can score from deep and off the bounce, showcasing her versatility. However, her most valuable contribution may be her ability to create opportunities for others. As a playmaker, she consistently finds ways to generate quality looks for her team, making her an important piece in her squad's offensive flow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
