Armante Dambruskas is a newcomer on the scene. The 5’10” power forward’s effort was on full display when she hit the court. Your eyes shifted to her when she was playing as her athleticism stood out. She has great length and speed which makes her a double threat on offense and defense. She has great shooting mechanics and her strength allows her to shoot smoothly from the perimeter.
I was lucky enough to get to see Bella two Sundays in a row. She didn’t disappoint either time. Her defensive skills stood out again this weekend. She immediately boxes out as soon as the ball goes up. She rebounds with authority and her relentless pursuit of the ball troubles her opponents. Opponents have a tough time shooting over her.

Mikalya Sumney was one of my favorite bigs to watch at the prospect camp. The junior put on a rebounding show. She sets the pace of the game with her presence. She not only pulls down o-boards but she gets that ball right back in the basket for great putbacks. It is one thing to have height but it is another to use every inch of your frame to command the paint. She does this with ease.
Sydney Scott Sydney Scott 5’9″ | SG Plainfield North | 2025 State IL made her presence known in the games on Sunday. Her high energy allowed her to take command on the court. Her skill instilled confidence in her teammates. She blocked shots and converted those to steals. Her frame is an asset in the paint allowing her to show off her offensive moves.
