Top Forwards at the Cardinal Ritter Jamboree

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops Missouri takes a look at some of the top forwards who caught our attention at last night's jamboree at Cardinal Ritter College Prep.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='351820' first='Moriyah' last='Douglass'] (John Burroughs): The 6'4" 2026 Texas Tech commit will be doing a lot of multi-tasking this season as she leads this young Bombers team. She displayed that ability on Tuesday night as she played every position on the floor. She did a lot of ball handling and facilitating while also scoring on some tough takes to the basket. She also scored in the low post as she used her height to her advantage. On defense, she controlled the boards well and she used her length to block several shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='734458' first='McKenzie' last='McCann'] (Cardinal Ritter): A 5'10" 2026 forward who plays much bigger than her actual size with her physical strength and high motor. She has a good turn and face game from the high post. She was catching the ball and ripping through and powering her way to the basket. She also rebounds the ball very well and gets out on the break for rim runs. She will also hit the short jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='849001' first='Aziza' last='Hendricks'] (Cardinal Ritter): A 5'11" 2027 forward who is a terrific rebounder who gets boards with tenacity. She has athleticism and a strong motor. She will get out of her area to corral rebounds at both ends of the court. The young lefty was also very effective in the low post. She showed a nice touch around the basket. She also drove it well from the high post and scored through contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1092869' first='Lauren' last='Dorey'] (Jackson): A 6'3 2028 forward who impressed me last night with how she was able to stand up to the very physical play and play effectively. She is a good athlete who runs the court well in transition. She got numerous buckets on rim runs. In the half-court game, she showed the ability to get good seals in the post. She also had a nice up and under move with good footwork. She also passed it out of the post when she saw a double team. She is a promising young post player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='493459' first='Madyson' last='Ford'] (Cardinal Ritter): A 5'9" 2026 forward who comes off the bench and brings a heightened level of physicality to the game. She is strong and she battles taller players to position with tenacity. She had some good seals in the post, which led to drop step layups. She rebounds with effort and she is also a good and willing screener who will find defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1261083' first='Adelyn' last='Abernathy'] (Jackson): A 5'11" 2029 forward who is a high energy player with good athleticism. She was running the court well in transition and she could drive it when she gets to her dominant left hand. She made multiple trips to the free throw line. She also did a good job of getting to the weak side for offensive rebounds and putbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1261080' first='Chloe' last='Abernathy'] (Jackson): A 5'11" 2029 forward who is also a good athlete like her twin sister Addie. She is a solid ball handler who had some nice takes to the basket. She also had some good moments on defense when she used her footwork to steal a post entry, which was impressive for a young player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
