<p>Lengthy combo guard that guarded the ball well picking the pockets of the offense and taking it down for easy layups. She showed her ability to score at all three levels as well as create for teammates. Great ball IQ that will continue to get better with time and experience. Very skilled in terms of being able to use both hands with floaters and different finishes around the rim. Rebounded very well from the guard position on both ends. </p>

<p><strong>Zoey Page, 5'5, Combo Guard, Lee Summit West, MO Phenom</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top guards in the entire camp. An aggressive lock down defender that didn't shy away from any of challenges she was faced with in the camp. Had a level of physicality that puts fear in opponents hearts. Handles the ball well and gets down hill when she wants but was unselfish enough to create for teammates when she didn't having scoring opportunities. Showed the ability to knock down the three with some consistency throughout the camp.</p>
