Ellis is prime-time shooter who can shoot the three off the catch and also off of the dribble. She was clutch in the semifinals and without her semifinal heroics, her team would have made an early exit from the State playoffs.     [player_tooltip player_id='400815' first='Kylie' last='Green'] (cover photo) is a young player who we will see a lot of on the travel circuit. The young guard connected on 42 threes last season and shot close to thirty percent from behind the arc. In addition to shooting the three ball, Green excels in the transition game. She has good speed and uses it on both ends of the court. She will be a player to watch get up and down the floor this travel season, and there will be a plethora of threes going up by the talented Freshman.     [player_tooltip player_id='400816' first='Leila' last='Bryant'] knocked down several threes during the Semifinals at the State championship. In addition to shooting the rock, the young point guard was responsible for running the show. Bryant can get to the rim, make plays for her teammates, and can pull up behind the arc and knock down the three at a fairly consistent rate. The 8th grader - Bryant averaged 18.7 points per game and knocked down over 60 threes for the season.     [player_tooltip player_id='1134047' first='Delanie' last='Doty'] knocked down three threes in the state semifinals and this came while handling the rock at the point guard position. Doty knocked down 61 threes and shot the three ball at a 43 percent rate. The Sophomore is one of the top young guards in the State. She can shoot the three off of the dribble and off the catch.       [player_tooltip player_id='811751' first='Madi' last='Mignery'] went 3 for 4 in the finals and was one of the most versatile players in the state playoffs. Mignery is one of he biggest names out there and she is a dominant force on the offensive end of the floor. Mignery delivered 19 points and 11 rebounds in the state finals. She scored on the inside and outside. Seeing her on the boards was impressive, and to see the forward handle the ball, play on perimeter, and shoot the three was even more impressive.     [player_tooltip player_id='823463' first='Presley' last='Norman'] entered the state playoffs as one of the top three point shooting Sophomores in the State. Norman knocked down 6 threes in the state semifinal and finals combined. Norman is going to be a player to watch this summer. It's safe to say that her three point shooting this past high school season is a premonition of what's to come in the upcoming travel season.     [player_tooltip player_id='1213565' first='Sakura' last='Barnes'] was one of the best three point shooting Freshmen in the building. She set the stage early in the Finals with her shooting. She will be a player to watch this travel season. She handled the ball well and did a good job of moving the ball and getting her shots.     [player_tooltip player_id='514524' first='Ellieyana' last='Wallace'] put on a shooting display in the first half that was mind boggling. Wallace knocked down 4 in a row including a three that ended the half. The young forward-guard kept her team within striking distance. Last travel season, Wallace's twin sister Carleyssia was one of the biggest names in last year's travel season. This travel season, Ellieyana will look to duplicate her sister's effort. She definitely had a twin performance in Lakeland - it looked just like her sister's performance last summer.     [player_tooltip player_id='221593' first='Yinuo' last='Wang'] came out in the championship game shooting the cover off of the ball. The Sophomore guard had at least three threes in the first half of the game and set the stage for one of the best games that was played in Lakeland. Wang has been an X factor for several years in the playoffs and has gained a lot of traction. She won't be catching people off guard this travel season as she is now a well known commodity around the state. Wang can flat out shoot the ball and can handle the ball. She will be a must see this upcoming travel season.
