On the opposite end of this tightly contested matchup, Alcaraz looks to lead Fort Collins past the first round. A dynamic ball handler, the guard is among the leaders in free throw attempts, certainly capable of putting opponents into foul trouble.

Alcaraz was a threat from all levels in this matchup, actively attacking the lane for layups. Effective maintaining composure while drawing contact, no surprise the guard drew quite a few free throws off drives. Her shooting gravity remains a threat, as she knocked down multiple attempts off the catch. Once the guard has turned the corner, she is tough to stop given her array of counters to an incoming defense. Defensively, Alcaraz competes at the point of attack, staying in position for force towards help.

Although gaining momentum through the summer for her perimeter shotmaking, Alcaraz has drawn a ton of free throws to start the season. The junior guard has been particularly impactful leveraging her handle and perimeter gravity to lure defenders for drives. There are few guards with Alcaraz’s footwork off the bounce, capable getting to stepbacks to create just enough room for the shot. Drawing 13 free throws per game through her first 2, the guard has been excellent drawing fouls.

Read EvaluationSpencer Christenson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Avery is a lefty three-point specialist, with a majority of her shot attempts coming from three. She made 56 threes at 35%. Best-suited for the shooting guard spot at the next level, so she can focus on her shot-making ability from deep. A composed offensive game overall and is a solid decision-maker on the court.
