PGH Ohio Freshman Showcase- Part 3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='481390' first='Maliyah' last='Lofton']- 5'5, PG, Harvest Preparatory: </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This young lady is a serious problem for opponents! Not only does she apply high pressure on defense, she's a bucket- all game! Such pretty moves to the basket, so under control with the ball. Athletic, and boy can she take off on transition! Love her finger roll shots! She brings energy to the team, and controls the tempo. <em>Featured Photo, with ball. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='640900' first='Reagan' last='Gray']- 5'8, SF, Perrysburg:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gray can shoot the basketball, and when she's in the zone, watch out! Strong moves in the paint, good footwork. Solid mid-range jumper, ready to shoot. She pays attention to detail, and thats evident with her court awareness. Passes are spot on!  Uses the backboard well when she's anywhere in the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":482685,"width":268,"height":264,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/08/484-Reagan-Gray-1024x1009.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-482685" width="268" height="264"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='484585' first='Cooper' last='McManaway']- 5'7, SF, Teays Valley: </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I love players who have that instinct to anticipates passes. Cooper does that, which leads to fast breaks and easy buckets. She knows how to get to the charity stripe. McManaway is patient with the ball, and finds her shot, hitting from anywhere behind the arc. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='481381' first='Carys' last='Crossland']- 5'7, SG, Patrick Henry:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Crossland is the type of player who competes with no fear, is scrappy after loose balls, hungry on defense, and crashes the boards. Whoever is guarding her, you better box her out, otherwise, she will capitalize on easy shots. She's involved on all plays!  <em>Below with ball. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":483233,"width":375,"height":250,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/08/Carys-Crossland1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-483233" width="375" height="250"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='481364' first='Taylor' last='Dye']- 5'1, PG, Twinsburg:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dye has a high motor- and that speed is seen on defense, as well fast break situations. At 5'1, she has no problem rebounding against the trees! Taylor gets after loose balls, and just goes to work. Does a nice job finding her teammates. She knows her role, and I love her spirit! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":483318,"width":369,"height":246,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/08/Taylor-Dye2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-483318" width="369" height="246"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
