Patton is all about stop, pop, shoot, and swish!  Ohhhhh she’s got the shooting touch from deep!  And I love how she plays with intensity on both ends of the ball!  She communicates with her teammates and demonstrates encouragement throughout the game! (Below passing)

Chandler, a guard for Mystics 15U S40, had a great day Saturday at the MI College Tour Northwood, making her presence felt on both ends of the floor. She was a relentless defender, applying constant pressure and coming away with multiple steals, including a few she turned into fast-break points on the other end. While her defense stood out, she also contributed offensively by knocking down shots from beyond the arc and attacking the lane with her quickness. She showed the ability to get downhill and create for others as well, highlighted by a strong drive-and-kick play. Chandler’s two-way effort made for a well-rounded performance.

Chandler has a non-stop motor on the court. She makes plays to help the team succeed on both ends. Chandler moved her feet quickly to turn ball-handlers and cut off drives. She changed directions suddenly, using shifty crossover and between-the-leg combos, then drove by with a burst to earn trips to the foul line. Chandler used a pocket dribble, crossed over her defender, changed hands in the lane, and finished with her left in traffic. She’s a speedy, compact point guard who can shoot from the perimeter, slash to the hoop, defend, and set up teammates. Chandler’s shown clear progress over the past year, especially with her ball-handling. She had a great opening weekend for Mystics 15U S40 at the PGH MI College Tour.

Chandler demonstrated true toughness by playing through a hand injury during the Headliners Invitational. She found a way to make a noticeable impact for Team Liberty and was a fantastic facilitator. Chandler’s court vision in transition and accurate passes resulted in many assists. One of her best plays was a quick spin dribble drive down the baseline and a perfect hammer pass to the opposite corner. She jumped into the passing lane for a steal on defense, converted layups, and shot the ball with confidence from beyond the arc. Chandler will be an exciting guard to watch at Powers Catholic.

Patton, a freshmen guard, brings a smooth jump shot and ability to knock down the three with confidence. She plays with great awareness on offense, always looking to create for her teammates – whether thats dropping it off to the block for an easy two or kicking it out for an open three. Patton’s poise and unselfish play make her another young player to keep an eye on that will be exciting to watch this season.

Chandler’s game keeps growing on me the more I watch her play. She’s an unselfish player who makes smart decisions with the ball, plays hard on both ends, and energizes her teammates. Chandler can light it up from three-point distance and I’m excited to watch her compete this Sunday at the Headliners Invitational.

Patton has great energy that fuels anyone she’s on the floor with. It could without a doubt be a game changer for Powers Catholic. She is calm under pressure and is focused on setting her teammates up for success. Also has confidence to step up and knock down a three when her team needs it. Be on the lookout for her highlights this season.

Chandler came out confident right from the get-go. She was electric during 3v3. Chandler showed her outside range, burying a triple up top, and powered through contact to score an and-one layup going full-speed to the basket. Her team-oriented style was a difference maker for Team 4 at the Freshman Showcase. She was an excellent facilitator, dishing an excellent entry pass and strong skip to teammates for assists. Chandler handled the ball with confidence and drove hard to the basket for a layup. Her skills and positive energy are going to be a great addition to the Powers Catholic program this winter.

Chandler was on fire for Mystics Black 2029 at the Select Super Showcase. She made a smooth transfer to score a layup in transition and consistently drove hard downhill to score layups. Chandler found her hot spot in the corner and made the defense pay with three triples. She blocked a shot on defense, knocked down a pair of free throws, and worked hard in every phase of the game. Chandler played well with Powers Catholic at Northwood Camp and has a bright future ahead of her. I’m excited to see her again at our Freshman Showcase!
