When Maliyah goes it seems the Lady Raptors follow suit. She has a great feel for the game from out top with her decision-making skills and setting up her teammates along the way. Maliyah was able to use the old school bounce pass on many occasions here today. She finished with some floaters down the lane at times today. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1243519,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/05/eZy-Watermark_04-05-2025_10-50-19-7930AM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1243519" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='567022' first='<strong>Madison' last='Vereen</strong>'] - North Myrtle Beach HS - [program_tooltip program_id='883205' first='South' last='Carolina Future'] UA Rise 16U </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vereen for certain plays her best basketball going to the basket and finishing at the rim. Madison is very effective each game out to get to the foul line a good bit. She plays extremely active in the passing lanes while picking up steals all day long it seems. Madison has good length to be disruptive on the defensive end. She can play all over the floor at times for the [program_tooltip program_id='883205' first='South' last='Carolina Future']. Madison scored 16 points in a win over Wilmington Excel 15U in a game Prep Girls Hoops took in. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1243520,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/05/eZy-Watermark_04-05-2025_10-50-06-7200AM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1243520" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='668305' first='Jurnee' last='Blye']</strong> - Carvers Bay HS - [program_tooltip program_id='883205' first='South' last='Carolina Future'] UA Rise 16U </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jurnee is a post player who does her best work inside the paint area collecting putbacks and effort points. She will look to crash the boards on both ends of the court. Jurnee finished with 10 points and 8 rebounds according to our unofficial stats. She has a great nose to the ball and constantly plays around it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Class of 2026</em></strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='688645' first='Ella' last='Hunter']</strong> - Oceanside Collegiate - [program_tooltip program_id='713840' first='Charleston' last='Raptors'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hunter is certainly not the biggest player on the floor with her play. Ella did come away with some timely 3-pointers made here today for the [program_tooltip program_id='713840' first='Charleston' last='Raptors']. She really likes to work her game from corner to corner while on the floor. Ella does a nice job of getting her shot off with a good quick high arching release. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1243513,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/05/eZy-Watermark_04-05-2025_10-52-37-2770AM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1243513" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='257992' first='Teonna' last='Draughn']</strong> - A.C. Flora HS - [program_tooltip program_id='883205' first='South' last='Carolina Future'] UA Rise 17U </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Draughn plays the game with some shiftiness on the way to the bucket. Teonna can finish at the bucket from both sides of the rims. She was able today to use some ball-screens on the way to the bucket. Draughn plays the game emotionally at times shows to be a 3-level scorer on the floor for the Green and White. Teonna scored 19 points here today in game vs [program_tooltip program_id='988463' first='Mosch' last='Ball']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1243514,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/05/eZy-Watermark_04-05-2025_10-52-20-0290AM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1243514" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='562109' first='Naomi' last='House']</strong> - McBee HS - [program_tooltip program_id='883205' first='South' last='Carolina Future'] UA Rise 17U </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>House is running on the Grassroots Circuit this spring really for the first time outside the Pee Dee area. Prep Girls Hoops saw the [program_tooltip program_id='883205' first='South' last='Carolina Future'] back at the Ashton Arnold Memorial Opening Day event in Easley, but House was not in attendance that weekend. Naomi a post player was able to be a mover-screener on the floor at times. She was most effective inside the paint playing 2-4 feet away at times. Naomi was able to collect putbacks off the glass for buckets here today. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
