She is at her best, slashing through the defense and getting to the cup, where she used her length to finish. She showed her scoring versatility by taking smaller defenders to the low block, pulling bigger, slower defenders out on the perimeter, and operating in space. She functions as a triple-threat player who contributes as a shooter, passer, and driver.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1325693,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/10/PGH-Kennedy-Deal-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1325693" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219786' first='Kennedy' last='Deal']</strong> (5'10/G|F/'28/Miami Country Day) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kennedy is a two-way impacting player who was aggressive on both ends of the floor. She lived in the paint and did a good job making decisions in the heart of the defense. She is a heady playmaker with creative ability off the bounce. When played for the drive, she showed her ability to knock down the trey ball. She is an on-ball defender who aggressively challenges at the point of attack, making ball-handlers work to be productive.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1325695,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/10/PGH-Arianna-Murray-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1325695" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1214289' first='Arianna' last='Murray']</strong> (5'11/G|F/'28/ZephyrHills) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Arianna had a really good outing, showing a very mature floor game. She has a really good feel for the game and showed her willingness to do whatever it took for her team to be successful. She does a good job getting paint touches and either scoring or finding teammates. She moved well without the ball, did not mind setting screens, and was active on the glass. She played hard on both ends of the floor and showed her ability to move well defensively, using her length to defend. Her perimeter shooting is an area to continue working on as she puts in work in the lab.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1325697,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/10/PGH-Naya-Hardisson-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1325697" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='248643' first='Naya' last='Hardisson']</strong> (5'7/PG/‘27/Keys Gate Academy) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Naya is a lead guard who thrives in transition, attacks downhill with purpose, and scores from all three levels. Her complete floor game made her a standout. Her play kept my eyes locked on her, and she showed a skill set that was at times unmatched, making her tough to contain off the bounce. She is a paint-attacking guard, using her handle and strength to break down defenses. Her finishing tools were lethal, and she consistently made good decisions in traffic. She showed to be a reliable floor general who can be trusted with the keys to a team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1325698,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/10/PGH-Ezariyah-Clark-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1325698" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>E'zariyah Clark</strong> (5'9/Power Forward/2030/Idea hope) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Zari_da_ball_player</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">E'zariyah is a smooth prospect with a versatile scoring arsenal. She has a game that is beyond her age and made a significant impact with her offensive repertoire. She does a good job balancing scoring and creating for her teammates. She was a force to deal with, especially in isolation situations where defenders struggled to keep her out of the paint. Her basketball IQ is impressive for her grade, and she is a gifted scorer and playmaker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1325699,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/10/PGH-Devyn-Hudson-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1325699" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Devyn Hudson</strong> (5'10/G/'31/Homewood Middle) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Devyn is a young prospect who showed her ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. She did a really good job anticipating on the defensive end of the floor and creating turnovers that led to offense. She was also vocal, which impressed me as she is a young player. Offensively, she is tough to deal with off the bounce as she has a quick first step and gets downhill. She is still young, so there are some inconsistencies in her game, such as her shot selection, which will get better in time as she stays in the lab and studies film. She is a prospect to definitely keep an eye on.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1325700,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/10/PGH-Jacy-Hammond-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1325700" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jacy Hammond</strong> (5'11/Wing/‘30/Fort Smith Northside) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jacy is a wing with scoring versatility, as she was productive both inside and out. She is young, has size, and showed her ability to put the rock on the floor and make plays off the bounce. She stayed, getting paint touches, collapsing the defense, finishing in traffic, and creating for teammates. I also like that she did a good job challenging shots in the paint. Jacy is a talented player, and as she continues to develop her perimeter shooting, her stock will rise, making her offensive potency a problem for future opponents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
