West Virginia Top 250 Expo: Big Shots In Bridgeport

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Some of the top girls basketball players in the state of West Virginia were all in the same building competing against one another at the Bridgeport Recreation Complex last Saturday, September 10th. Below are my standout performers from the Prep Girls Hoops West Virginia Top 250 Expo in Bridgeport, West Virginia. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63214f82e7844","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["342218"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-63e17c4dc9755"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Pickens has been working hard all summer constantly improving her game. Pickens is one of the top centers coming out of the 2025 class in the state of West Virginia. Her size, strength, and elite shot blocking ability made her a real intimidator down low on the defensive end. Pickens can be physical in the post but she has a finesse to her game as well having enough touch to step out and hit shots from the perimeter. I was very impressed with her ability to pass out of the high post. She always finds the open teammate putting the ball right in the shooters pocket.

Dandridge has the perfect build and frame for a guard. That combined with her superior ball handling skills, athleticism, and quickness made it hard to stop her from penetrating the lane and finishing with a floater at the rim. Dandridge is indeed a tough task for any defender at the perimeter. She also displayed her lethal long range shooting ability, consistently knocking down the three ball when she got a good look. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_632153df02ce4","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["455723"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-63e17c4dc97dc"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='496341' first='Hope' last='Dever'] is a high motor player who plays hard every possession on both ends of the floor.

If you like prospects that give maximum effort and provides that spark of energy on the court.

Class of 2025 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='496354' first='Raigan' last='Mccalla'] can flat out fill up a stat sheet. She has great court awareness and a very high basketball IQ. McCalla moves really well without the ball in her hands. She is most effective slashing the lane, she makes hard cuts and uses that momentum to score at the rim. McCalla can finish with either hand and has no problem scoring even with contact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63224ee26e8cc","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["496340"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-63e17c4dc9827"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Bridgeport's own [player_tooltip player_id='496340' first='Haylee' last='Pryor'] is an absolute bruiser on the basketball court. She is slightly undersized for a post player but her strength, shear determination, and will to compete allows her to handle her own in the interior. Pryor is a deadeye shooter from the three with a super quick release making it difficult to put a hand in her face before the shot goes up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
