<p>The state of Missouri is the home of many talented offensive players who can put the ball in the basket. Prep Girls Hoops Missouri takes a look at some of those players who can not only score, but can also do it in a very creative way. These young ladies are very entertaining to watch. There are many more who belong in this category. I'll just start you off with this group.</p>

<p>Nylah Scales (Cardinal Ritter): The 5'7" 2027 guard is one of the most electric offensive players in the state. She is a three-level scorer who can create her own offense with smooth handles. She also has the ability to break down defenders with escape moves that can buckle their knees, then she will knock down the 3-pointer. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='849019' first='Lily' last='Carr'] (Spokane): The 2027 point guard is a dynamic scoring guard who is fun to watch. I saw her in person as a freshman in the Walnut Grove Tournament a few years back and was impressed. She has developed into quite the scoring machine who can shoot it from deep and create off the dribble with multiple slick moves.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='905177' first='Kate' last='Deck'] (Jackson): The 5'8" 2028 guard is one of the top young prospects in the SEMO area. She established herself as a bonafide bucket last season as a freshman. She's very poised and she is able to create against tough defensive pressure. She can pull up from 3-point distance or maneuver herself into the lane for a mid-range bucket.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='409899' first='Camirah' last='Foster'] (Hazelwood Central): A 5'7" 2026 guard who has enjoyed a fantastic four-year varsity career with the Hawks. She plays with pace, but she is very smooth off the dribble with slick handles. She changes speeds and directions very well and she has a hesitation move that freezes defenders in their tracks.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='848994' first='Millison' last='Sapp'] (Ash Grove): The 2027 guard is another young SWMO talent who I saw as a freshman and have watched her develop into an offensive dynamo as a scorer and shot creator. She has cross-overs and wrap-around moves to drop off defenders to get herself a bucket, which can come from all three levels.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='460893' first='Chloe' last='Jones'] (Willow Springs): The 2026 guard has been a dynamic bucket-getter for her entire four-year career and she has more than 2,000 points to her credit. She can bomb them in from 3-point range, but she can also cross a defender over to knock down a jumper off the dribble. She has been entertaining for Willow Springs fans to watch throughout her career.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1039489' first='Maddie' last='Perry'] (Incarnate Word): A 5'7" 2028 guard who brings instant offense off the bench for a talented Red Knights team that is seeking another state championship. She is a creative young scorer who knows how to put the ball in the basket in a variety of ways. She is capable of losing defenders with quick and shifty escape moves off the dribble and she can also shoot it from downtown.</p>
