Summer Starcade Shootout: High Octane Playmakers

June ignited the scholastic summer basketball scene with unmatched energy and excitement, and the Summer Starcade Shootout, held at Queen Creek High School, was a standout event that set the stage for the highly anticipated scholastic live period. This premier showcase brought together elite talent, intense competition, and a platform for prospects to make their presence known. Among the many standout performances. Here's a closer look at the high octane playmakers:    [player_tooltip player_id='847114' first='Chanel' last='Yellowman'] stands out as a highly skilled guard with a solid skill set. She consistently demonstrates the ability to survey the floor, making smart decisions and directing the offense with poise and confidence. Her handles are tight, allowing her to navigate through defenses and create scoring opportunities for herself and her teammates. Additionally, Chanel has the ability to knock down shots from long range. Her offensive versatility and court awareness make her a major threat in both the half-court and transition. Yellowman's recruiting stock should spike into the winter.     Freeman is an athletic play maker whose toughness and competitive nature makes her standout on both ends of the court. She excels at attacking the rim, using her quickness and explosiveness to break down defenses and create opportunities for herself and her teammates. Defensively, she is a tenacious guard, constantly pressuring the ball and disrupting opposing offenses. Her ability to lock up opponents devastates the opposition. Freeman will be an x-factor on why Higley makes a deep run this winter. College coaches make sure to put Freeman on your radar!     Aaliyah Brooks is a tough, physical player who dominates on both ends of the floor. On offense, she thrives as a slasher, using her strength and agility to drive to the basket and finish through contact. On the defensive end, she brings tenacity, applying pressure and using her physicality to disrupt opponents. Her all-around toughness, combined with play-making ability will help her recruiting stock. A hidden gem that could benefit a roster of a small college or JUCO.     Motter is a vocal leader and "coach on the floor," constantly directing her teammates and elevating the intensity of the game. Her high energy and passion are contagious, as she brings a relentless motor to every possession. Physically, she is a force, attacking the basket with a downhill mentality that allows her to power through defenders and finish around the rim. Motter will be a solid college prospect and her game has been growing on me this summer.     Stuebs is a crafty guard with a deceptive playing style that keeps defenders on their toes. Her explosive first step allows her to blow-by defenders with ease, quickly getting into the lane and creating scoring opportunities or dishing the ball to open teammates. Her craftiness in the open court and in tight spaces makes her a constant threat, as she can weave through traffic and finish around the rim. I expect her to be a big part of Cibola's success this season. Small college coaches tap into this hidden gem!
