Hope Showcase – Who Stood Out – Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Hoop Showcase was originally organized by the Hope International University Coach of the womens basketball team as a instrument to promote the Top Schools in the state of California and also help them get recruiting relationships with the kids participating. It is a very smart way to promote your school and to gain some really good relationships with California coaches that have power teams in the state. We went out this weekend and saw some really good teams play and here are some girls that we believe put in some work and allowed us to see how they have improved since last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027, 6'0, CG, San Clemente HS, [player_tooltip player_id='773718' first='Kiley' last='Husbands']</strong><br><br>Kiley is their DIA player that is an impact freshman for their team, she is quite long and lengthy and she can handle the rock and make plays for her team. She shoots the three ball, can make the midrange shot and is quite good going to the rim. Impressed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024, 6'3, PF/C, AZ Compass Prep HS, Sydney Fenn </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Big post on the middle, runs the floor well, can spot up on the three point line or catch and finish at the rim. Soft hands for catches and is a capable passer that throws back out from the double team recognition. She is also s monster in the boards, she dominates in the paint, scores over left and right shoulder. This kid can run the floor in transition and catcha and make buckets thru contact, she has a nice solid body and is a tough competitor on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025, 5'7, SG, Brentwood School HS, [player_tooltip player_id='837768' first='Lev' last='Feiman']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dynamic guard with a variety of moves to score the basketball. Handles it well in transition, will draw and kick, reads the defense and make the right decisions. Takes bumps at the rim and finishes the shot and can get to the freethrow line often. Good size for a lead guard and shows much leadership on the floor, she could stop and pop the three in transition or throw a sweet dime to a teammate for easy buckets.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026, 5''6, CG, Clovis West HS, [player_tooltip player_id='768041' first='Malohni' last='Warren'] </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>guard with a nice stroke from the outside, she gets to spots for easy three pointer opportunities and makes the defense pay for leaving her open. Nice size for a guard and can handle in transition and also slash to rim to get easy buckets thru contact, she was a great compliment to the other two guards on the floor, plus she is a tenacious defender and chased opponents down the floor to get poke outs from behind for steal opportunities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
