<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops North Carolina has been updating their rankings this month.  We've already updated you on the new additions to the class of 2027, so here are the latest stock risers from this update.  These four athletes all happen to be a major reason their schools are reigning state champions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

first='Brooke' last='Busby'] continues to play with springs in her shoes with her athleticism and ability to contribute on so many levels.  She handles the ball well controlling the tempo and directing her teammates where to go, and she is a sure bet pulling up from deep knocking her shot down from deep.  Her IQ especially comes out on defense with her ability to anticipate what her opponents will do and make it difficult for them to even get by her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

ball handler who just has a nose for finding the open lane and getting to the rim.  Even under the big lights, she came to play with a smile on her face making sure she showed off her skills using her handles to get by her opponents.  She knows how to create space for herself or draw defenders towards her to create some space for her teammates.  She can pull up from anywhere on the court, too, to show off her shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

be a defensive nightmare, and she knows how to make offensive plays run through her.  She handles the ball well attacking the basket or making the sharp pass from the free throw line.  She goes to work on the block using her quick feet and big strides to get into position to score her points.  Her ability to grab rebounds on both ends of the court is definitely an asset.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph

player_id='898103' first='Willow' last='Bass'] can get absolutely hot with her shooting from around the perimeter even pulling up for some logo shots with confidence.  She knows how to fill her role based on the personnel on the court whether she needs to handle the ball bringing it up and starting some offensive sets or sets herself up around the arc getting open for the pass and shot.  She sees the floor well finding her open teammates, too, as they flash to the basket hitting them in stride.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
