Expert Analysis
Brandyn Newbins | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Sophia continued to show why she is such a difficult matchup with the pieces surrounding her on the floor. Her skill set allows her to dominate on the low block and in the high post and with teams unable to help off other players she founds herself in one-on-one situations. She also applied pressure in transition by grabbing rebounds and pushing the ball herself, whether she was taking it coast-to-coast or finding open shooters on the perimeter.

Sophia is a monster on the glass going to get what she wants and turning many of those rebounds into second-chance points. On the defensive end she moves opposing post players out of position with clean, physical box-outs. That effort allows her to secure the ball and give her team control of the possession.
