2023 Holiday SZN Showcase 

Ellie was the definition of energy and leadership. She was often heard being vocal on both sides of the ball and providing leadership for her teammates throughout the event. Also, whether she was off the ball or playing with the ball in her hands, she was in constant motion and always scanning for ways to put pressure on defenders. She showed that she was a 3-level scorer and could hit the outside shot with regularity as well as use her upper body strength to absorb contact and still finish the tough shots. Even with high amounts of contact or multiple defenders around her, she showed she could finish the shot. Her area of opportunity would be to look for her own shot more often. At times, because she is looking to put her teammates in high percentage scoring situations, she passed up what could be good scoring options for herself. 

Fall Exclusive 2023

Eleanor was one of the best rebounding guards seen at the entire event and got her team multiple second chance opportunities and looks at the basket. She showed she could get downhill quick with the ball in her hands and put a lot of pressure on defenders to try and stay in front of her. She seemed to stay glued to her matchup and never gave them a glimpse of space. She is also a great vocal leader who you can hear out on the court talking to her teammates or talking a on defense. Her area of opportunity would be continuing to work on her defense in terms of staying straight up if she is defending around the basket or on jump shots. At times she would break the plane of verticality. Her speed and strength make her a great defender so just working on not bailing out the opponent make her even more difficult to play against.
