Her role will take a big jump for her squad this winter and she continues to work hard for [program_tooltip program_id='747557' first='Team' last='Warwick'] this summer to improve her game. She is one of the best on-ball defenders you can find and plays an aggressive scrappy style that her teammates feed off of!   [player_tooltip player_id='729625' first='Lydia' last='Austin'] - Centerville - 5'4" G   Lydia, twin sister to Brea (above), is a talented young guard for Centerville who also looks to take on a bigger role this winter for the Tornadoes. She is a very solid shooter and has excellent fundamental skill in both her shot and her handles. She is lightning quick and does a great job getting downhill on the attack and reads defenders very well in a motion offense.     Emmerson Robertson - 5'7" G - Sioux Falls Lincoln   Emmerson does an excellent job on offense moving without the basketball, being shot ready, and shooting the ball with confidence. A strong shooter for this squad she does a great job stretching the defense, opening up gaps for her teammates and putting points on the board.     [player_tooltip player_id='894049' first='Kenzie' last='Bosma'] - 5'5" G - Lennox   Kenzie is an athletic, talented guard for the Orioles of Lennox. She has a quick, downhill mentality on the drive and does a nice job reading the defense. She has natural athleticism and has a ton of skill to go along with it. Solid handles, a consistent shot maker, and a high basketball IQ make her a big asset to this squad.     [player_tooltip player_id='934570' first='Peyton' last='Herlyn'] - 5'4" G - Lennox   Peyton is a talented guard who is making vast improvements crafting her skill on [program_tooltip program_id='747557' first='Team' last='Warwick'] this summer. She is an intense, aggressive defender who puts pressure on her opponents every possession. She is one of the best rebounders on this squad and is an invaluable asset as a perimter rebounder.     [player_tooltip player_id='834250' first='Natalie' last='Lueth'] - 5'7" G - McCook Central/Montrose   Natalie is an up-and-coming guard for the MCM Cougars and she is playing a large role for [program_tooltip program_id='747557' first='Team' last='Warwick'] this summer. She is a solid shooter who provides consistent guard play in the backcourt for this squad!     Emory Lincecum - 5'6" G - Central Lyon   Emory is a talented guard for the very successful Central Lyon program in Iowa. Her talent is showing up this summer for her Warwick squad as a solid defender and slasher to the rim on offense. She does a great job off the dribble-drive and creates points for her team with her ability to get into the paint and finish.     [player_tooltip player_id='731163' first='Cadence' last='Hofer'] - 5'7" F - Freeman   Cadence adds length to this Warwick roster and serves as their top rebounder on the squad. She does a nice job defending the paint and helps her team get stops on that end. On the offensive end she can knock down jump shots as well as score in the paint making her a diverse threat.     [player_tooltip player_id='934569' first='Quinn' last='Meyer'] - 5'6" G - Colman-Egan   Quinn is a scrappy guard who plays with great intensity and a high motor. She is very athletic and has quickness that bodes well on both ends of the floor. She has quick handles and a nice jump shot which makes her a scoring threat game in and game out.     Coach's Comments:   "The U15 Warwick 2 group is made up of kids from Sioux Falls Lincoln, McCook Central, Lennox, Freeman, Centerville, Colman Egan and Central Lyon (Iowa). We have played in 3 tournaments to this point of the summer (Sioux Falls for the SD Spring Showcase, Des Moines for the Battle of the Best, and Sioux City for the Battle on the River). The girls were 2-2 in SF, 2-3 in Des Moines and 3-0 in Sioux City. We'll wrap up the summer with a June 29/30 tournament at the Pentagon, July 12-14 in the Cities, and July 26-28 in Sioux Falls.   The team has bought into the concepts of full court defense as well as a focus on transition offense with ball movement in the half court. It's been a fun team to coach with so many players having similarities in their games. Each of the girls shoots the ball well from the perimeter. We don't really have any true post players as all of the girls would like to play outside. We've had to rotate several of the kids into post positions in an effort to generate at least a few traditional post up opportunities. I have been very happy with the group on the defensive end. There has been buy in on effort on that end of the court. Despite not having a ton of height, defensive effort has allowed them to battle in games all summer long."
