Batten Team Camp: Day One Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Batten University's Marlins hosted their first annual team camp, welcoming more than 10 local girls' high school teams. Over two days, players sharpened their skills and strengthened their chemistry. Several athletes caught my attention on day one and boosted their stock ahead of the high school season. Here are those players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1574832"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab9322af36c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After leading her team in scoring as a freshman, [player_tooltip player_id='1574832' first='Jamiah' last='Parham'] arrived at camp with strong momentum. Moreover, she looked noticeably stronger and used her athleticism to make a decisive impact late. With her team down two, Parham sparked a comeback and two-point win in the final 10 seconds. She is a strong guard who can attack the rim and defend on the perimeter. As she enters her sophomore season, her continued growth is building a résumé likely to draw college coaches' attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252249"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab9322af3703"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>The recent Mount Olive commit had no trouble finding the basket, scoring from downtown, midrange, and at the rim. As a combo guard, Bourne looks comfortable off the ball, impacting games through scoring and playmaking. Defensively, she embraces physical play, battling inside for rebounds and limiting second chances. She also has quick hands, stripping ball handlers as they attack the basket. Entering her final high school season, Bourne can sharpen her game before bringing full momentum to Mount Olive. Moreover, she has the tools to lead her team deep into the state playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["443359"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab9322af3729"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At Highland Springs, [player_tooltip player_id='443359' first='Jesiah' last='Young'] is a floor leader who showed she can play either guard position. She finished several difficult transition layups and impressed with her endurance while playing back-to-back games. Moreover, her high basketball IQ helps her anticipate teammates' positions and impact games on or off the ball. As her game continues to develop, college coaches should take notice, and offers could follow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With day one setting the tone,with competitive games, and outstanding performances these standouts will be worth watching as the high school season approaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
