Younger sister Ellie plays like big sis. Her aggressiveness and confidence really caught my attention during her AAU season with MBSA Hoyas . That’s going to translate immediately to the high school level at Durand. She was all over the place making plays during the Au Sable Shootout. Ellie chased down offensive rebounds and took a defensive rebound coast-to-coast, switching hands to elude defenders on her way to the rim. Ellie doesn’t quit on a play, shoots the three, creates steals with her aggressive perimeter defense, and dishes out passes on a rope for assists. She’s an incoming freshman ready to make a big splash.

Ellie, a guard for MBSA Hoyas , made a strong impression while playing up a division at the MI College Tour Northwood. She was active on the defensive end, coming away with steals and disrupting ball handlers with her quick hands. Offensively, Ellie showed her ability to stretch the floor by knocking down shots from deep, while also making smart plays off the dribble, including a well-timed drive and dish to her post player. Competing against older talent didn’t faze her, as she put together an impressive all-around performance.
