It’s always helpful to go back through and scan my notes looking for info about a player or a trend from the event. Let’s take a look at some of my notes from the Hankamp Hoops Open Run on Sunday in Elkhart, Indiana.
Savannah Boerema Savannah Boerema 5'7" | CG Northridge | 2023 State IN (2025, Northridge)
– Impact on both ends (nice touch on passes – especially post entry on right side; anticipating and jumping passing lanes on defense)
– Pretty dribble drive – changed dribble hands as the defender adjusted, which kept them off balance and slick finish for 2
Event Trend: Just like at the PGH Michigan Top 250 last week – ALOT OF REALLY GOOD PASSING AND UNSELFISH BASKETBALL – Every player willing to make the extra pass
Kaylee Glidden Kaylee Glidden 5'9" | SG Pennfield | 2023 State MI (2023, Pennfield)
– Really slick finisher, showing excellent body control and balance
– Ball hawking on D, just picked up steal
– Good passing today with + assists, I’ve liked her attacking off wing so adds another element
– Sold defender on pump fake, back up for 2
– Offensive glass! Gaining possessions for team!
Olivia Oman Olivia Oman 5'9" | SF Lakeland | 2024 IN (2024, Northwood)
– Like her upside with physical skills – can shrug off contact on both ends of the floor
– REALLY impressed with her strength – knows how to use it on D – can move her assignment without picking up chep fouls
– Good handles on the wing
Kristlynn Minor (2024, Penn)
– Fearless with the ball, willing to penetrate through traffic and gets it done by splitting defenders
– Tough finisher in traffic (stays focused on rim and powers through)
– Athletic score in lane – finished it off with a pretty spin move
– Crisp kick pass in transition!
Event Trend: A lot of versatility here. A lot of players making an influence in multiple ways and from different spots on the floor!
Dominique Stilley Dominique Stilley 6'0" | PF Concord | 2024 IN (2024, Concord)
– Relentless defender – locked in – played good vertical D picking up a blocked shot
– Working the offensive glass and being bouncy under rim – Deserved that pout back bucket!
– Really like her potential / upside as a 2 way player – skills are there
Justyce Williams Justyce Williams 5'8" | CG Jimtown | 2024 State IN (2024, Jimtown)
– Looking up the floor for teammate in transition – pushing pace with pass
– Tough defender to beat 1 on 1 – Good feet and keeps a wide base – bottles them up
– Really comfortable in a fast paced game – still plays under control
