About Maria
Expert Analysis
Jim Dabbelt | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
The thing that draws her attention is how much of a competitor she is. She loves to win, which brings out her best. Their high school team made a deep run through the tournament this year and she put up some big numbers in those games. The big stage brings out the better players! Maria has a very good three-point shot, she is slashy with good handles and is a solid defender. Poised, does the little things and she jumps inside the top 50.

Love Maria’s offensive game, she’s scoring at an 18 point per game pace with almost 9 rebounds. She moves well without the ball, mentally strong on the court and she’s a good leader. Super excited as her game just continues to grow and she looks to lead Cedarville on a nice run.

Maria may be nestled in at a very small school, but her game is getting bigger and bigger. She’s one of the top players in her league as a sophomore and is very smooth and slick with the ball. Plays with no fear, not afraid to take it into the paint and also has excellent court vision able to distribute. I really like this kids’ game. I think she’s going to continue to grow with her work ethic.

Her game is just beginning to elevate to a very high level. She had an outstanding freshman season, but the key will be the progress heading into her second year. I look for her game to continue to shine and grow, as she can score from all three levels and is strong at the rim. Very athletic and runs the break well.

I watched Maria back in August, and she impressed me with ability to score in the paint, particularly on the block. Terrific footwork, and she can play, defend, and score from any spot! Combine all of these qualities with athleticism and light feet, and that equals a headache for opposing teams!

Christian glides with the rock while going to the rim! She plays longer than her actual height of 5’7 because of her mobility and speed! Pretty moves on the block! She’s one that can play in multiple positions. Active rebounder, makes the right choices on transition!

She came alive in the second half taking the initiative to attack the basket, has nice moves around the rim off the drive. I like her ability to not let her defenders cut off her driving lane, makes her able to finish however she wants around the rim.

A very talented multi combo guard who can handle the ball well with or without pressure, push the ball in transition and get to the rack for two points. She has the length and strength to score through multiple of defenders and guard the best opponent on the opposing team. She has good help side defense along with seeing the ball and her defender, she does a good job at stopping the ball on fastbreaks and stopping her defenders going to the rim. High IQ for the game and has a lot of skills she brings onto the court.
