And her defense, she never lets up! Her eyes are glued to the rock! Ultra quick feet and handles. <em>(Below on defense)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":899523,"width":"336px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/089AA309-363D-48DE-99D6-3E1B4489821B_1_105_c.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-899523" style="width:336px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#21 [player_tooltip player_id='319353' first='Ryen' last='Smith']: 5-11, [program_tooltip program_id='712435' first='Buckeye' last='State Blast'] Nexxt Level Smith 2025:&nbsp;</strong> Ryen's shooting mechanics are top notch! She's money from any spot! When that first shot falls in, that's all she needs to find her groove! Opponents focus on trying to stop Smith, but great scorers find ways to put the ball in the basket. Defensively she attacks the boards. And Ryen's style of play makes her so versatile that she can play pretty much anywhere! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":899522,"width":"334px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/IMG_9798-2.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-899522" style="width:334px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#42 [player_tooltip player_id='858306' first='Mia' last='McDonald']: 5-10, [program_tooltip program_id='712435' first='Buckeye' last='State Blast'] Nexxt Level Smith 2025:&nbsp;</strong> I love her activity in the paint and grabbing rebounds! She is mentally strong and her overall fundamentals- solid!&nbsp;And a bloody nose doesn't phase her! She comes back in and continues where she left off! Great footwork! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":899519,"width":"338px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/IMG_9829-2.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-899519" style="width:338px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#4  [player_tooltip player_id='533104' first='Riley' last='Zamensky']: 6-0, [program_tooltip program_id='712738' first='Ohio' last='Future'] 2025 McClain NE2K: </strong>Riley is the type of player that can post up with ease on one play, and knock down outside shots from anywhere on the next possession! Smooth in handling the ball, athletic, and has a high level of execution. She is going to do great things at the next level! <em>(Featured Photo)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":899525,"width":"331px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/IMG_9842-2.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-899525" style="width:331px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#1 [player_tooltip player_id='894600' first='Alyssa' last='Baker']: 5-7, [program_tooltip program_id='712738' first='Ohio' last='Future'] 2025 McClain NE2K: </strong>Baker is impressive! Very noticeable that her basketball knowledge is high. Strong motor, great instincts, and oh my can she shoot! Quick trigger with range!  Finds the gaps to get open looks. Just makes things click for the team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":899528,"width":"330px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/IMG_9812-2.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-899528" style="width:330px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#10 [player_tooltip player_id='636710' first='Kendall' last='Sury']: 5-10, [program_tooltip program_id='712738' first='Ohio' last='Future'] 2025 McClain NE2K: </strong>Coaches, if you are looking for a guard with ice in her veins, thrives on making big plays when the game is on the line, who can take it right into the chest of the defender for two, and handles the ball with care- then look no further! She's special. Period. <em>(Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":899521,"width":"332px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/E7CA9137-3862-462C-A823-FDCE34968C7A_1_105_c.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-899521" style="width:332px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#0 [player_tooltip player_id='808868' first='Ella' last='Hanky']: 6-0, [program_tooltip program_id='715874' first='Legends' last='U'] 15U Black S40:</strong>  I am a big fan of this young lady! Outstanding job keeping the ball alive for multiple chances to score. Crashes the boards all game long! And whoever is guarding her- well, they have their hands full because she is simply a beast with length and muscle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":899530,"width":"333px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/A4A45C92-BE0B-42B9-9F87-7E83508004D3_1_105_c.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-899530" style="width:333px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#22 Kenna Hunt: 2028, [program_tooltip program_id='715874' first='Legends' last='U'] 15U Black S40: </strong> Wow- Hunt is a walking bucket, consistent, with textbook form! She can make a living from behind the arc!   Spreads the defense because of her outside shooting. Plays with poise! She's a natural! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":899527,"width":"334px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/5E59D1AF-B499-4693-A5DC-EFB3660439A9_1_105_c.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-899527" style="width:334px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#33 Dezirae Thomas: 2028, [program_tooltip program_id='715874' first='Legends' last='U'] 15U Black S40:  </strong>Love how she finds the open teammate while penetrating to the bucket! Crisp, spot on passes with zing!  She keeps the ball tight and secure. And she's a pest on defense- sits low, quick feet, and active hands! <em>(Below on defense)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":899529,"width":"332px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/A4A43D85-7858-4180-95E5-786C0C8A0349_1_105_c.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-899529" style="width:332px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#44 Reece Hackney: 5-7, [program_tooltip program_id='715874' first='Legends' last='U'] 15U Black S40: </strong> The growth that Hackney has shown from November to April is impressive! She reads opponents eyes, anticipates picking off passes, and is often the one who puts the team in position for transition buckets. I love her game! Keep your eyes on this one! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":899534,"width":"332px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/9E657873-376A-4DD6-88E2-A636FF74BD24_1_105_c.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-899534" style="width:332px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#2 Aleeah Wells: 5-9, [program_tooltip program_id='715874' first='Legends' last='U'] 15U Black S40: </strong> Aleeah moves so well without the ball, finds the open lanes to cut and positions herself well to score! Ohhh, she's money from outside! Great court vision, loves to push on transition and capitalizes! <em>(Below in white jersey)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":899541,"width":"200px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/04/IMG_9521.jpg?w=508" alt="" class="wp-image-899541" style="width:200px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
