<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2025 class was well represented at the Inside Explorer Tournament. In this article, we look at some of the Sophomores who stood out on Saturday at the Inside Explorers March Madness Tournament in Alachua, FL. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='400774' first='Jadynn' last='Spivey'] / 2025 &nbsp; /&nbsp; 5"6&nbsp; SG&nbsp; /&nbsp; Creekside&nbsp; /&nbsp; SE United</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Spivey was all over the court making things happen in all three phases of the game. Spivey ran the floor well in all of her games. She brought the energy for the entire game and was very effective in the transition game as a result. She got steals and turned them into scores and assists. Spivey can also shoot the ball. She connected on a few shots from behind the arc, scored on the mid-range, and got to the basket.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='346818' first='Jayden' last='Terry'] / 2025  /  5'8 CG  /  Gainesville High /  SE United</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Terry is the epitome of smooth and smart on the basketball court.   She has a great understanding of putting the ball in the basket and scoring in any way necessary.   She understands how to score from the free-throw line and uses it masterfully.  She can shoot from all levels on the court and can get to her spots on the floor with her handling skills. Terry is very athletic, has a nice vertical, and rebounds well from the guard position. She is a scary player in the pick-and-roll game because of her ability to shoot, drive and pass efficiently out of this offensive set. Defensively, she is quick and applies great on-ball pressure. Does a good job of playing help-side defense and working in tandem with her teammates on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Victoria Noble</strong> / 2025  /  5'7 SG  /  Fleming Iskand / SE United Noble started out on fire in her first game today, knocking down three three-pointers in the first half.  The Sophomore plays with great energy and can really shoot the ball   Noble all played well on the defensive end </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='248557' first='Breah' last='Usry'] / 2025 / 5'6 PG, SG /&nbsp; Ponte Vedra /&nbsp; SE United</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Usry can run all day and she was arguably the most athletic player in the building.  She definitely had the most stamina in the building. Usry caused problems in the transition game and created turnovers also with her tough on-ball defense. Usry also shot it well from the midrange and behind the arc. Usry plays both sides of the court and can affect the outcome of a game without scoring a point. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='515103' first='Saige' last='McCloud'] / 2025 / 6'0 PF / Meadowbrook Academy / NF Eagles</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McCloud was one of the most athletic players in the building. She is a physical player and showed the ability to get to the rim and finish in the painted area. McCloud also has a knack of getting to the free-throw line. The athletic big knocked down 19 points in a losing effort and scored all but 15 of her team's total points. Her size and athleticism were unmatched on the courts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were a lot of good 2025 prospects in the building. More coverage to come on the Sophomores who stood out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
