[player_tooltip player_id="199972" first="Desidy" last="Schwanke"] - Benson County - (5’9/PG/2022) - Schwanke is a pass-first type of point guard. She has great size and athleticism using her length to be a menace on the defensive end. Schwanke contributes most of her points through fast-break turnovers and easy layup opportunities. [player_tooltip player_id="100449" first="Hailey" last="Quam"] - Wilton-Wing - (5’10/SF/2023) - Quam was without a doubt one of the best scorers at the camp. She showed great versatility in displaying a fast first step in getting to the rim and the ability to finish strong from the left and right blocks. Quam was disruptive in showing the ability to hit beyond the arc which made teams struggle to slow her down. [player_tooltip player_id="211420" first="Gracie" last="Doe"] - Killdeer - (5’5/PG/2023) - Doe was a spark of energy on the court. She displayed the ability to hit shots from anywhere on the court. She has really good court awareness and the ability to blow by defenders with a lightning-quick first step. Her favorite move around the rim is a floater and she’s perfected it when driving against post players who step in help side. [player_tooltip player_id="211404" first="Mykell" last="Heidlebaugh"] - Rugby - (5’9/SF/2023) - Heidlebaugh is an athletic forward that can handle the rock and finish strong around the rim through traffic. She cuts extremely hard to the hoop and has great strength in using her lower body to establish positioning in the paint area. If Heidlebaugh continues to work on her 15-17 ft jump shot and starts making shots consistently from that area she can be a real threat for whoever runs into the Panthers. [player_tooltip player_id="245128" first="Olivia" last="Passa"] - Velva - (5’8/SG/2023) - Passa proved to be one of the best defenders at the U-Mary camp. She was solid on ball defender as well as distributed the passing lanes when sitting in gap side help. Passa showed great court awareness and the ability to finish at the rim even when flying at 60 mph. Look for Passa to have a solid Junior year this year as she’s slowly starting to hit consistent shots from mid-range.
