In the game of basketball, you can make an impact in a multitude of ways. Here are some of our best difference-makers during Day 1 at our Northeast Region Finals.    [player_tooltip player_id='1857007' first='Madisyn' last='Brown'] plays with a certain tenacity on both ends of the ball. As the lead guard, she plays with confidence. Brown is a shifty ball handler and uses her quickness to her advantage. She's always looking to push the pace to generate quality looks for her teammates. On the defensive end, despite being on the smaller side, she competes at a high level. Doing an amazing job of getting under opposing ball handlers' skin. Madisyn showed a nice blend of skill and motor; that's something you definitely want to see out of your floor general.     Clara was one of the best shooters we saw during Day 1 of the tournament. She has an absolute beauty of a jump shot with consistent mechanics, a high arc, and a high release point, making it difficult for defenders to contest. Mueller is primarily an off-ball threat when she's on the floor. She moves into the right spots off of pure instinct. Her efficiency was on full display, especially in their matchup vs Dreamers Elite 15U. Mueller is not afraid to let shots fly if there's any space between her and her defender.     [player_tooltip player_id='1579626' first='Audrey' last='Appiah'] is a player that stands out before the game even tips off. At 6'3", she poses a matchup problem for most of her opponents on the floor. Appiah absolutely dominated the glass using not only her size but her strength to gain positioning. Not a surprise that she can protect the rim at an elite level as well. She makes players think twice before taking a shot in the paint. Appiah also provides some offensive value on the floor with her ability to get second-chance points. She has a soft touch around the rim and can finish through contact.     Aaliyah Martin has the skill set and physical tools to develop into an intriguing player at the next level. She has a polished offensive game at the wing position. Her handle is slick, and she has the speed to get to her spots. This combo of traits is what plays a part in her ability to get downhill. Defensively, Martin has the potential to be truly impactful. She can get in the passing lanes and has the agility to keep up with multiple positions on the court. The class of 2029 combo guard is someone that will be interesting to see grow and develop as the years go on.     London is an incredibly versatile wing that adds serious size to Team Museum's frontcourt. She brings tremendous impact on the defensive end of the floor as a help-side rim protector. Horne can also step out and slide her feet on the perimeter. Offensively, she showed that she is more than capable of taking and making jumpers from mid-range. Horne is also a threat around the basket due to her good hands and physically imposing traits at the forward position. [player_tooltip player_id='1591982' first='London' last='Horne'] brings two-way impact to the table that is eye-popping up close.
