Expert Analysis
Scott Hankamp | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Abney is, has been, and probably always will be, a human highlight reel. She makes scorekeepers run out of ink. Abney has been electric this season and should at least be in Miss Basketball conversations. She had another solid night last night against Owosso. Abney scored 17 points, grabbed 8 boards and had 5 steals.

Miss Video Game Numbers has been at it again. This collection of clips does a nice job showing her vast array of high level skills. Let’s start with the little things that are actually huge things. Abney is an effort and hustle player and we can see it in the film. She’s willing to hit the floor for a loose ball and chase down boards. Her ability to pull up and shoot is very impressive, she can start and stop on a dime and get her shot off, staying in perfect balance. Abney’s mid range game is special.

Abney is a name that should be on the list of nominees. She can simply dominate in all aspects of the game. In doing so, Abney has put up some jaw dropping numbers. She has controlled games as a scorer, rebounder and passer. That’s not even mentioning her ability to pick up more than a handful of steals and defensive stops.

I’ve always said with Abney, it’s like she puts up video game numbers. Sometimes they don’t even look realistic. In this film she broke the Brandon all-time scoring record. You can see her score from all over the floor and at all 3 levels. Abney buries triples, mid range jumpers, and even touch floaters. We even see her force turnovers and turn defense into offense.

Riley scored a career high 42 points on Tuesday. She buried 5 three pointers and forced key turnovers with her ball pressure as the spear in Brandon’s full court pressure. One of her key plays was working for an offensive rebound off of a free throw miss and then making both free throws to give Brandon the late lead.

Abney is a talented player that will be more than worth the price of admission. She’s just so explosive offensively, showing the ability to shoulder the scoring load even on a very talented team. Three words I’ve used to describe her performances: “Video game numbers”.

“Unquestioned leader of our team, she has that look in her eye. I see hunger, a chip on her shoulder to prove her status among the top players and build upon a strong junior season where she was all state. She is never satisfied, and works extremely hard to better herself constantly. She checks all the boxes: coachable, high IQ, 3 level scorer, great teammate, vision, and plays hard nosed defense. She is motivated more than ever. I look forward to her putting any doubts to rest. She will bring it every single time.” – Coach Rivers
