<p class="text-gray-700">Physical, strong, coordinated, and energetic. It doesn't take a genius to notice that [player_tooltip player_id='1930845' first='Emma' last='Clark'] of Lewis Central has some size and strength to her game-style. Clark will give Lewis Central some presence in the middle of the lane. They have had some size in the past but I think Clark will be their tallest that I've seen. We expect Clark to make an instant impact on both sides of the floor. Offensively, she should be a problem for most of their opponents to have to deal with. Her height alone will do a lot of the work and when you bring up that she is willing to get physical - you start to see that this might be a coaches dream out of the West side of the state throughout the next four years. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Smart, smooth, athletic, and versatile. [player_tooltip player_id='1818969' first='Caylee' last='Dickey'] brings promise to this sport when she takes the court. Dickey, the 5'10 SG/CG, will be seeing some Varsity time this Winter and I would assume it's going to happen right away. This is a prospect that has had good size for her grade level the last couple of years so she could be placed at the SF position some of the time. That's still possible in HS if we are taking about skill-wise but her size lines up more with a 2 or a 3, which should work out perfectly because we have seen her make some things happen from those spots as of recent. She has demonstrated that she has an smooth dribble, she can handle pressure to get to her spots offensively, and she can stick onto multiple positions defensively at the same time. All in all, Cedar Falls continues to be a group that I think everyone should watch out for. They are going to be loaded with college talent the next few years, Dickey included, and they have always had notable coaching. If they play their cards right and those two things line up in sync who knows how far they might go one of these Winter seasons.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Tactical, crafty, relentless, and a play-maker. [player_tooltip player_id='1866906' first='Fiona' last='Faidley'] is going to hold it down out of the DSM area for DSM Christian this season. Faidley is a talented PG, that understands her best ability, how to get others open, and how to light the nets on fire when she is feeling herself on offense. Faidley is going to be the playmaker that you might imagine this season. She isn't going to have many that can step in her way to stop her and that should be something we see early on. With her craftiness within the paint and how she thinks things out, she should be someone we see averaging over 12 PPG and 2-3 APG to kick off her high school career. She is going to be able to use angles to her advantage once she gets downhill and it doesn't take much from there. This is another prospect out of this Class that will be considered for the Top 10 to start off her high school journey. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Poised, deceptive, unselfish, and malleable. [player_tooltip player_id='1657674' first='Stella' last='Whitson'] of Indianola High School will be joining her sister this Winter and together they are going to bring some size to the court. Whitson is only 5'10 right now but her older sister Eden is a Junior at 6'0 at the Center position so if that is any indiction, she is still going to add a few inches over the next few years. Stella brings a calmness to the floor. She never panics when she is pressured, even if it's by multiple opponents. She actually uses that to her advantage and she ends up blowing by a lot of defenders that overplay her away from the basket. It's pretty deceptive overall. She is also extremely selfless. If she has too many people on her, she notices quickly and she is willing to pass to any open teammate. We have seen Stella's dedication to this game the last few years at the middle school levels but now it's time to finally take it up a notch and play in the big leagues.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Quick, agile, instinctive, and a decisive decision maker. Most others from throughout the state don't know about [player_tooltip player_id='1863907' first='Paysen' last='Venner'] out of St. Albert's but she is going to be a big reason they see success this season. Venner is naturally talented. She works hard but you can tell that she is just born with it in her blood. She mainly plays off the basketball on offense but when it's in her possession she does a great job of making the right choices in short amounts of time. Not to mention that she moves fast down the court, usually beating her opponents early on, making her work smarter - compared to harder. We are going to see St. Alberts win some ball games this Winter and Venner's name will be mentioned. It just depends how much at this point.</p>
