was forced to carry a large load offensively. Smith was versatile in her attack. Kennedy blended drives to the basket with her three-point shooting which stretched the floor against
Wood Elite
. Smith splashed three threes, hitting a pair off the bounce. When she wasn’t stripping the nets, Kennedy was getting downhill with her floater. She got good snap on her tear drops, expertly flicking her wrist over the top of contests. Overall, Smith is a highly skilled finisher. She scores with both hands and works angles well, kissing shots high off the glass to score inside. The long guard posted a game-high 17 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in defeat.

Kennedy has some really nice length to her frame and shot it well from deep all day long. She seemed to always be making plays and putting herself in the right place at the right time. Offensively, she snagged some rebounds, hit the mid-range shot, scored it with either hand inside, and could knock down the 3 ball. Her hustle and grit were fun to watch!

A strong case can be made that North Metro Elite 15U was the best of the teams that concluded the weekend with a 3-1 record. Smith’s winning play paid dividends left and right for her team. Another notable name from Mount Paran Christian, it appeared that Smith was coming through with clutch baskets left and right. Smith is a gifted 3-point shooter that can throw defenses off balance with her ability to slice through defenses and finish strong at the cup. Smith can get creative with how she does finish at the rim at times and can play either of the guard spots in the backcourt. She is a two-sport athlete who also excels in lacrosse.

Want to win? Smith is the one to go with. North Metro Elite 15U learned this in spades as it began Peach Games play with three wins and no losses. Smith’s performance was particularly key in the last game of the day when her team won a tough contest against Wood Elite 15U Select. While Smith can certainly make things happen from long range, she throws defenses for a loop with her ferocity in attacking the basket. Smith can get creative at times with how she does finish at the cup and maintains activity away from the ball as she will look to find spacing.

to get big minutes at Mt. Paran. Smith is a heady guard that shoots the three well. She is a wiry defender and a steady ball handler. Kennedy scores with both hands and is a stat sheet stuffer with her nose for the ball.

Kennedy can shoot all day long, against anyone, from anywhere! Outstanding muscle memory from three point land, with a hand in her face! This young lady is not phased by any pressure- she thrives on it, and wants the ball! Takes great care of the ball! #clutch

Kennedy was once again the best player on the court at LIVE! @ Lakepoint in her pool. Playing just 3 games – missing one due to a lower back contusion – Smith averaged 16 ppg and 3 steals per game. Her 17 points in the Friday night opener helped guide NME to a stunning 47-35 upset of UAA FBC United Young Gunz. With big events left on the calendar such as Run4Roses and Wargames, Smith looks to extend her great play against some of the nation’s best teams this summer!

Smith is a playmaker who just knows how to do everything well on the court. A player that can slash the defense apart with her quick handles. I can her the one-person fast break as it’s tough to trap her or stop her in the open court. If you take away the drive she has the ability to knock down the 3 ball. She had a game high 26 points on Saturday.

had one of the top scoring games on the day finishing with 26 points against a tough I Beat A.L.L team. Her ability to score at all 3 levels left her defenders wondering how to guard her. She has the speed to blow by her defenders and finish at the rim with either hand. Not afraid to pick up 94 ft to create turnovers.
