Day 1 Gym Notes: FABC Girls Team Camp 2023

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was a Big Time Basketball Day for High School Basketball in Gainesville FL. High School teams gathered at the Alachua County Sports and Events Center and played some serious basketball in front of D1 Coaches. In this article we look at a few themes that played out at FABC Girls Team Camp 2023. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024 Guards Represented Well</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='248291' first='Kennedy' last='Rosendahl'] played well and was primarily at the point guard position on Day 1. The 2024 guard was really potent from the outside in game 1. She showed some grit in the second game of the day and had to get to the rim and play solid defense. Rosendahl handled the ball well and got the ball unselfishly to teammates. She has always beena great three point shooter but got to the rim often during the team camp event. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='349438' first='Piera' last='Alexander'] was clutch in game one in an overtime affair. The 2024 guard connected on several threes, including the game winning three pointer in sudden death overtime. In addition to shooting gthe ball, Alexander was also responsible for handling the "rock" as well. She did a great job of handling the ball and also distributing the ball to her teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='248303' first='Jasmine' last='Bocca'] made a splash two ways on Day 1 of the tournament. The 2024 guard made her debut at Colonial and things just looked effortless at times. Bocca is that consummate floor general on the court. She rejoined forces with [player_tooltip player_id='243892' first='Carmen' last='Richardson']. The two last played together in 4th grade and 7 years later they have teamed up for a potent guard tandem. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='243892' first='Carmen' last='Richardson'] was her ususal self. Richardson is that player who does everything well and can just flat out ball. Richardson showed the float game and the ability to get to the rim. She also had some nice midrange jumpers. Richardson moves the ball as good as anyone and always makes the correct basketball play whether its a shot or a pass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='221698' first='Courtney' last='Lowe'] picked up where she left off in travel ball. Lowe is one of the best shooters in the 2024 class. She connected on several threes, but the most impressive shot was the three pointer she made in sudden death overtime - first team that scores wins the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Forwards Creating a "Buzz" in the Room. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='248267' first='Aariana' last='Rose Gravel'] created energy in the room. Her explosion is just off the charts. Gravel gets great position on the inside and she also runs the floor very well. A few coaches were making tick marks after some of her scores on the inside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='217663' first='Sydney' last='Roundtree'] moved the needle in the room from just doing layups. One coach saw Roundtree's athleticism and explosiveness and immediately commented on it. Roundtree does a little of everything on the court, including rebounding, handling the ball, and scoring in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='248345' first='Clare' last='Coyle'] had the attention of a lot of coaches on the floor. The Junior forward ran the floor well and scored in the painted area. Coyle brings the energy every game she particpates in. Coyle is a great rebounder who can score in the paint and in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='223866' first='Channing' last='Warren'] played well and stood out on the court. The 6'3 F/C always stands out physically. Warren was active on both ends of the court. She rebounded well, blocked shots and finished in the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
