Classic in the City Wrap-Up! Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#12 Nyla Washington, 2024, Pickerington North:</strong> Nyla plays tough, does a nice job grabbing boards, and has no problem going coast to coast! I like how she finds the open lane, competes in the paint, and is a shooting threat from outside. <em>(Below, shooting)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841830,"width":"304px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_5050.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-841830" style="width:304px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#14 Carletta Bennett, 2025, Kings Christian (CAN):</strong> You can tell very quickly that Bennett is a leader, she takes charge, and is not afraid to make the big plays! Carletta is dependable- you can count on her to make buckets in the paint, and connects from behind the arc! <em>(Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841864,"width":"306px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_6743.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-841864" style="width:306px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#22 Brooke McLeod, 2026, Crestwood Prep (CAN): </strong>Big time player, and one of the most impressive all-around ballers at Classic in the City! At 6'2, combined with her ability to cover so much real estate, she creates a nightmare for opposing coaches! Such a smooth finish around the rim, hurts teams going baseline, on the block, and from outside! <em>(Below on defense)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841863,"width":"305px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_7490.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-841863" style="width:305px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#12 Avery Arije, 2027, Crestwood Prep (CAN):</strong> This diaper dandy has a very bright future! Avery provides energy, defensive pressure on the ball, light feet, and fantastic quick reactions offensively. Sets up her teammates with high percentage shots, and has no problem shooting from downtown! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841862,"width":"303px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_7617.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-841862" style="width:303px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#21 [player_tooltip player_id='519717' first='Ava' last='Harrigan'], 2025, Upper Arlington: </strong> Harrigan, a shooting guard/forward, plays with intensity! This lefty is as smooth as butter from behind the arc! No hesitation, plays with confidence, and gets after it on the press, creating turnovers and fast break opportunities! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841880,"width":"302px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/10/Ava-Harrigan-scaled-crop-2049x1345-1705788885.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-841880" style="width:302px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#23 [player_tooltip player_id='360804' first='Maya' last='Nahar'], 2025, Western Reserve: </strong>Nahar's strength and length is such a dilemma for opponents to contend with! In standing alone, Maya is 6'4, but with her arms up and jumping, my goodness, guards don't have much of a chance to get past this blocking beast! <em>(Below, blocking shot; Featured Photo)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841841,"width":"303px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_0891.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-841841" style="width:303px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#4 [player_tooltip player_id='894183' first='Claire' last='Mikola'], 2025, Olentangy Liberty:</strong> Mikola tears it up on the soccer field and has committed to the University of Dayton, however, she uses those same quick instincts on the basketball court! No problem picking pockets, drains the 3, and is an athletic guard who plays with poise and control! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#32 [player_tooltip player_id='592622' first='Allison' last='Price'], 2025, Marysville:</strong> The Price family has some serious basketball genes, and its in Allison's DNA for sure! She does it all- stretches the floor with her shooting, crisp passer, finds the open cutters, forces turnovers, and she's all about the Team! She's a next level baller! <em>(Below on defense)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841835,"width":"304px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_8579.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-841835" style="width:304px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#23 Imari Robinson, 2024, Butler Traditional (KY):</strong> Terrific job attacking the basket on transition! I like her quickness, and how efficient Imari is offensively. Robinson is automatic from the charity stripe, and takes care of the ball! <em>(Below, shooting)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841833,"width":"304px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_8329.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-841833" style="width:304px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#13 [player_tooltip player_id='801072' first='Libby' last='Henry'], 2024, New Albany: </strong>It doesn't matter how many opponents are in the paint trying to grab rebounds- Henry makes room for herself and battles for the ball anytime a shot has been released! Scrappy player, strong moves to the bucket, soft touch around the rim, and can knock down shots from deep! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841834,"width":"308px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_8455.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-841834" style="width:308px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#20 Shayla Montgomery, 2024, St. Albans (WV):</strong> Shayla is the type of player that fills the stats with a lot of goodness! I don't know what Montgomery has averaged this season, however, when I see someone grabbing 16 rebounds, that shows me heart and guts! She finished with a double-double! #IntensePlayer <em>(Below shooting)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":841832,"width":"307px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_6925.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-841832" style="width:307px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#42 Maddy Keaton, 2024, Pickerington North: </strong> Nothing but nylon at the line! Strong frame! I really like how she works hard inside. Because of her hustle, she saved the ball a few times and gave the team a second chance in scoring. She came up with a great play at the end of the game defensively! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
