If defenders tried to push up with some pressure on her, she would just get downhill on the drive to get a layup. She has the size and skill level to get where she wants to go on the dribble. She is also very good in the Tigers' full court pressure defense with her length and athleticism. She can get plenty of deflections and steals. She has been one of the Tigers' mainstays since entering the program as a freshman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1866574,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/06/IMG_2050_c0e9bf.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1866574" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Karlee Bellamy (Slater): A 5'7" point guard who is in charge of the ball handling and playmaking for a team that has plenty of size on the front line. She has good speed and she can play with a lot of pace. She was getting into the lane on dribble penetration and creating a lot of opportunities for her teammates. She has a good feel for when to speed it up or slow the pace down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1866578,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/06/IMG_2066.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1866578" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Addy Applegate (Knob Noster): A 5'8" guard who is a solid all-around player who fills many roles for her team. The young lefty rebounded the ball well and was also a secondary ball handler. She also hit some key 3-pointers when she was left open. In a close game against Van Far, she hit a pair of free throws to seal the game in the closing seconds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1866582,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/06/IMG_2087.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1866582" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ava Orr (Maysville): A solid young small forward who did a good job of rebounding for her height. I was very impressed with how she looked to block somebody out every time a shot would go up. She was also very good as a secondary ball handler.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image --> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img alt="" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Avery Bray (Maysville): A 5'9" forward who came off the bench to provide some good height and activity on the inside. She was out there mainly to rebound, set solid screens and play with a lot of activity in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
