Sippola has all the intangibles of a next level guard. Her ability to move without the basketball and score at will makes her unstoppable at times. A player that handles the ball well and knows how to read the defense. She made some unbelievable shots with a hand in her face. Her signature move is the one dribble pull up in transition which catches the defense off guard. A 2 way player that never seems to get tired.

scorched the nets in an all-time performance. Sippola netted seven threes in the first half without missing and ended up with nine long balls in NME’s tough 54-47 loss to Wood Elite. Marina finished with 27 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals. She loved to stop and pop in transition and used a rhythm dribble to side step and get comfortable before launching. Marina really liked to take a quick dribble to her left and sometimes even when she looked a bit off balance, Sippola was in complete control and honed in on the rim with a quick trigger.

A breakout high school season is around the corner for Marina. While she might not catch your eye walking off the bus, Sippola has a polished game and deceptive length. She’s good at poking away passes and can score from all three levels.

Sippola served as a super sub throughout the season last year for North Paulding. Marina is a well-rounded guard, quietly one of the better players in the state. She does a ton well. She’s a steady three-level scorer, she can handle the ball and Marina is a sneaky good defender that earns multiple deflections each game. She has gotten off to a strong start this offseason with NME, starring as one of the team’s most consistent top scorers.

Up from No. 87: Marina has a very fundamentally sound game. She plays extremely hard and is very well-rounded as a player. Sippola is a good shooter both off the catch and off the dribble, utilizing a sharp mid-range pull-up. Marina has enough creativity to get downhill and finish in traffic. She provides effort defensively, quick to jump passes. Sippola is efficient in transition and makes good decisions.

firmly entrenched herself as a stock riser and go-to perimeter player for the Wolfpack. The polished guard averaged 9.3 points and 2.4 steals per game. Marina hit 9 threes over seven games and did damage from all three levels. She impressed with her off the dribble game, able to get to her spots and hurt defenses from the mid-range.
