Raquel demonstrated athleticism and toughness that put her on a higher level at our Freshman Showcase with team 3. Raquel pursued the ball sideline to sideline and put her body on the line to make plays for her team. She viciously swatted shots in the paint and elevated way up for rebounds, putbacks, and block attempts in transition. On one play she jumped so high attempting a block that I seriously thought she hit her head on the bottom of the backboard. Raquel was relentless on the offensive boards, blew by defenders to score layups, and converted shots off two in the paint. She will be an elite forward to watch at the high school level with Reeths-Puffer this winter.
