The event will feature top scorers on Breden, Winkeler, Emily Reinneck, Bonaldi, Hall, Weems and Peltes. In addition there are excellent defenders/athletes in Abagail Reinneck, Manns, Lampe and Best. Bell and Khoury are both young true post players that have huge upside. Tyus, and Gordon are true point guards that run their team very effectively.
In addition there is an abundance of young talent filling a role on their current team. These girls are likely to bust out over the next few years and show their upside. That list includes Powell and Albers, along with many others that may not see action. These teams are here because they have good programs, so there is always more talent waiting for their turn.
