Emerson Thompson is known for her ball handling and court vision, and she certainly continues to drive to the hoop even attacking baseline making it no matter what angle she comes in. She also showed off her ability to post up on the block sliding into the opening and getting the pass to score some points. She even had a couple blocks making strong defensive stops.
Maliah Preston has a nice stroke from the perimeter. She had some tough takes in the paint finishing through contact as she showed off her floater. She was making nice passes knowing when to throw up the lob or execute the bounce pass to hit her teammates in stride. She’s tough on defense protecting the rim and blocking shots locking them up as the opponent tried to go up for the shot.
Laniya Scales was using her length to knock away the ball and grab some steals. She easily blocks shots, too, protecting the basket. On the other end, that length is a nice asset to have on pick and roll plays being able to hit her over the top to score points at the rim. She’s tough attacking the basket scoring three finishing from the free throw line.
Highlights
Kailyn Young scored three points the old fashioned way multiple times hitting it off the glass. She did a nice job seeing the floor making the quick passes into her teammates hitting them in stride as they flashed to the basket. She can get inside guarding the post, and she can protect the perimeter keeping up with all kinds of guards.
Highlights
Serenity McNair is an excellent ball handler knowing where to attack the basket and make her move scoring no matter who is trying to guard her. She keeps her opponents close by closing out on their shot and being able to block it with her quickness. Her IQ is always apparent when she steps on the court making plays on both ends.
