Lockdown Performers: Top Defenders at the Southeast Region Finals

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops is hosting their Southeast Region Finals this weekend in Columbus, Georgia where teams from all over the southeast are competing as May comes to an end.  These athletes have stood out to me for many reasons but especially their defense.  Here are my notes from watching them play Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

her opponents.  She was aggressive tying up the ball and taking over for her team pushing it to the other end of the court.  She runs the floor well in transition being ready for the pass and bucket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

defense and being effective getting in the way of passes.  She's very quick laterally, and she uses that quickness on the other end of the court attacking the basket.  She finds her open teammates making plays for them, too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
