Standout Forwards Who Dueled at the Border

[player_tooltip player_id='527277' first='Cami' last='Waters'] showed the versatility at the shootout. Waters has definitely added muscle and has increased her physical play. She attacks the rim and can finish at the rim or hit you with the running floater. She connected on some three pointers that showcased her range and multi area scoring ability. Her three point efficiency is at its highest and makes a Waters a threat every time she touches the ball. Defensively, she blocked multiple shots and some in spectacular fashion. One play comes to mind. One of the most athletic players in building gets downhill to the rim appearing to have a step pass Waters. By the time the ball is released it is rejected into the “deep Waters”   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/06/DSC00575.jpeg?w=899" alt="" class="wp-image-1264342" style="width:443px;height:auto" /></figure>     [player_tooltip player_id='656074' first='Ar'Nayshia' last='Griffin'] played well at the Wildcat Shootout and was one of ghe most impressive looking prospects in the building. The versatility, the college body, and the skills had college coaches paying attention. Her play on the court had coaches talking on the sideline and it was "all good!" Griffin scored on a layup, followed by a three point shot from the corner and some power rebounds. Griffin's outside shot is really looking good and separates her from a lot of powerf forwards onthe floor. She can stretch the floor, handle the rock, and get down hill. She was definitely one of the top talents in the building.     [player_tooltip player_id='514521' first='Brie' last='McCoy'] was a dominant force on the court and that might be stating in lightly. McCoy brought the physicality and the smoke to Georgia and players from the Peach State were introduced to one of the must physical power forwards on the First Coast. McCoy rebounded well, fought for position, mixed it up with some of Georgia's top forwards, and left a lasting impression on coaches, players, and the tournament. McCoy showed some nice footwork and execution down on the blocks, and some versatility on the outside -stretching the defense with several long three pointer attempts.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/06/DSC00533.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1264412" style="width:454px;height:auto" /></figure>       [player_tooltip player_id='1264106' first='Ja'Nya' last='Bush'] was in the conversation for arguably the MVP of the tournament. Just to be in the conversation tells you the impact this versatile forward left on the tournament. Bush had nice drives to the rim, was a beast on the offensive glass, scored on nice cuts to the basket. She was a consistent scorer-finisher on the offensive side of the ball and was a standout in the transition game. Bush was elite all tournament and help lead her team to one of the best records at the Shootout.         [player_tooltip player_id='1264090' first='Kaniya' last='Dumas'] brought physicality and toughness to the the shootout and her activity on the court was impressive. On offense, she attacks the rim with force and doesn't shy away from contact. Dumas rebounded the ball well and was a strong presence inside, giving her team valuable production in the post and on the boards. Her versatility as a defender was also a positive. She showcased her ability to defend on the perimeter and also hold it down in the paint.     [player_tooltip player_id='1264399' first='Destiny' last='McLemore'] was one of the top athletes in the tournamanet. Her elevation on one of her rebounds left no doubt about her talents. McLemore hit a turn around jumper in the paint with great elevation. The young Sophomore forward has a nice smooth shot and she rebounded well from the small forward spot. McLemore also delivered some sweet passes, complements of her court vision. Defensively, she was just as active played great one on one defense, and preventing drivers from getting to the basket. McLemore was one of the top 10 2028's Ive seen this summer.     Mikayla Oliveira was a solid interior player who made smart cuts and finishes near the basket. She showed a great basketball IQ and has a great sense of timing on backdoor cuts and flashes to the ball. She scored consistently on the fast break and in transition. She is a quiet- energetic player who spoke softly, but made a big impact.
