<p class="text-gray-700">Tate is "long and athletic" which is the base, and watching her on the court progression has been a treat because she gave me a variety of intangibles like finishing strongly off the dribble after contact and doing the same, finishing strongly, inside the paint, both after contact. She also rebounded and did a good job defending both inside and outside the paint </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Marthol falls into that #sizedontmatter group, but it doesn't matter because she's fearless and played solid defense both in the set and baseline to baseline "on the ball". She's also a "long and athletic" guard who showed good timing to block shots, and her court vision was solid as she made good decisions </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ramos attacked the basket strongly to score or dish, and her deceptive first step played a part in that. She also showed she could create her shot and drop the jumper while being defended; her "catch and shoot" looked good as well. She hit the boards on both ends, did a job defending, and played the passing lane </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Mayes is an athletic guard who brings heat on both ends of the court, and I knew that from catching earlier. I also knew she could "catch and shoot" as well as drop the long ball<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/04/space-city-slam-17u-shooters-and-scorers-pt-1/"> see evaluation here,</a></em></strong> but her court vision in transition has shot up as she threaded the needle from 20 feet away, and she gave me some acrobatic finishes </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Salazar also falls into that #sizedontmatter group I love to hashtag, and one of the things that she does, which grabbed me, was her wanting the ball in pressure situations. She scored off the dribble, she saw the floor under pressure, and with a hand in her face, she knocked down the long ball, back-to-back down the stretch </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Holmes has been one of the best shooters in Texas since I first saw her play in middle school, yet watching her come back from an injury and "come back with a bang" was nice for me to see. She's heady and patiently sets the defender up to attack and score or create her shot and drop it after creating spacing. Her "catch and shoot" looked good, so did her court vision, and her defense was solid</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Meadows gets my #THROWBACK hashtag for taking me back to another era as she outrebounded taller players. Yeah, positioning played a part in that, but so did DESIRE, and I love seeing players do things "you can't teach" . She keeps the ball high and understands how to get the outlet going, plus she scored off the dribble</p>
