I was really impressed with Ella and her ability to handle the ball and create shots for herself and her teammates. A lot of kids reference being shifty in their Instagram handles and most of them can’t handle the ball as good as Casing. In the final four game versus Redline, she had defenders on skates trying to stay in front of her to no avail and she led her team to hard earned victory. Casing is not called upon to score much playing in high school, but she showed that she is fully capable of going and getting a bucket if her team needs it. Ella is a player whose ranking will go up before next season with consistent play in a couple more evaluations. She is an underrated player who I look forward to seeing again.

Bundle of energy plays at a high pace. Aggressive in the press. Physical defender. Looks to get others involved as a passer but has grown as a scorer, adept at getting to her spots for high arcing pull-ups.

Quick and undersized, the jitterbug guard was highly involved in Sequoyah’s win over Cambridge going for 10 points, 3 assists and 2 steals on 4-13 shooting. Ella has terrific speed with the ball, a whirling dervish with how she pirouettes past defenders. She kept her turnovers down against the Bears’ press, coughing up just three miscues. Casing drilled a deep three and scored her other hoops in the paint.

Casing was the game manager that knew how to control the flow of the game. High IQ guard with handles to come off the screen and score but also see the next open player. Her handles helped her elude defenders and get in the paint to penetrate and kick. When needed she stepped up and knocked down numerous triples on the day. Playmaker.

Facilitator. Can break the first line of defense down to get inside. As the defense collapses, she kicks the ball out to the open man.
