Key Strengths to Watch:
Jenna Shackleford: Strong, athletic, versatile player who can shoot deep anywhere on the court, demonstrates confident post moves that are difficult to defend. Plays physical defense, and can alter opponent’s shots with her length. Very bright future!
Mady Stottsberry: Scrappy and very active defensive player, with solid handles. Does well in transition, can shoot the ball very well from deep, strong finisher around the basket. Never looks tired!
Peyton Lunsford Peyton Lunsford 5'7" | CG Newark | 2021 OH : Excellent outside shooter, she’s money from the 3! Sees the open spots on the floor, defense better not leave her open for a second. Great dribble penetrator and finisher/ passer, quick guard!
Emma Shumate Emma Shumate 6'1" | SG Newark | 2021 State #90 Nation OH : This girl has the whole package- she can shoot anywhere on the court, behind the arc, can go between multiple defenders and finish strong at the basket. So athletic, and long frame is a nightmare for opponents. High basketball IQ and leader, recently verbally committed to West Virginia.
Ally Carr: Quick point guard with strong handles, can run the floor well, great passing ability and able to see the open teammate. Can knock down the 3’s.
Maddie Vejsicky: Long, athletic player with a beautiful outside shot. Defensively, her length, size, and quickness are all ingredients for disaster against opponents. Strong handles, high basketball IQ who sees the floor so very well! She dishes the ball so well to her teammates.
Gwendolyn Stare: Smooth player, athletic, can shoot pretty much anywhere on the court. Can hit the 3’s all day, solid with ability to drive to the basket and finish. Smart player, no hesitation with decision making. Excellent court vision, passes are spot on. Fun to watch!
Gabbie Pastorius: Has a high basketball IQ, and can hit the outside shots consistently
Abby Derwacter: Such a gentle touch when she shoots inside, and with her size, she can rebound and block shots with ease. Does great job with locating open guard for jumper. Runs the floor well.
Syncere Royster: Strong player who dominates the paint! Uses the backboard well, with nice drop step moves to the basket. Rebounds the ball and definitely not afraid to play physical. Hard worker!
