Continue ReadingThe last weekend of May finally saw Missouri Insanity travel to Wichita to take part in the Get Back on the Court tournament put on by Wichita Mid America Youth Basketball (MAYB). They were among the sell-out field of 94 boys and girls teams of all levels to play. There were two sections of high school girls action, 11th-12th grade girls and 9th-10th grade girls. This Missouri Insanity squad competed in the latter division, providing me with the opportunity to share some comments about each player.
Hope Schatz, 5’5″, PG, Republic, 2023 — Schatz is a slightly built guard who has some ability to abuse defenders with her passing. Likes the top of the key three off the catch.
Bella Harter, 5’9″, SF, Billings, 2023 — Harter was solid defensively. Long limbed, she also showed shot blocking ability.
Carolina Crawford, 5’2″, CG, Willard, 2023 — Crawford showed strong handles, quick hands, and athletic basket attack ability.
Allison Jones, 5’8″, SG, Nixa, 2023 — Against bigger teams Jones often was found competing inside while giving up several inches and a great deal of size. She runs well, is a strong mid-range shooter, and is serious threat to jump passing lanes and take it end-to-end.
Toriana Goodman, 5’4″, SG, Republic, 2023 — Goodman has a solid build but not quite the quickness to defend on the perimeters. She runs well and is a three point threat including off the step-back.
Kaylin Washington, 5’5″, G/F, Willard, 2023 — With quick hands and speed with the ball, Washington is a good distributor. She also elevates well.
Libby Lakey, PG, 5’3″, Dadeville, 2023 — Lakey showed good hands and transition speed on both ends. Good court vision when looking ahead off the turnover or outlet.
