These players and more will be participating in the Bill Moss Memorial Dayton Underclass All Star Game later in March. A complete roster of players who are playing is also listed below.
The Bill Moss Memorial Dayton Underclass Freshman All Star Game will feature several of the top 2023 in the region. It is the first of three games that evening, with the other two being 2021/22 combo games.
Taylor Farris Taylor Farris 5'8" | CG Oxford Talawanda | 2023 State OH , 5-7, Northeastern (IN)
This kid is a special one. The epitome of a great point guard, Taylor has the ability to score in all three phases of the game; perimeter, at the basket and in transition. Great handles and can distribute the ball to the right player. Smart basketball IQ, knows where to be without the ball and will get there. Plays above her years.
Abby Holtman Abby Holtman 5'11" | SF Ryle | 2023 State KY , 5-10, Ryle (KY)
She has stepped into a key role as a freshman and has been productive on a team that includes fellow 2020 guard Maddie Scherr Maddie Scherr 5'11" | CG Ryle | 2020 State KY . Hoping to make a big run in the post season, and Holtman can be a part of that. Runs the floor well in transition, can score with either hand at the rim, and finishes well. Good perimeter shot, moves well on defense and can create for her team.
Abbie Riddle Abbie Riddle 5'10" | CG Liberty Union | 2023 State OH , 5-10, Liberty Union (OH)
She has all the tools to be a legit next-level kid. Offensively she can score from all points on the floor, has great handles and controls the game. Very heady smart player with a major upside. Can score at the rim and will score in transition. Abbie causes havoc with her solid defense and is as athletic as they come.
Rylee Leonard Rylee Leonard 5'6" | CG Eastern Brown | 2023 State OH , 5-8, Eastern Brown (OH)
Very smart player who always knows where the ball should be. Sees the floor and find the open player very well for her age. Can create things from her defense, good lateral movement and solid on-ball defender. According to her AAU coach last season, Rylee is a terrific shooter from the perimeter.
Gabby Russell, 5-10, Tecumseh (OH)
Putting up solid numbers for a freshman on a team that has three prominent contributing freshman. Gabby is shooting over the preferred benchmarks in FG% (she is shooing 42%), 3-pt % (she is at 37%) and FT% (shooting 80%). He can score inside or out, also working to become a better defender. Hit 12 three’s in the past 5 games. Getting better every day.
