The South Paw had an impressive first day at the Showcase. In the first game she finished with 12 points, with 2 three pointers made. She is a crafty guard, who can shoot the three well, and also handle the ball, and finish at the rim. Maddy made a corner three pointer, and one from the top of the key. She also had some good cuts off the ball leading to layups. On defense Maddy was hard working and did a good job pressuring ball handlers

Gwen had a great first day at the Showcase. She is a point guard with good handles and a quick first step. She shot the ball well from three point range, and made multiple threes. She also had a nice fast break layup on the left side. She has a super quick shot release. She can get her shot off in a flash. While she has the ability to score, she is pass first with excellent court vision. She shows that she likes to get her teammates involved. She had energy cheering on her team, and good body language, showing she is a good teammate. That is something coaches take notice of. I’m looking forward to seeing what Gwen does in the rest of the Showcase.
Clink the below to see some of her highlights from the day.

It was great to see Carolyn back on the court playing, after being sidelined for a year with a knee injury. Today she looked like she picked up where she left off. With knee injuries you worry about having the same explosiveness, but today it looked like she was able move around well. She is a guard, who is strong built, can handle the ball, and can run the offense. She is a hustler, and a good passer. She is good dribbling out of pressure, and not turning the ball over. She can score in multiple ways, and will keep growing her stock, and she is back healthy.

Claudia had a standout day today at the Showcase. I saw her first game she played today. She is a big built, with length. She has a versatile skill set, and moves well. She can run the floor and finish through contact. She made some very tough finishes in the lane, including a tough floater over 2 defenders. She also made a nice and 1 finish. She can play on the wing and stretch the floor. I also saw her make a few nice entry passes to the post. She was a hustler, and multiple times dove on the floor for a loose ball. I really like Claudias game, and think she will do well at the college level.
