Prep Girls Hoops Missouri takes a look at a group of guards and wings from the SWMO area who are hidden gems and are expected to be impact players this upcoming season.   [player_tooltip player_id='1308680' first='Kinley' last='Cryer'] (Hartville): A 5'7 2027 guard who I got a look at in July at the Run 4 Roses and was very impressed. The young lefty is a three-level scorer with deep shooting range and a quick release. She creates off the dribble very well. She also distributes the ball with her good court vision. She plays off the ball well and is a good cutter. She averaged 16 points, three rebounds and three assists a game as a sophomore.   Kinley Luna (Dora): A talented 2027 guard who has already scored 1,000 points in her career. She is a tremendous shooter from 3-point range. She can shoot it off the catch and she can also create with a variety of escape moves off the dribble. She's quick, but she is under control and she knows where she's going. She is also an outstanding runner in track and cross country.   Sadie Schober (Mountain Grove): A 5'6 2027 point guard who does a good job of distributing the ball and organizing her team. The ball does not stick as she zips her passes well. The young lefty also penetrates in the lane well for some tough finishes. She does a good job defensively with her ball pressure and ability to get deflections.   Harmony Loftis (Wheaton): A 5'8 2027 guard who is a talented offensive player with three-level scoring ability. She can touch the paint with her handles to score on layups and runners in the lane. She scores with either hand in the paint. She also has shooting range that extends well beyond the 3-point line.   [player_tooltip player_id='1245280' first='Drew' last='Miller'] (Greenfield): A 5'8 2028 guard who had a very productive freshman year, averaging 11 points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals. She is a good ball handler who attacks the paint well and she can also hit a high-arching shot from 3-point range.   Kenzie Garrison (Blue Eye): A 2028 point guard who does an effective job as a playmaker and scoring threat. She pushes the pace well to try to get an early advantage and she also puts her teammates in the right place. She can maneuver through traffic and can hit an open 3-pointer. She's a good defender who moves her feet well and fights over screens.
