<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops Missouri takes a look at a group of Class of 2030 shooting guards and wings who caught our eye at the Run 4 Roses Classic in Louisville, Kentucky.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1881804,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3353.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1881804" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gabby Bowman (SEMO Bulls): A 5'8" guard from East Carter who was one of the most physical young backcourt players that we watched at the event. When she gets the ball, she is in attack mode and she gets downhill and she loves to draw contact. It's either a bucket or a trip to the free throw line. She can operate the pick and roll as the ball handler or the screener who can score on the short roll. She gets results because she plays with a strong motor at both ends of the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1879985,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3360.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1879985" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mimi Briggs (KC Dream-Jackson): A 5'9" guard from Park Hill South who is a very talented offensive player. She uses her physical strength and quick first step to make life difficult on opposing defenders. She is a three-level scorer who was powering her way into the lane for buckets while also being able to pull up to hit mid-range jumpers. She is also an unselfish player who was dropping off nice passes to open teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1880215,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3627.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1880215" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keira Melandy ([program_tooltip program_id='948123' first='TC' last='Hoops']): A 5'8" guard from Woodland who is one of the more talented young players in the SEMO area. She is a three-level scoring threat who operates well in the flow off the offense. She can score off good cutting off the ball and she can also shoot it from 3-point range. She has good athleticism along with positional height, which enables her to also make things happen in the lane as a a driver or an offensive rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1881923,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3752.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1881923" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1881504' first='Savannah' last='Long'] ([program_tooltip program_id='712694' first='Missouri' last='Phenom'] 15U-Stovall): A 5'7" guard from Cardinal Ritter who plays up at the 15U level on a team that won a bracket championship last weekend. She is a high-energy player who can shoot it well from 3-point range. She is not afraid to get into the middle of the action to get a rebound or a loose ball in traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1881926,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3351.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1881926" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1827038' first='Reese' last='Mattingly'] (SEMO Bulls): A 5'8" guard from Puxico who was one of her team's primary ball handlers. She is very shifty with the ball in her hands as she kept defenders guessing with her ability to change speeds and directions. She has the spin moves and crossover moves to escape defenders and get herself into the paint to collapse the defense. She also sees the court well and distributes the ball effectively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1881930,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3499_a0433a.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1881930" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1880659' first='Bralynn' last='Porter'] ([program_tooltip program_id='712694' first='Missouri' last='Phenom']-Fick): A 5'8" guard from California who has good positional height along with a nice perimeter shot from 3-point range. She was knocking down shots consistently against zone defenses. She also attacked the close outs well to score on one and two-dribble pull up jumpers. She is also an unselfish player who was willing to make the extra pass to an open teammate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1881932,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3524.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1881932" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1881522' first='Georgia' last='Gipson'] ([program_tooltip program_id='712694' first='Missouri' last='Phenom']-KAT): A 5'5" guard from Cairo who is part of a very talented incoming freshman Class 1 state power. We like how she is able to play at her own speed while not getting sped up in an old-school fashion. She handles the ball well and can create space and get to her own spots. She has a nice mid-range jumper off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1881931,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3501.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1881931" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jessica Jackson ([program_tooltip program_id='712694' first='Missouri' last='Phenom']-Fick): A 5'6" guard from Columbia who was shooting it well from 3-point range. The young southpaw has good quickness and she can also knock down mid-range jumpers off the pull up. She plays the game with good pace as she likes to get out in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1881927,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3357.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1881927" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1827428' first='Blair' last='Clifton'] (SEMO Bulls): A young guard from South Iron who has a good feel for the game with her good overall court presence. She is a good secondary ball handler who keeps the ball moving and the offense flowing. The ball does not stick in her hands. She is also a good cutter who is always moving and who sprints to the open spots. She is also an active defender who was routinely in the right spots as she made good rotations, which led to deflections and steals and the occasional block.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
