The is a three-level scorer who can get her offense with the ball in her hands and also moving without the ball. She is very effective on slashing drives in the lane and she can also shoot it from 3-point range. She is excellent in the transition game where she can score on the attack or hit pull up 3-pointers on the break. She has received multiple Division I scholarship offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1873954,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/06/IMG_2794.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1873954" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='884754' first='Addison' last='Henderson'] (Jackson): A 5'8" 2028 guard is who is an excellent all-around player who helps her team succeed in a variety of ways. A real swiss army knife. She can take the ball and facilitate offense with her court vision and terrific passing ability. She is very good when she turns the corner and attacks downhill. She has very good instincts on the defensive end where she plays the passing lanes well. She has also improved her ability to use her opposite hand and also shoot it from 3-point range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1873957,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/06/IMG_2838.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1873957" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='808391' first='Elecea' last='Norman'] (Liberty): A 5'6" 2027 point guard who is one of the fastest players in the state. She has the ball in her hands going at full speed and she's still going faster that players who are running without the ball. She is also a capable perimeter shooter when opposing defenders give her a little room to defend against her drive. She runs the pick and roll well as she can read the defense to make the right decision of whether to pass it or create her own shot. She has already received multiple Division II offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1873958,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/06/IMG_3018.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1873958" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='886563' first='Jordyn' last='Wray'] (Father Tolton): A 5'7" 2028 point guard who has the excellent combination of being a playmaker and scoring threat. She has good speed and strength and she's also very shifty with the ball which keeps defenders off balance. She penetrates well and she can score on pull up jumpers and runners in the lane. We like her change of pace game. She helped Tolton to district championship last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1873638,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/06/IMG_2790.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1873638" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1261083' first='Adelyn' last='Abernathy'] (Jackson): A 6'0" 2029 forward who is a very talented up and coming prospect in the SEMO area. She has the athleticism and the physical strength to be a real factor around the basket. When she gets the ball in her dominant left hand, she is very tough stop when she looks to get downhill. She can get all the way to the basket to finish or she can stop and drop in a nice runner from about six feet with touch. She also rebounds well on the offensive end from the weak side to get putbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
