Small Town Seniors With A Lot Of BANG! Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With high school hoops upon us let's take a look at some small-town seniors that if you're in the mood to travel and watch hoops in person this year that you'll want to stop and watch along the way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='257885' first='Cora' last='Badding'] - Langdon Area - 6'1 -</strong> Cora is a freakishly athletic player. She's a multi-sport athlete just earning all-state honors in Volleyball this year. She's a back to the basket bully that positions herself well under the rim. She's got nice footwork and quick lateral movement for getting in help side in time for blocked shots. A great sense of basketball urgency and a key factor in the Cardinals recent success. A top-notch player that is sure to bring the heat this season as and returning senior [player_tooltip player_id='257890' first='Jaya' last='Henderson'] try and will Langdon to another State finish. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219719' first='Allison' last='Thomas'] - Medina - 5'7 -</strong> Allison is back for her senior year. The lights out shooter still has something to prove in the newly realigned Region 1. Allison's movement speed continues to get quicker year by year since her ACL tear a few years back. She's got great ball handling skills and finds open teammates when it matters most. She's a hot streak shooter that if you let get going can really pour in the numbers in a hurry. I'm anticipating a breakout year from this player as it's well deserved. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='278881' first='Teagan' last='Erbele'] - Napoleon - 5'7 - </strong>Teagan has been a menace since her freshman year. She's revamped the culture of this Napoleon squad having before gone multiple 0-win seasons. She's a player that is a coach's dream who plays hard every night and does the little things right. Did I mention she's a lefty? She's got a great presence on the right block being able to finish with either hand and has a fantastic up and under move that often gets her extra points at the charity line. A superb talent that surely will go play NAIA ball somewhere. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='256848' first='Addison' last='Fredericksen'] - Grafton - 6'1 - </strong>Addison is a 6 plus mobile big that is an anchor defensively. An impressive athlete that can get up and down the court, laterally quick enough to stay with faster guards and actively moves her feet and hands on defense. She's got a strong build that allows her to position downlow getting the advantage over smaller posts and has a nice-looking post hook/shot. A truly talented player with a lot of upside room to grow as a player even after her senior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='278888' first='Kaycee' last='Desjarlais'] - St. John - 5'10 -</strong> Not quite just a big, but not a guard either. Kaycee is a player that can hurt you in a multitude of ways on the court. She's not really a 3-point shooter but can be deadly from beyond the arc when the Woodchucks need a basket. She's more so in the post, waiting for the sweet dime pass to come through from the dribble drive offensive. A dump and shoot player, but also can take you to the rim if needed from 15 out. She's got nice lateral quickness and truly takes the teams shot and not her hot. A player that last year averaged 10 points, 8 rebounds and 2 steals a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
