Laura McCoy – Class of 2023 – Labrae
Laura McCoy is a super-smooth combo-guard from the Youngstown area. She can score in bunches in a hurry – as a rim-attacker or a shooter from all 3 levels. She is fast and gets up and down the floor quickly in transition. Laura has great handles and is at her best when she is getting the ball in volume as a shot-seeker.
Tristan Nash Tristan Nash 5'7" | CG Doylestown Chippewa | 2023 OH – Class of 2023 – Chippewa
Nash has a lot of potential as a lead-guard. At times she dribbles too much, but she is definitely capable of making plays off of the bounce. She finishes at the rim with a variety of floaters and runners and has a pretty 3-point jump shot. Tristan can defend on the perimeter at an above-average level, as well.
Kylie Leibacher Kylie Leibacher 5'11" | SF Castalia Margaretta | 2023 State OH – Class of 2023 – Margaretta
Everyone in Ohio knows about Leibacher by this point. She did nothing to hurt her stock at the Summer Showcase. Kylie’s blend of skill and size, plus a never-ending motor – makes her a nearly-impossible cover for players her age. She flashed 3-point potential, as well – knocking down some shots from beyond the line.
Lyvia Davis – Class of 2023 – Clear Fork
Davis was especially fun to watch, because she played so hard throughout the entirety of the day. One of the quickest kids in the entire event – Davis is a blur with the ball in her hands, explosive off of the bounce attacking the rim. She is also a bundle of energy on the defensive end pressuring the ball and playing passing lanes – creating a number of turnovers for her team.
Ella McMillen Ella McMillen 5'9" | SF West Holmes | 2023 State OH – Class of 2023 – West Holmes
Ella is a big and strong wing player who does so many things right to help her team find success. She rebounds, defends, creates scoring opportunities for her teammates, runs hard on both ends of the floor, communicates and sets good screens. Right now if there is something she can work on – it is the consistency on her perimeter jumper, but with Ella’s athleticism, it’s easy to see how that could be the next thing that she adds to her game.
