provided offense and defense throughout the week. She’s a good shooter that can space the floor. Her on-ball defense sparks her offense. She’s super quick, able to force turnovers. In transition, Peterson is very tough to slow down. She’s lightning quick with the ball and a good athlete at the rim.

GA
– FBC Hoopstarz UAA – Sequoyah
The cerebral guard has a high floor at the next level. Her attacks are textbook with great footwork. She uses her length to bother opposing guards. Blatchford can fill up stat sheets with her rebounding and passing. Blatchford can shoot off the dribble and has a nice eurostep downhill.

All downhill, all the time. Immediately when Dudley catches the ball it’s a sprint to the rim. Her graceful long strides cover ground in a blink. Not many are quicker to the rim than Jordynn. Her length makes her an effective defender, especially at the top of the press. If the soccer star can develop an outside shot, she could skyrocket up recruiting boards.

brought to the table for the Cagers. The unsung hero was quick to every ball. While she may not have scored a ton, her impact was still felt on both ends. She was a good ball handler and a tough defender. Cline consistently made the extra pass that helped make the Cagers so efficient on offense.

GA
– FBC United – Westminster
The big guard got hot from the three-point line in the game I saw. Ogden has the size to shoot over top of defenders. She scores at all three levels. Ogden can methodically work her way to the paint and pull-up for short jumpers.
5-9 W La’Nya Foster – FBC Bouncenation 17U – Lovejoy
Charleston Southern offered Foster at the conclusion of the weekend. Foster has a nose for the ball and is wired to score. She was at her best when she could drive inside. Foster squares her shoulders when attacking baseline and can hurt teams with her mid-range game.

hit big shots down the stretch in a comeback win. The lefty is a very good shooter that is lights out when her feet are set. She can help handle the ball and break pressure. Once she beats her first defender, she’s a skilled finisher at the rim.

– FBC Legacy UAA – Luella
The versatile inside-out forward rebounded well and attacked off the dribble. Dyson can work the high post and hurt opponents with her shooting touch and quick first step. I’ve always loved her mixture of finesse and strength. Mid-Majors have piled on offers this July.
5-5 PG Ella Holbrook – North GA Magic ’23 – North Forsyth
Ella stood out at the guard position. She plays with a good feel, understanding when to look for her offense and when to set up others. Holbrook pushes the ball well in transition. She’s got a pull-up jumper and a three-point shot in her game.
