Continue ReadingA dynamic Point Guard with high level playmaking skills, Henigan is among the best in the state at her position, regardless of Class. She is a quick and shifty ball-handler with tremendous court vision and passing abilities to set her teammates up for easy buckets. Ariella is a proven three-level scorer who can create her own shot regularly and gives great minutes on the defensive end with her consistent effort and toughness.
Powers is a strong and powerful Forward who uses her athleticism and mobility to play and defend multiple positions. She has great awareness in the lane and understands how to win position against opponents so that her teammates can get her the ball before finishing strong at the hoop. Jarius has an impressive combination of physicality and control for a sophomore and gives some versatility with her ability to knock down shots and defend on the perimeter.
A high-IQ Point Guard with exceptional on-court leadership skills, Mazza makes everybody around her better. She is a reliable ball-handler who constantly scans the floor for a play to be made and often makes sound decisions with few turnovers. Aria is a knock-down shooter from beyond the three-point line and keeps defenders off balance with her quick change of direction and ability to make shots off the dribble.
Highlights
Abdul is an incredibly skilled Guard who can play on or off-ball with her ability to score efficiently from every level, while also showing she can lead the offense and make plays in the open floor. She can play at any pace and controls the tempo of the game with her set of skills on the offensive end. Sara is a lights-out shooter from anywhere on the court and uses her quickness to maneuver around defenders and find openings to score near the basket.
A versatile Shooting Guard who can play any of the Guard positions with her skill set and high-IQ, Leyden is a tough matchup for most players at the high school level. She is a talented shooter who can take defenders off the dribble from the perimeter or score in transition with her willingness to run the floor consistently. When matched-up with smaller players, Caitlin also has the ability to step down to the low block and score with her physicality and strong finishes.
