Battle in The Sunflower Saturday 15U Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Six players on Saturday stood out as the Top Performers in the 15U this past weekend at Battle in the The Sunflower event. My counter part Robert knows these young players and I am guessing maybe even already covered them. I enjoyed covering the 15u group and seeing some new young talent I look forward to now following their high school careers. Tag me with those highlights or videos on X or IG and I will definitely check you out. Good luck rest of summer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><img class="wp-image-940984" style="width: 150px" src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/07/33-magic-rotated-crop-2830x1858-1720446102.jpg" alt=""><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='892365' first='Kamry' last='Getz'] 5'11 Quinter HS Class 2027 [program_tooltip program_id='715500' first='Magic' last='Basketball']</strong> A power forward that teams had trouble stopping all weekend. Used her body and feet to create a good passing lane for the guards to feed her the ball. Shot the ball at a very high percentage Saturday. If I had to say a number it would be high 60%-70% Nice soft touch off the glass around the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defensively physical and holds her ground against the much taller post. The thing I really liked was that she was a wall not leaving her feet committing those unnecessary fouls on shots A potential double double every time she touches the floor</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><img class="wp-image-940977" style="width: 150px" src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/07/0-pgh-rotated-crop-2830x1858-1720445812.jpg" alt=""><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='899336' first='Makambri' last='Hastings'] 5'7 Salina Central Class 2027 Lady PGUHoops </strong>Guard that hustled from the start of the game to the end of the game.

What was Impressive on her drives is that she had body control and created the space needed to keep it from getting block</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A defensive player that hunts that the ball in the press and is willing to get on the floor for the steal.

The points came within the offense and were not forced.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
