Nora Kruja 5’5 2021 G Pinnacle
Kruja is tough! Might be one of the toughest girls in the event. She is able to take a hit and keep on coming. I really respect that. She doesn’t let her size influence her play at all. She is a very scrappy and tough defender!
Lexi McNabb 5’6 2022 G Seton Catholic
I really like McNabb’s defensive game! She reads screens very well and is able to get around them and stay on her opponents hip. That is key to guarding really good shooters! She is also very pesky and can get in there for steals.
Mariam Traore 6’3 2021 F Williams Field
Traore was a little uncoordinated and out of control at times. Just looks like she hasn’t gotten comfortable with her body yet, especially being so tall at a young age. She did turn away a few shots and at times she looked like a very good rim protecting big.
Sam Curry 5’11 2020 F Hamilton
Curry was all over her opponents tonight. She was always pressing up on them and getting steals. She got a few blocks as well but I think her best defensive component was how well she made her opponents uncomfortable with the ball.
Marisa Davis-Jones 6’1 2021 F Valley Vista
MDJ is probably the best perimeter defender in state. When you mix her size, length, athleticism, speed, and wing span all together, you get a defensive nightmare.
Gabrielle Schwartz 6’0 2021 F Perry
Schwartz plays such great defense, especially on ball. She is really good at keeping her defender from getting into the paint. She is actually a very good shot blocker too.
