Jermyra Christian Jermyra Christian 5'6" | PG East Jessamine | 2023 State KY – (5’6/PG/2023) – Overtime Performance 2023-1 – Jermyra is an electric, scoring point guard. Playmaker on both ends that has a knack for finding the ball. Can explode with great acceleration and has quick hands — so a lethal combo. Good speed with the ball, allowing her to get by the defense and find the lane.
Lydia Betz Lydia Betz 5'10" | SF Forest Park | 2023 State IN – (5’10/PG-SF/2023) S.W.I.S.H. City 2023 Britton – Lydia is a left-handed prospect that can play the 1-4 positions and put the ball in the hoop. The definition of versatility both offensively and defensively, as she can guard the 5 spot as well. Has a soft shooting stroke that goes out to three.
Ella Campbell – (5’9/SG/2023) – AAO Flight 2023 – Ella was one of the best three-point shooters in the tournament. A smooth shot that extends well beyond three-point range and most likely had the best range out of anyone. Has a quick and confident release to her shot.
Brooke Smith – (5’11/PF/2023) – AAO Flight 2023 – Brooke can play all over the court and is highly versatile with her size and quick feet. She performed at a very high level and was quietly dominant, if that makes sense. Made plays frequently. Skilled enough with the ball to be able to handle the ball on her own in transition and make a move with it. Has a lethal mid-range extended jumper. She’s a very tough matchup with her playing strength inside, quick feet, and shooting ability. Can defend and pressure ball-handlers on the perimeter.
Second Team All-Tournament Team
Emiyah Cobb Emiyah Cobb 5'10" | CG Clarksville Northwest | 2023 State TN – (5’7/PG/2023) – Tennessee Sol 2023 Black – Emiyah is a talented scoring guard with good quickness and speed. An aggressive prospect that can put up points in a hurry. One of the most skilled prospects with the ball in the event. Ability to drop in floaters and knock down threes.
Aubrey Treadwell – (5’8/PG/2023) – AAO Flight 2023 – Aubrey is a point guard leader with some good size, quickness, and ability to run and control an offense. Plays the game at a fast-paced hurried style, but is very under control with the ball. Passes the ball quickly around the perimeter. Brings intense ball pressure and energy on defense.
Abbey Sanders – (5’8/SG/2023) – AAO Flight 2023 – Abbey was most likely an underrated and overlooked performer at the Music City Showdown. She can do everything you ask for from your shooting guard. She can shoot the three, get to the hoop, find open teammates, and runs the offense and takes care of the ball. Plays with a good amount of energy.
Jalyn Shelby Jalyn Shelby 5'11" | PF Evansville North | 2023 State IN – (5’11/SF/2023) – S.W.I.S.H. City 2023 Britton –
Jadie Hines – (6’3/C/2023) – AKYB Academy 2022 Elite
Honorable Mention
Brooke Ross – (5’11/PF/2023) – AAO Flight 2023 – The Brooke Smith and Brooke Ross duo was a formidable one. They seem to have similar playing styles as well. Coincidentally, both are listed at 5’11 too. Brooke Ross does some major damage from the mid-range area.
Ivy Johnson – (5’10/PF/2023) – AAO Flight 2022 –
