2023 6’6 Alex Covill (Northwest Blazers/ Missoula Hellgate MT High School): Covill is an elite rim protector and rebounder. At 6’6 she is able to block or alter opponents shots at the rim. Offensively, she is dominant in the post and has a nice midrange jumper.
2023 5’9 G Karlee White Karlee White 5'8" | SF Viewpoint HS | 2023 State CA (WhyNotPremier/ Viewpoint CA HS ): White is an elite shooter/defender. She showed her ability to shoot it from deep knocking down multiple 3’s against Northwest Blazers. She is also an aggressive defender and will pick up her match-up the length of the court.
2023 5’9 G Majesty Cade Majesty Cade 5'9" | CG Etiwanda | 2023 State CA (WhyNotPremier/Etiwanda CA HS): Cade is a strong/physical guard. I was impressed with her ability to finish through contact at the rim. She is not afraid of contact at the rim and uses her strength to finish through the contact. Cade also showed her ability to shoot it from deep this weekend.
2023 5’10 Wing Amaya Washington Amaya Washington 5'10" | SF Dream City Christian Prep | 2023 State AZ (AZ Elite Gold/Dream City Christian): Washington is an athletic wing player that can help her team in many ways. She is a good rebounder, passer and can knock down open threes. Her athleticism allows her to guard multiple positions. She is a very athletic and talented 2023 prospect.
2023 5’8 PG Sage Begay Sage Begay 5'8" | SG Flagstaff | 2023 State AZ (AZ Elite Gold/Flagstaff HS): Begay is a catch and shoot prospect. She can consistently knock down open threes as well as finish through contact in the lane. She is a knock down shooter in the class of 2023.
2023 5’4 G Ashiian Hunter Ashiian Hunter 5'5" | PG Mesa | 2023 State AZ (AZ Elite Gold/Mesa HS): Hunter was in control of the pace of play all weekend. She has great vision and will find her open teammates. Hunter likes to push the pace and often leaves her defenders in the dust when she has the ball in her hands. Hunter is lethal off the dribble and has showed her ability to knock down step-back threes or get to the rim.
2023 6’1 W/F Isabella Barret ( AZ Elite Black/ AZ Elite Prep): Barret has a solid all-around game. She can hit open threes, rebound well, and finish through contact in the lane.
