Prep Girls Hoops Missouri takes a look at a group of Class of 2030 guards who we watched during our visit to the Gateway Challenge on Saturday in Chesterfield. These young players play for three different [program_tooltip program_id='712597' first='Knights' last='Basketball Academy'] teams.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/IMG_1018.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1848805" /></figure>   Kinsley Matlock (KBA- Fish): A 5'3" point guard who is an excellent floor general with a pass-first mentality. She has very good quickness and she can see the entire court to distribute the ball effectively. She will also hit the open 3-pointer when the ball swings back to her. She is also a very tough on-ball defender who was really getting after opposing ball handlers on the full court press.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/IMG_1017.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1846384" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1318134' first='Reese' last='Haemker'] (KBA-Fish): A 5'8" shooting guard who has good athleticism along with the ability to get a bucket at all three levels. She has a nice 3-point shot with a quick release off the catch. She also does a nice job off the dribble as she can turn the corner and score in the lane on the straight line drive or on a smooth floater. She also dropped some nifty dimes off the dribble to open teammates.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/IMG_1040.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1848974" /></figure>   Micaela Ramos (KBA- Ryan): A 5'8" guard who was very smooth on the attack with her slashing ability into the lane. She has a nice spin move in traffic to get a bucket. It's tight and she stays on balance. She can also hit the open 3-pointer at the head of the key. She was consistently getting into the lane. She is also a good cutter who plays well off the ball   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/IMG_1046.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1848975" /></figure>   Bianca Wel (KBA-Bradley): A 5'6" point guard who did an excellent job on the defensive end in the game I watched. She was causing problems all over the floor. She could provide good on-ball pressure against opposing ball handlers. She was also shooting the passing lanes for steals and transition layups. She was also blocking a lot of shots for a point guard. She has a good combination of physical strength and quickness.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/IMG_1009.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1848977" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1317957' first='Harper' last='Ramlet'] (KBA-Fish): A 5'8" guard who is a very good all-purpose player. She helps her team succeed in many different areas with her versatility and skill level. She operates well around the basket as she gets two feet in the lane and can use shot fakes effectively to score inside. She is strong off the dribble as she was splitting the double team on her way to the basket. She is a good ball handler who also keeps the ball moving. She is also very active on defense at the top of the full court press.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/IMG_1034.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1848980" /></figure>   Amelia Steiner (KBA-Ryan): A tall young lefty shooting guard who has good height and length. She can really handle the ball well and was impressed with how she could either finish on the drive or drop off a nice pass to a teammate if she drew a defender.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/IMG_1011.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1848983" /></figure>   Brynn Gass (KBA-Fish): A 5'4" point guard who has excellent speed, which she uses to impact play at both ends of the court. She was providing constant on-ball pressure on the defensive end. She moves her feet well while also showing her hands while sliding. It was very impressive. She distributes the ball well with penetration and kick outs to open teammates. She was also very good in the open court, where she could showcase her speed.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/IMG_1036.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1848986" /></figure>   Mia Hillen (KBA-Ryan): A talented shooting guard who was very effective when she was attacking on the drive. She was getting low on the dribble to ward off defenders on her way to the basket. She also rebounded the ball well as she gave good second and third efforts around the basket.
