<p>Here are a few more of the standouts that I observed over the weekend between the two events that I attended. </p>

<p><strong>Arizona Elite</strong> and <strong>Legacy Youth Sports</strong> both held very good events that gave these young ladies the chance to show what they can do.<br><br><strong>Here are some of the standout players that I witnessed</strong>:<br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='205661' first='Sierra' last='Bomhower'] <strong>Cibola</strong> (VBC National) </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A smooth wing is a hard cover on the offensive end. She's active and knows how to use screens in order to get where she wants to. She's a good ball handler that you can allow to initiate the offense at times. <br> <br>[player_tooltip player_id='205654' first='Thalia' last='Daniels'] <strong>Sandra Day O'Connor </strong>(AZ Elite 17U Gold)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Daniels does a little bit of everything on the court. On offense she will post you up or step out and hit the perimeter jump shot. She's a very good rebounder and also a willing passer. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='640378' first='Ava' last='Lewis'] <strong>Casteel </strong>(AZ Fire Shand)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A long post prospect that shows much promise. She stays long while defending the post and contests shots on the interior. She's a good rebounder who keeps the ball high when she has it. Her offensive game is relatively limited right now but shows the potential for growth in that area. <br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='339058' first='Lucy' last='Sanford'] <strong>Xavier </strong>(AZ Fire Wimbish)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A quick tough point guard who isn't afraid to go inside and bang with bigger players. She has the speed to turn a regular possession into a one person fast break. She makes excellent interior passes and can knock down the three ball with consistency. <br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='640377' first='Rylee' last='Buechler'] <strong>Seton Catholic Prep</strong> (AZ Fire Shand)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A good combo guard that is tough in the open court. When she got on the break she was in attack mode. Rylee can shoot it from outside and has good form on her shot. On defense she's tough with active hands.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='577704' first='Sophia' last='Doromal'] <strong>Cesar Chavez</strong> (AZ Pride Adidas 16U) </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The young point guard played poised and never got rattled from the pressure. Even though she's small in stature she was able to get her shot off with ease against whomever guarded her. She was constantly moving which made her even tougher to cover. She shot it with range and was always looking to find an open teammate. <br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='530983' first='Erica' last='McGadney'] <strong>Saguaro </strong>(AZ Pride Adidas 16U) </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>McGadney is a active wing who doesn't shy away from the action. She hits the boards hard trying to create action. On defense she has good hands and instincts that result in deflections and steals. <br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='598978' first='Callie' last='Hinder'] <strong>Corona del Sol </strong>(AZ Fire Wimbish)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The freshman post player is tall and she plays tall. She is a good rebounder who keeps the ball high and away from the defense. On defense she uses her wingspan to block or alter shots. Hinder showed soft hands on passes from her guards and a good touch around the rim. <br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='640424' first='Jaiona' last='Allen'] <strong>Imagine Prep</strong> (Las Bonitas) </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Allen is a quick freshman guard that is a load in the open court. When she got in one on one situations it was an easy blow by. In addition to being a terror off the dribble she showed a nice looking three point shot. <br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='640352' first='McKenna' last='Johnson']<strong> Liberty</strong> (TWE) </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An incoming freshman, Johnson brings loads of energy to the game. She does all the little things that coaches love like communicating, setting solid screens, boxing out, etc. She should do plenty of damage in high school.<br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='339074' first='Hannah' last='Strauss'] <strong>Perry </strong>(VBC National) </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I like Strauss more every time I see her. She handles the ball very well and has good passing ability. A very good shooter, she also has excellent shot selection. She plays with a high IQ and doesn't make unforced errors very often. Hannah should have a very good spring/summer for VBC.</p>

<p><strong>Shila Davis CG 5'4 2024 Moon Valley</strong> (Valley Storm) </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A good ball handler Davis plays with composure. She showed good form on her shot including a nice floater. On defense she has good foot speed and lateral quickness.</p>
