The class of 2030 is loaded with skilled and athletic players who will look to compete for time as soon as they enter the ranks of high school next year. Many of these young athletes continue to gain experience by understanding the value of hard work and being pushed out of their comfort zones, where true growth occurs. These articles will give a first look at some of the class of 2030 guards to keep an eye out for.     London Beasley – 5'8, Home School, Pleasant Lee Middle, Mokan Girls   Big guard that does it all.  London is long, strong, and athletic with good speed, which are all advantages on both sides of the ball.  She's sound and comfortable with the rock in her hands and gets downhill well to finish from either direction.  She does a great job of leading and gets others involved when at the one, but can hit the switch and put up numbers from all three levels when off the ball. She's a great on-ball defender as well.     Mikah Williams – 5'6, Home School, MO Phenom   A strong two guard with tons of skill and a good feel and understanding of the game.  Mikah scores at all three levels and has a maturity level that allows her to slow the game down and play at her pace.  She gets to the basket with ease but also creates space to be able to get her shot off.       Leela Snyder – 5'6, Lafayette Academy, KC Dream   Shooting guard that is lethal for long range.  She show's tremendous range and accuracy from anywhere on the court.  Leela also has as great handle and is very creative putting together different combinations of moves to create advantages to get downhill to finish with floaters from either side.  She has good vision and does a good job of finding teammates for easy buckets.       Emma Mullins – 5'7, Congress Middle, Mokan Girls   Emma plays the is a combo guard and does a great job of stretching the defense with her shooting ability from the mid and long range. She adds a good handle with creativeness off the bounce, along with good vision and that adds to her game and allows her to play on the ball when needed. Mullins plays hard and leaves it all on the court.     Kenslei Woodard – 5'7, Brittany Hills Middle, Mokan Girls   Tough and hardnose combo guard that plays with tons of energy and intensity.  Woodard is a relentless on ball defender with good speed and athleticism.
