Sandy's Spiel Showcase: Impact Juniors

There were plenty of players in the 'Junior class that performed well at the 7th annual Sandy's Spiel Showcase. These players each had a very positive impact for their teams on Saturday.    It was great to see Munchie back on the floor. In the one game she will play this season, she finished with 17 points and 9 rebounds. Worthy scored from all three levels knocking down shots from three, a midrange jumper from the elbow, and finished on the break for Holy Innocents. Munchie is a matchup nightmare on offense at 6'2 and continues to improve her already good skills on the perimeter. Worthy has great fluidity when she moves at her size.     Bryant has great size on the wing at 5'9 and is strong player with wide shoulders. She is quick with the ball and showed a wide arrange of moves to free herself up to score with jump shots or driving the ball to the basket. Bryant has very good vision ans also did a nice job finding her open teammates. She is a good shooter from three and a very good athlete. In addition to her height, Bryant gets very good elevation on her jump shot allowing her to get the ball off over her defender.     Ezumah had stretches of the game where she flat out dominated the competition. She has very good size and strength which she used well for positioning in the post and blocking out to grab rebounds. One very impressive sequence saw Ezumah grab the rebound on one end drive the ball coast to coast before using some excellent footwork to finish around the defender. She handles the ball great for a player her size and position. Offensively Ezumah played on the attack with aggression and was able to impose her will at times. She finished the game with 22 points, 15 rebounds, and four blocks.     Elder did a nice job playing Robin to [player_tooltip player_id='541419' first='Kate' last='Harpring']'s Batman in a game that saw Harpring score 38 points. Elder got herself open and in positions to score. When the defense collapsed on Harpring, she made the most of the opportunities socring 11 points and helping to take some of the attention of her teammate. Elder made several jumps shot showing nice form, including two three point shots from the corner. She handles the basketball well for and has the potential to be a real threat as a stretch four for Marist in certain matchups as the season moves forward. Elder played great defense getting four steals and also finished with six rebounds.     Murray had one of the best performances of the day helping to carry her Tri Cities team with 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. She was effective scoring the ball in a variety of ways. She knocked down open threes and was just as effective driving the ball to score or find open teammates. Murray was not phased by the contact and found herself at the free throw line often in the game. Murray also had a lot of the ball handling responsibility for Tri Cities where she did a nice job protecting the ball and making good decisions.
