<p>With continued coverage from the annual 695 Showcase in Baltimore, Maryland, this article recaps some of the top guard play from the day, highlighting players who consistently made an impact on both ends of the floor.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Roland Park, Baltimore MD</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Naomi is in constant motion without the ball and uses screens effectively to create space for catch-and-shoot opportunities. When bringing the ball up the floor, she has expanded her game by reading her defender, creating separation, and knocking down shots off the dribble.</p>   <p></p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Long Reach, Columbia MD</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Sydney is a tall shooting guard who was thrust into the point guard role with both starting guards unavailable. She ran the offense efficiently, getting her teammates involved while also creating space for her own shot with a controlled step-back. While she is most effective as a spot-up shooter behind the arc, she showed a more thorough, college-style game in this outing as a combo guard.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Jaiden, forced to play out of position at center, showed good awareness in the post while also demonstrating the ability to play on the wing. She used a solid jab step to get into the paint and displayed her ball-handling skills by securing rebounds and initiating the break herself.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Frederick High, Frederick MD</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Jemeirah has a well-rounded game that consistently keeps her on the floor. Her on-ball, man-to-man defense is solid, as she slides her feet well and keeps opponents in front of her. Offensively, she is a natural scorer who prefers to attack the basket but can also knock down timely perimeter shots when her feet are set.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Indian Creek, Crownsville MD</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Norah single-handedly kept her team within reach with her all-around offensive performance. She went 3-for-4 from behind the arc, knocking down timely spot-up threes to stop the opposing team's momentum. Her senior leadership and strong understanding of the game were evident through her off-ball movement, including a well-timed backdoor cut and a transition layup from running the lane. Norah finished the game with 20 points.</p>
