Nowicki, Stars Entering Home Stretch

With not much high school action left in front of them, these 5 players are looking to make the most of their time left as they look to catch coaches attention to play at the next level.    Ashley had a strong showing at a recent tournament in Ohio with her Panthers team. She does a great job using simple moves like a jab step to create just enough space for her shot. Ashley is also a good finisher around the rim, moves well without the ball to get open cuts, and can consistently knock down shots from 3-point range.     Aly has a smooth pull-up game in the mid range, getting great elevation and releasing the ball at the top of her jump to make her shot tough to contest. She's a strong finisher who embraces contact around the basket and creates plenty of and-1 opportunities. Aly also has active hands on defense and turns steals into easy offense.     Maeve has really nice footwork around the paint and uses floaters and fadeaways to score over defenders. She handles the ball well against pressure and can bring it up the floor without turning it over. Maeve stays under control around the basket and consistently finds ways to finish.     Maliah uses her strong frame to power through defenders and create space on her way to the basket. She can also step outside and knock down 3-pointers, making her a tough matchup. On the defensive end, Maliah protects the rim well by staying vertical and contesting shots without fouling.     Bella impressed at a recent tournament in Ohio with MCW Starz. She has a shifty handle and changes speeds well to keep defenders off balance. Around the basket, Bella uses excellent footwork, including step-through moves, to finish, and she's also comfortable backing defenders down in the paint.
