Here’s a look at some of them: &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="214583" first="<strong>Hannah</strong>" last="<strong>Robbins</strong>"] is a six-foot senior guard and small forward for both PHH Prep in Phoenix and her club team, Arizona Select. She played her first two years of high school at Desert Vista. As a freshman, she averaged 12.7 points per game and, as a sophomore, she averaged 16.5 per game. While at Desert Vista, she was awarded Player of the Game honors a total of 15 times by Max Preps. Hannah then transferred to Arizona Elite Prep for her junior year where she averaged 16.0 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks per game. Hannah was ranked #22 in the listing of the Arizona Republic’s 50 elite basketball players for 2020-2021. She had a season-high 30 points earlier this year in an 83-25 win over Scottsdale Bella Vista Prep. One scout summed up her game this way, " She has length for rebounding, plays tough defense, has deft ball-handling skills and a smooth outside shooting touch to the heavily recruited Division I colleges that scout PHH Prep." The daughter of former University of New Mexico standout Rob Rollins, Hannah recently committed to play for the Lady Lobos. She sums up her profile this way. "I am a six-foot guard who can score from all positions, rebound, play defense, and get my teammates involved. During my high school career and on every team I played on, I have led in scoring, rebounding, and blocked shots." She is ready for an outstanding senior season and a career playing in the Mountain West Conference. &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="73478" first="<strong>Mackenzie</strong>" last="<strong>Shivers</strong>"] is a five-foot-six senior guard who plays for Mesa High School.

A three-year starter, she has played in 70 games, averaging 16.2 points. She is already over 1,200 points in her career. "She can do it all on the offensive end," said Coach Fonseca. "She is a driver slasher who can hit the three-point shot consistently while also getting to the rim. She has worked a lot this year on her mid-range game." She ranks among the top five guards in the state for her class (2022). Mackenzie has been selected as Player of the Game on two different occasions by Max Preps. Her profile includes her philosophy."I am a relentless defender who loves to guard the best player on opposing teams. I have a motor that keeps going and I do not quit. My quick first step on the offensive end allows me to get downhill and finish at the rim or dish it out to my teammates. I am a vocal leader both on and off the court. I led my high school team from an 0-10 region record as a freshman to an 8-2 record and into the elite eight as a junior. In my senior year, I am looking to lead my team and win a state championship." To date, Mackenzie has offers from the University of the Southwest and Scottsdale Community College. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img class="size-full wp-image-213149" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/Mackenzie-Shivers-1-scaled-e1603071336870.jpg" alt="" width="1683" height="2489" /> &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="137279" first="<strong>LeeLee</strong>" last="<strong>Willis</strong>"] is a five-foot-six combo guard who now plays for Compass Prep.

In December. 2019, she was awarded Player of the Game honors by Max Preps in a game against St. Mary’s. One scout commented on her game after a grassroots tournament. "She is one of the best defenders on the West Coast. She also showed her offensive skills with the three-point shot, pull-up jumper, and finishing around the rim." Another scout had this to say about LeeLee’s game. "She is a pit bull on defense, with great speed and acceleration to continually turn ball-handlers. She never eases off the pressure and doesn’t shy away from contact at either end of the court." Arizona Select, her AAU team, recently beat Arizona Elite in the Grand Invitational Championship. LeeLee is beginning to receive college offers - she has been offered scholarships to Lipscomb College, Loyola, and Western Colorado.
