You have to like the size and shooting stroke of Raleigh Bartron of CR – Xavier High School. Barton is a 5’9 SG with length for her size. She has a sweet shooting stroke from deep on offense but at the same time, she can put the rock on the ground and get all the way to the hoop whenever she is overplayed on her jumper. Barton has been steadily progressing over the past calendar year. She has demonstrated that she can handle more and more responsibility as she gets older and that’s how it should be. She can also handle the ball when pressured, she gets her hands on a lot of tips on defense that lead to deflections, and she never gives up on a possession until the whistle blows. These are intangibles that you love to see out of someone at this level. If she keeps working hard like this, she is going to continue to get better and that could lead to some special seasons ahead at CR – Xavier before you know it.

There were brief moments this season when we had a chance to see Raleigh Barton Raleigh Barton 5'9" | SG Xavier | 2029 IA of Xavier on the floor with her respective team but I have a feeling that she is going to be a solid producer moving forward. She would be categorized as a coordinated Guard, who can play off the ball and still produce at a steady rate with her decision making and movement. During AAU she will be on the road with Missouri Phenom’s 15U team and they are going to have some killers. Some players that recieved meaningful Varsity minutes as Freshman so as long as all of those individuals can jive together, they should see a lot of success in the near future.
