About Ella
Expert Analysis
Avi Burmenko | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Ella has been a major factor in Milton Academy securing the #5 seed in the Class A playoffs, bringing toughness and consistency every night. She battles relentlessly on the glass, boxing out with strength and refusing to give opponents second chances while also creating extra possessions on the offensive end. Ella is willing to sacrifice her body for loose balls and momentum plays. Offensively, she’s comfortable in the high post knocking down mid-range shots and can space the floor from the corners as a true stretch big.

Ella is front court player who is fun to watch. She impacts the game without the ball in her hands by communicating and using physicality in the paint. She rebounds well on both ends. Offensively, she converts rebounds into points and uses good positioning for efficient shots. She already has a couple of solid post moves, attacking either the middle or the baseline.

Ella is a top-five ranked big in Prep Girls Hoops’ New England rankings for good reason. A modern post player, she can step out and knock down shots from the perimeter while still protecting the paint defensively and limiting easy looks. Earlier this season against Deerfield Academy, she nearly posted a double-double with six points and ten rebounds, showcasing her all-around impact.

Higgins is key piece for Milton. She contributes greatly to the team’s chemistry and provides stable play on both sides of the ball. Ella isn’t a player that’ll take away from others either, plus she’ll run through walls for teammates. Higgins is ranked #67 in the class.

Ella was dominant on the glass. She rebounded the ball well on both ends of the floor. On offense outside of offensive rebounds and put backs, she got great position in the paint to finish for easy baskets including a nice hook shot.

A big that can play over her shoulder and finish plays with a high efficiency. She’s a natural force that doesn’t require the ball much to make a difference either. The defense she provides in the halfcourt is quite sturdy. Ella’s physicality in the paint helps prevent easy scoring. As Higgins develops more confidence that’ll help her start making more headway.

Ella has great tools that’ll find her success. Higgins can play in transition due to her knack for rim running after made or missed baskets and she thrives as the pace slows down in halfcourt play. Ella is flat-out one of the better rebounders in the class. Opponents have a tough time keeping her off the glass. Ella makes a living off putbacks and she provides an excellent safety net that’ll finish plays off.

A leader that establishes herself with deep paint touches and provides relief on both sides of the ball for teammates. Her paint presence makes the guards’ job easier, plus Ella is a relentless finisher, so initiators relish getting her the ball early. On defense she gives full effort and backs down for no challenge either.
