Five Players Working In Their Roles

What role you are for you team might change but in general, your role is what you can do best while helping your team succeed.   Here is a group of players that work hard in their roles, whatever they might be and that brings a good amount of success to everyone involved because of it.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    AB has a play style that is confident and efficient. Baumann is a 5'6 guard who really plays the game the right way. She is a selfless prospect, that just has solid fundamentals. She always gives it her all on both sides of the floor and that stands out. Throughout the past few years Baumann has shown more and more progress as a player. She has learned to create, rebound, and defend at a consistent rate when she see's the floor and I'm hoping we can see more of that first hand this upcoming Winter for her Senior season.     Westview High School had some convincing wins last Winter during their 2024/2025 high school season. This Winter they return most from the previous past for another go around, looking to make some even bigger waves this time around. Someone who was a role player a year ago, who will be crucial yet again is Forward - [player_tooltip player_id='901687' first='Olivia' last='Ross']. Ross is listed as a PF but I see her game more as a a SF/CG with her athletic versatility. Offensively, she can bruise down-low with her back to the basket or she can attack from 15ft with a dribble or two. Defensively, she can move between positions to guard bigger or smaller. This helps her stay on the floor in a lot of situations. All in all, if Ross and Westview is ready to bring it this Winter, they should have some major wins before you know it.     We have seen glimpses of [player_tooltip player_id='899611' first='Nora' last='Farrington'] and what she can really do out on the floor. Farrington has natural instincts when it comes to this game. She jumps to the ball by nature, she is selfless but not to a point of giving up easy opportunities for herself, and she isn't someone that needs possession of the ball all the time to be productive. All three of these things should help Farrington continue to succeed over-time. She is recently coming off of an AAU season with her NE Supreme program giving her some notable experience moving into her Sophomore season at Elkhorn North.     [player_tooltip player_id='985177' first='Parker' last='Minzel'] is a player of opportunity. There is no better way to put it. Minzel is the prospect that loves to move into open space when the defense falls asleep. She cuts, backdoors, and moves with intent. She never seems to stop moving and all of those things combined for a tough individual to guard as a contest progresses on with tired legs. Minzel can also knock down some shots from deep off the catch when others create and drive off the bounce. We have highlighted Millard South for a few days in a row now because of how many solid prospects they will return this Winter and this is another one. Minzel can be a difference maker in her role and we should see that more and more as she gets older.     [player_tooltip player_id='758842' first='Lucy' last='Fierro'] is good enough to compete at the collegiate level. When you are a smaller prospect, you have to be even more thorough in everything you do. You have to be able to adapt in the blink of an eye and you MUST defend. Fierro does all of those things as well as creates for others, making everyone else around her better. This is a prospect that would be considered pass-first as a PG. Now and at the next level. If given the chance to compete following this Winter, Fierro could be a really nice piece to a competitive team in college. She will help you without being a liability and that's not something you can say for everyone.
