FINAL RANKING #3- As Elise finished her career as the state runner-up in Ohio in Division 2, she also leaves a legacy that will be difficult to top in Northwest Ohio. She is a bigtime scorer with great range and she gets her shot off so quick. Natural born leader and with her size, she is a mismatch problem for defenses. Going to miss her overall floor game. Headed to Villanova.

She was honored as the top player in Northwest Ohio and it should not have been close. Elise has all the tools to be a solid contributor at the next level, incredible court sense and a very high basketball IQ. Can score on anyone, sees the court well and can play in any style. Such a hard worker, Elise averaged 23.1 points per game, and the one game I personally saw her, she put on a show at the Classic in the Country.

Elise makes her way into the top ten and she put on a show in the game I saw back in January. Her game is so sharp, she doesn’t have flaws. She creates with the ball, can score or involve her teammates to get them a better shot. Solid on-ball defender, pushes in transition and showed why she is the top junior in NW Ohio. She moves up from #10 to #8 in Ohio. (Featured photo above)

Elise is having an outstanding season and will be moving up in the rankings later this month. In January she has two big double-doubles as she had 26 points and 11 rebounds against Northview then dropped 34 points in a big game against Laurel at the Classic in the Country and grabbed 11 rebounds. She can do it all with great court awareness and can score in all three phases.
