Queens of the Court, Part 1: Queen City Tip-Off

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='537669' first='Milee' last='Smith']: 5'10, 2026, Unioto:</strong> Smith is playing her best basketball- and to think she's only a sophomore! I'm impressed with the poise she shows- she is sensational shooting the rock, but her boards and ability to block are just as impressive. And college coaches are loving what they see!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":455121,"width":"365px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/07/IMG_3600-scaled.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-455121" style="width:365px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='626020' first='Hannah' last='Mayse']: 5'8, 2024, Alter: </strong>When Mayse is feeling it- give her the rock! Such a pretty stroke from outside. She does so well following her shot, crashing the boards, and involving her teammates! Great feeds inside to the post, and a strong motor! <em>(Below on defense)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":817773,"width":"368px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_7041.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-817773" style="width:368px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mckenzie Jones - 5'11 , 2026, Purcell Marian:</strong> I don't think Jones receives the attention she deserves. Her defense is very strong, always on full alert- and you combine that with her quick instincts, athleticism, and smooth dribble penetration moves to the basket..that equals a headache for opponents! Very high ceiling! <em>(Below, shooting)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":817774,"width":"371px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_7652.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-817774" style="width:371px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='469390' first='Bella' last='Sturgill']: 6'0, 2026, Lakota East:</strong> Bella seems to always be at the right place, at the right time! She makes wise choices on transition, and positions her body to protect the ball when going to the basket. Solid outside shooter, and hustles on both ends of the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":817775,"width":"315px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_6929.jpg?w=722" alt="" class="wp-image-817775" style="width:315px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='319321' first='Bryn' last='Martin']: 6'1, 2025, Springboro:</strong> This young lady is special. I love how efficient she is in her passing- marvelous basketball IQ, and makes the big plays. High level of execution, and such a difficult assignment for opposing teams to guard. She's got my MVP vote! <em>(Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":817776,"width":"362px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_7676.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-817776" style="width:362px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='217325' first='Gwen' last='Jenkins']: 5'9, 2024, Dublin Coffman:</strong> Jenkins comes into every game with a target on her back, because teams know she can light it up from deep! But she handles the pressure very well. Love her low cross over dribble, and quick shooting release! <em>(Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":817777,"width":"364px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_6753.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-817777" style="width:364px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='280091' first='Erica' last='King']: 5'8, 2024, Akron SVSM:</strong> This Youngstown State commit has so many weapons! Offensively, King will 1v1 against anyone, has a pretty floater, solid mid-range shot, and without question can knock down the 3 ball. I love her hesitations moves with the rock. <em>(Featured Photo)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":817778,"width":"365px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_6775.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-817778" style="width:365px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
