Under The Radar Players With Bright Futures

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Not everyone makes the all-state lists or gets high recognition for their performances through the high school season. Below we list some of the girls who aren’t being talked about as much as they could be in the future.</span> &nbsp; <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="153378" first="Olivia" last="Mayer"] - 2022 - 5’8 Guard - Martinsburg</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">The sports coverage in the eastern panhandle in the state of West Virginia has always not been as big as other parts of the state. Many athletes are underestimated for their talent until they come closer to Charleston to show it. With [player_tooltip player_id="153378" first="Olivia" last="Mayer"] she has shown strides to be a solid all-around player. Mayer’s obvious strength is her sharpshooting from behind the arc with her high arcing shot. Mayer, primarily a shooting guard, has some length to use on defense. With team leader [player_tooltip player_id="153333" first="Prosperity" last="Stitt"] graduating it will be interesting how Mayer adjusts into the leader role and if the Bulldogs will make it back to Charleston next high school season.</span> &nbsp; <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="153381" first="Kierra" last="Richmond"] - 2022 - 5’8 Guard - Shady Spring</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Another quiet name with not a strong surrounding deep team. [player_tooltip player_id="153381" first="Kierra" last="Richmond"] has led Shady Spring since sophomore year. Richmond always has the grit to get to the basket. If she can’t get all the way she will not shy away from her floater, one of her more reliable shots. Richmond will shoot from anywhere and can create space on the pull-up game. She continues to perform well on the AAU circuit with the Ohio Valley Dragons.</span> &nbsp; <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="153391" first="KK" last="Potter"] - 2022 - 6’0 Forward - Cabell Midland</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">A great role player in arguably the deepest high school team in the state. Kaedlee "KK" Potter is a great versatile option for any team. Potter at 6’0 is as comfortable outside as inside. Mainly put inside setting screens and getting open looks. Potter is perfect as the screener on the pick &amp; roll or pick &amp; pop. She shoots consistently from 15 feet out and also will knock down a good bit from behind the arc. The biggest key on her shot is her feet as she gets perfectly square with the basket. Defensively Potter is more of an inside defender as she is known for setting a lot of charges and getting boards. Potter has the advantage on bigs when getting down the floor with her speed. </span> &nbsp; <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="153402" first="Jasmine" last="Tabor"] - 2022 - 5’7 Guard - Wayne</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Wayne Junior [player_tooltip player_id="153402" first="Jasmine" last="Tabor"] was a great mold for the Wayne Pioneers this past season. With Wallace mainly handling the ball it was Tabor’s job to find the gaps in the defense. When teams were in zone Tabor would be finding the space usually in the middle. Catching it, turning, then pulling up, kicking out, or attacking the basket. Tabor’s jumpers from mid-ranger were shot at very high percentages. Tabor would also stop out behind the arc and knock down some. She uses her body aggressively moving defenders as she heads to the rim. Wayne loses a great senior group so seeing how Tabor helps Wayne next season will be something to keep an eye on. As for now, Tabor is playing AAU for the Tri-State Hurricanes.</span> &nbsp; <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="153383" first="Olivia" last="Ziolkowski"] - 2022 - 6’0 Forward - Woodrow Wilson</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">More of a true post player comes from Woodrow Wilson’s [player_tooltip player_id="153383" first="Olivia" last="Ziolkowski"]. Once again a very versatile big. Defensively Ziolkowski has great length making her a great shot blocker. Ziolkowski is aggressive on the glass on both ends, boxing out and pulling down rebounds. With Ziolkowski being more a quick forward, she is used at the top of presses sometimes making it hard for the inbounder. Offensively Ziolkowski can shoot it from anywhere. Stronger inside of course with post moves but she can also put the ball on the ground and get by defenders. She has an unexpected pull-up game and can hit the three-ball. She is playing with the West Virginia Thunder Gold team this summer.</span> &nbsp; <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="153421" first="Sydney" last="Baird"] - 2023 - 5’6 Guard - Webster County</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Starting to make some noise is Webster County guard [player_tooltip player_id="153421" first="Sydney" last="Baird"]. Baird is coming off a great season averaging 30.9 points per game on over 60% shooting. Baird does it all offensively. Handling the ball she has a strong mid-range pull-up. Attacks the basket finishing at the rim or with a floater. Also, very comfortable shooting the three-ball and knocking it down.</span> &nbsp; <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="153418" first="Mya" last="Toombs"] - 2023 - 5’4 Guard - Capital</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Capital sophomore [player_tooltip player_id="153418" first="Mya" last="Toombs"] brings aggressiveness to the court. Toombs great defensively pressuring defenders like no other. Toombs speeds up guards and forces them to make mistakes. Offensively Toombs has a knack for getting to the basket. She will finish through contact. Toombs also will step behind the arc and hit shots.</span> &nbsp; <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="153416" first="Sidney" last="Harris"] - 2023 - 5’5 Guard - South Charleston</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Talking about knockdown shooters [player_tooltip player_id="153416" first="Sidney" last="Harris"] of South Charleston strokes it from behind the arc. A heavy catch and shoot target, she is the one you give the green light from behind the arc. Only being 5’5 Harris has some length with her wingspan being able to extend the defense.</span> &nbsp; <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="153427" first="Rebekah" last="Rupert"] - 2023 - 6’1 Center - Ritchie County</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">If you want an inside presence then [player_tooltip player_id="153427" first="Rebekah" last="Rupert"] of Ritchie County is a great option. Standing at 6’1 Rupert stays inside to show her post-game and get rebounds. Rupert makes offenses shoot away from her because she is a good shot blocker.</span> &nbsp; <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="153422" first="Maggie" last="Odour"] - 2023 - 5’7 Guard - Hurricane</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hurricane guard and leader [player_tooltip player_id="153422" first="Maggie" last="Odour"] have had two solid high school seasons so far. Leading the Redskins in scoring both seasons. Odour has a strong pull-up game, getting space to hit those shots, and also likes to attack the rim. Odour is no stranger to shooting the three-pointer either</span>
