She was constantly attacking the lane on dribble penetration and she does a remarkable job of finishing in the lane for a player of her diminutive height. She can also hit open 3-point shots. She is also a tenacious on-ball defender on the full court press.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1833548,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/04/IMG_0869.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1833548" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1447850' first='Lilah' last='Porter'] ([program_tooltip program_id='948123' first='TC' last='Hoops']): A 5'10 2028 forward from Puxico who was a tough matchup throughout the weekend with her height and overall skill set. She was putting pressure on the defense with her athleticism and ability to attack off the dribble. She was also stepping out and knocking down multiple 3-pointers. She was also a factor on the defensive end as she was able to block shots inside and on the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1833557,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/04/IMG_0852.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1833557" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>CeCe Kay ([program_tooltip program_id='712817' first='Southeast' last='Dynasty']): A 5'8" 2028 guard from Ste. Genevieve who is an excellent all-purpose player who can impact the game in a variety of ways. She is a very good ball handler who was facilitating offense.
