There’s not a shot she cannot make, anything from behind the arc, to making difficult shots in traffic. Great speed, and can turn on a second gear with the basketball! Has a high basketball IQ, with natural instincts. Ziel is explosive on both ends of the court. Remember her name. (Featured Photo, with basketball)
Emily Bratton Emily Bratton 5'7" | SG Bloom Carroll | 2024 State OH – 5’6, PG/SG, 2024, Bloom Carroll: It truly doesn’t matter if she is being guarded by the best defender, or in many cases, double teamed- Emily just finds a way to score, or set up a beautiful pass to a teammate to capitalize. Incredible leader on the floor, confident, never lets up defensively, and her handles are some of the best I’ve seen.
Ava Collins- 5’6, SG, 2024, Dublin Coffman: (below, shooting) I’ve had the opportunity to watch Collins grow a lot as a player over the last year, and her shooting just continues to be impressive. When she gets hot from behind the arc, watch out! Once she finds a rhythm, she can shoot with the best of them. Doesn’t force shots, looks for her teammates, and makes the extra pass.
Ellie Vaccari- 5’6, PG/SG, 2022, Dublin Coffman: Every team needs to have an Ellie! She is 100% all about doing whatever it takes to help her team succeed. If the team needs outside shooting, she is solid behind the arc. If the team needs some big time stops on the defensive end, Vaccari is steps up. She’s a fundamentally solid guard, with a strong motor, quick feet, coachable, and not afraid to make big plays!
Zoey King- 5’8, C/SG, 2022, Central Crossing: King impressed me with how she cleans up inside the paint. She can put up points fast just from taking care of anything near the basket. Her hands are like magnets- she finds a way to get the basketball! Opponents have a hard task in boxing her out. Uses the glass well, rebounds well!
