Creating Legacies at IE Tournament

At the Thanksgiving Classic, a select group of players did more than score points—they started building legacies or building on them. These were the athletes whose performances rose above the moment, whose impact stretched beyond a single possession, and whose scoring presence changed the entire feel of the game. They didn't just get buckets—they set the tone, established momentum, and carved out moments people will remember long after the weekend ended. Here are the athletes who weren't just hooping—they were creating legacies    [player_tooltip player_id='823463' first='Presley' last='Norman'] was reaching rare air as she threatened the Bulldog three point record with 7 buckets from behind the arc. Already known for her pure three point shooting - Norman set the tone early and seized momentum that the Bulldogs never gave back. Norman can shoot the three ball off the dribble, off the pass, in set offense and in transition, and when she is locked in, the three ball delivers in abundant fashion. On that evening, each three was personal redemption for Norman's previous outing when the three ball didn't fall a single time. Her seven three point effort didn't just set the tone, it reminded Florida basketball what a pure shooter looks like.     [player_tooltip player_id='515064' first='Kathleen' last='Crawley'] delivered a ten piece on Day 3 and had Social Media buzzing! It wasn't just ten buckets - it was 10 threes, thirty points, a week's worth of perimeter production delivered in one outing. That performance was more than a tone setter - it hijacked momentum from the opponent. Crawley delivered a similar performance early in the week and the shooting clinic continued on Day three. Crawley's shooting performance was one of the main storylines at this year's Thanksgiving Classic. Crawley's performance will echo far beyond the last piece of key lime pie and all of the leftover turkey sandwiches next week. They will be talking about this performance years from now.     [player_tooltip player_id='708143' first='Kendall' last='Proffitt'] delivered a standout performance at the Thanksgiving Classic - going for 30 and delivering one of her greatest performances as a high school hoopers. It wasn't just the buckets, it was the precision that set the tone and separated her from a lot of prospects in the State of Florida. Proffitt is positioned to set scoring records that may last for decades, but for now she is taking it game by game- the way legacies start out.     [player_tooltip player_id='468627' first='Jasleen' last='Green'] came down the court and the defender went for the steal. Green calmly completed a crossover dribble through the legs, took a few more dribbles and launched a three at the top of the key for a swishing three. Green is a top 10 player in a loaded class and even battling a flu bug or flu-like, the Arizona commit balled out and continued building on a career and legacy. Green connected on threes, got to the rim, and performed well.     [player_tooltip player_id='1092442' first='London' last='Thomas'] continues to build on her legacy and when it's all said and done it could be a great one. Thomas sits near the top of the 2028 rankings and has a college-ready game with her ability to score from multiple levels, handle the ball, and impact the game in all areas. At the Inside Exposure tournament, Thomas dropped near 20 and hit the game winner with less than a second remaining. That's the stuff legacies are made of or at least building blocks for the future. The future is bright for Thomas and yes she was a standout at the Inside Exposure tournament.
