Angie’s Notebook- 16U Buckeye Breakdown Saturday AM!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#12 Addie Prewit,  [program_tooltip program_id='712679' first='Midwest' last='Elite EYBL'] 2025: </strong>Beautiful passer! Her half court bounce pass- impressive and perfect!  So smooth attacking the basket! Her hands are so active on defense! Reads passes very well. She glides when taking the ball to the basket. Never rattled. Competes!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":650787,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/IMG_7862.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-650787" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#21 [player_tooltip player_id='593853' first='Lexi' last='Baer'], [program_tooltip program_id='712679' first='Midwest' last='Elite EYBL'] 2025:</strong> I love her length, beautiful left handed move in the lane. She is comfortable shooting from anywhere- not a shot she doesn't love! Lexi plays hard!  And she's a 15U player, playing up! More than holds her own. Remember Baer's name! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":650788,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/IMG_7953.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-650788" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#32 Regan Gray, [program_tooltip program_id='716048' first='Icon' last='Basketball'] 2025:</strong> Strong motor, gets back on defense quickly. I like how she moves without the ball, looks for cutters, plays under control. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#5 [player_tooltip player_id='368887' first='Alea' last='Cook'], [program_tooltip program_id='712480' first='Dayton' last='Metro'] 2025 Thomas:</strong> Love her intensity, how she gets from point A to point B quickly.  Nice outside shot, knocks down 3's. Cook goes hard on transition, certainly not afraid of contact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":650789,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/IMG_8119.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-650789" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#13 Katherine Jackson, [program_tooltip program_id='712480' first='Dayton' last='Metro'] 2025 Thomas: </strong>Way to attack the lane, and connect on a pretty floater! Strong rebounder, follows her shot, plays physical.  (Below in white jersey)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":650792,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/IMG_8035.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-650792" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#14 [player_tooltip player_id='319032' first='Kenzie' last='Smith'], [program_tooltip program_id='712435' first='Buckeye' last='State Blast'] NL Smith:</strong> Threeeeeee! And I love your pull up jumpers!  Smooth, under control, confident! She runs the offense very well! Great passer! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":650791,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/IMG_8010.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-650791" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#42 Mia McDonald, [program_tooltip program_id='712435' first='Buckeye' last='State Blast'] NL Smith:</strong> Wow, I love your footwork on the block! Strong! You just do whatever the team needs.  Rebounding, contain your opponent, all the little things that add up! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#23 [player_tooltip player_id='319381' first='Raegan' last='Heck'], [program_tooltip program_id='712435' first='Buckeye' last='State Blast'] NL Smith:</strong> Active on the boards, resulting in easy buckets inside. Such a strong, athletic player! Great speed, defends well, and pushes the ball with urgency! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":650790,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/IMG_8015.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-650790" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#35 Alyssa Gruhlke, [program_tooltip program_id='712435' first='Buckeye' last='State Blast'] NL Smith: </strong> I like her length a lot!  She takes care of business on both ends of the floor. Gruhlke finds the open spots and connects!  Uses the glass well! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
