She used her quickness and handles to create her own shot and drop off defenders. When she got into the lane, she had some tremendous finishes where she hung in the air and displayed some excellent body control. She can also score it from all three levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1267894,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4222.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1267894" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='913073' first='Saniah' last='Jones'] ([program_tooltip program_id='712484' first='Della' last='Lamb'] 15U): The 5'11 2028 forward from Lee's Summit West had a dominating performance in a victory over Mac Irvin Fire. She used her strength to overpower defenders and her footwork to outmaneuver them. Her drop step was tough and she could also drive it from the high post. She also displayed some elite passing skills as she hit open cutters with some pinpoint dimes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1267900,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4018.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1267900" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1113094' first='Rozlyn' last='McDevitt'] ([program_tooltip program_id='715428' first='Real' last='Dream Chasers'] 15U): The 5'5 2028 point guard from St Joe Lafayette really impressed with how she grasps how the position is supposed to be played. She definitely stirs the drink for her team with her deft passing and playmaking skills. She kept everyone involved in the offense. She handled pressure well and she can get a bucket on a floater or a 3-pointer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>********<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1267902,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4193.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1267902" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='849019' first='Lily' last='Carr'] ([program_tooltip program_id='713416' first='Missouri' last='Select'] 16U): The 2027 point guard from Spokane plays up at the 17U level and she excels in a big way. She is one of the many talented guards on this team. She's quick and she can score at all three levels with her handles and smooth escape moves off the dribble. She also gets after it on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>********<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1267903,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4231.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1267903" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='351753' first='Ava' last='Vanecek'] (Phee Elite 17U-Humiston): The 5'9 2026 guard from Webster Groves was one of the top perimeter shooters that I watched during the day. She's quick has a feathery touch from long distance and a quicker than quick release. She can also hit the no dip 3-pointer. She has continued to work hard on her overall offensive game to take advantage of defenders who try to take away her 3-ball. She puts the ball on the floor with confidence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*********</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1267906,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4113.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1267906" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gentry Davault (MO Tribe 17U): The 6'1 2026 forward from Norwood has an impressive skill set. One skill that stands out is her passing. She catches the ball out high and her head is on a swivel looking for open cutters. She has good fundamentals in the low post, which includes a nice jump hook over the left shoulder. She can also hit the short jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>********</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1267909,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4171.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1267909" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='493484' first='Tayte' last='Higgins'] (MO Phenom Columbia 17U/Baggett): One a COMO-based team that has a lot of good players, this 5'11 2026 forward from Rock Bridge does a little bit of everything. I like those good all purpose players. She can get a bucket inside or hit the 3-pointer. She's an effort player when it comes to rebounding and getting loose balls. She just makes the team better because of her versatility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
