<p>Gesner has been a recurring name, but it just feels like she couldn't be left out of a list like this. She was one of the first name that came to mind when considering the players likely to dominate. The momentum and all the recent success she's been having should carry over into the showcase. She'll be a must-watch. </p>

<p>Santimaw is quite resourceful, adapting to the needs of her team and she can work well with various other skillsets. Her efficiency along with the synergy she brings to Taft just can't be glossed over. This wasn't a hard decision to include her in this conversation. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Davis can be expected to be a menacing 2-way threat just like she is in every game played. Lily seems to take matchups with the top players personally too. Her engaging on-ball defense, influential downhill drives plus improved long-range shot has and will continue to be what propel Lily. Tabor's lead guard will surely be one to watch at the showcase. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Morantus is a special talent that's just so exciting to watch. She has next-level creation and gets to her preferred spots without much resistance. Plus, Alannah is a sneaky defender that makes plays with great timing. The Nobles' star needs to be on every watchlist. </p>

<p>Keefe is such an easy add here. She's a must-watch in just about any game and her influence is hard to replicate. There's a reason she's so highly raved about. Ayla will have a chance to even further solidify herself amongst the top players in NE with a good showing. </p>
