Standout Forwards at the Bluefish Shootout

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops Missouri takes a look at some of the standout forwards who caught our eye while watching the Bluefish Shootout, which was held at Rolla High.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='722136' first='Ava' last='Schlotzhauer'] (Tipton): The 5'10" 2026 forward scored 26 points in the victory over West Plains. She is a formidable player in the low post, but she has really developed into an inside-outside threat on offense. She was handling the ball well in the open court and dropping off some nice dimes. She was also hitting the 3-pointer off the catch. When she got the ball in the paint, she was hard to stop when she got the ball to her left hand to wheel and deal. She is very good with both hands, which makes her tougher to stop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='777610' first='Ellie' last='Moore'] (Troy): A 6'0" 2027 forward who is a versatile talent who can excel at multiple spots on the floor. She is a good secondary ball handler who can facilitate offense comfortably. She drives it well and can hit the 3-pointer. She was also posting up well to score in the paint. She was effective on the offensive boards with good second and third efforts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='954858' first='Gillian' last='Green'] (West Plains): A 6'0" 2028 guard who scored 14 points against Tipton. She showcased her versatile offensive skill set, where her turn and face game is very effective. She would get into the lane and knock down mid-range jumpers with a soft touch. She could also hit the 3-pointer off the pick and pop and she used her strength to get a bucket in the low post when she went inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='493412' first='Harper' last='Floyd'] (Willard): A 6'0" 2026 forward who has some very good fundamentals in the low post. She could back down defenders into the paint to draw a double team, then kick the ball out to an open shooter. She has a nice touch around the basket. She also had an impressive rim run for a bucket in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='921823' first='Bella' last='Campbell'] (Rolla): A 5'11" 2029 forward who is an immediate impact player along the front line. I was very impressed with her passing ability. She was entering the ball into the post very well and putting passes on the money. She is a strong, physical player who has a nice touch in the low post. She also hit a nice 15-footer off the bounce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1235023' first='Claire' last='Morris'] (Helias): A 5'9" 2026 forward who is undersized inside, but she is very effective against taller players. She has some tough physical moves in the post that resulted in scores. I like how she ran the court to establish early position in the low post. She was also driving it well from the perimeter, especially when she got to her dominant right hand.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Delani Wahome (West Plains): A 6'1" 2027 forward who has continued to show a lot of improvement. When she entered the game, she established a strong presence in the low post. She got a good seal and she scored on a drop step. She had some quick moves in the low post. She also made a nice move from the high post.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
