Alyssa Beckett: 5’11, 2021, Monroe- This future Ohio Northern University soccer player can also tear it up on the basketball court! She has fantastic footwork, and she does the little things that turn into momentum changers for the team. She’s willing to take the charge, and she hustles so well on defense. Really like her drop step moves to the basket. [player_tooltip player_id="211755" first="Abbigail" last="Peterson"]: PG, 5’6, 2021, Catholic Central- Peterson has got game, and will do great at the University of Arkansas Monticello! She has very nice handles, can change directions quickly and throw her opponent off guard with steals. Her outside shots are beautiful- she doesn’t second guess herself. Abbigail plays with confidence and a strong basketball IQ. [player_tooltip player_id="92522" first="Mallory" last="Mullen"]: 5’11, 2022, Catholic Central- College coaches, if you are looking for someone with tremendous spring in her jump, can rebound with strength, and make strong moves to the basket, on top of being very athletic and versatile, she’s your girl! Her length, quick feet, and ability to defend well makes her hard to guard and stop. I"m really impressed with her game! (Featured Photo) [player_tooltip player_id="91072" first="Kendall" last="Folley"]: 5’7, 2021, Lebanon- Folley had a strong game against Catholic Central, and can hurt opposing teams in so many ways, with 3’s, pretty spin moves to the basket, and knows how to get to the charity stripe. Strong handles, fast in transition with the ball, and takes it hard to the bucket, not afraid of getting fouled. Defensively gets after it, using her quickness to generate turnovers. Kendall will have a great career with Oakland University! Keira Rodgers: 5’5, 2023, Lebanon- Rodgers was a firecracker on the court! This young guard can shoot the rock! Definitely proved to be a 3 point specialist, can shoot it anywhere, and deep! She has high energy, which is evident on both ends of the court, confident in dribbling the ball, and makes smart decisions. Nice crossover moves, can take it to the bucket strong. Remember her name! Caitlyn Stone: 5’7, 2022, Lebanon- Stone has excellent court vision and feel for the game, and it is apparent in the way she follows her shots, and looks for cutters. Nice defender, who plays strong deny defense. Opponents need to know where she is, because she has a solid outside shot, quick release, and hits the three point shot with accuracy.
