Prep Girls Hoops Missouri spent Wednesday evening at MICDS to watch a four-team shootout, featuring Lafayette, Kirkwood, Visitation and host MICDS. There were some good incoming Class of 2030 prospects on display. Here is a look at these talented freshmen.     [player_tooltip player_id='1317957' first='Harper' last='Ramlet'] (Lafayette): A 5'8" guard who was one of the best players in the building as she helped lead the Lancers to a 3-0 record on the day. She is a high energy player who was also scoring at all three levels. Her handles were excellent as she was creating off the dribble and hitting step back jumpers from 3-point range. She was also moving well off the ball and scoring off her cutting ability. She also had good court awareness and anticipation on the defensive end.     Skyler Thomas (MICDS): A talented young point guard who made her presence known immediately when she entered the game with a steal and layup on the first possession. She impacts play with her speed and quickness at both ends of the floor. She breaks down defenders well with her dribble penetration and she gets to her spots well to knock down mid-range jump shots.     McKinley Thomas-Anderson (MICDS): Another talented young point guard who will bring a lot of speed and quickness to the Rams' program. She is a ball hawk on the defensive end as she can pick pockets in the open court or dig down a strip the ball away from an opposing post player. She has nice handles and a smooth crossover to work her way through traffic in the lane. She also had some fearless drives inside amongst the taller defenders.     Divya Divakaran (Lafayette): A talented lefty point guard who is very quick and who really excelled in the open court with her speed. She was touching the paint quite often on dribble penetration and she had a soft touch on her runner, whether she got into the lane or along the baseline. She was also knocking down open 3-pointers off the catch.     Raeya Abelahrari (Kirkwood): A 5'6" guard who displayed a nice shooting stroke from 3-point range. She was moving to the open spots to hit catch and shoot perimeter jumpers and she also could create off the dribble to hit a 3-pointer off the step-back.     Nia Brooks (Kirkwood): A 5'7" point guard who is a good offensive player with good quickness. She created well off the dribble and she could shoot it from the perimeter. She also used her speed well in the open court and she used her body well to draw contact from bigger defenders in the lane.     Raquel Smith (Kirkwood): A 5'7" combo guard who plays aggressive at both ends of the court. She did a nice job when she attacked downhill on the dribble. She is also a solid defensive player who sits down and moves her feet well. She stays active on defense as shown when she ran through a double-screen to stay connected to the shooter.
