Tonight, I came away really impressed with Lillian Clark (2029, 5'9 G) and Ellie Wheeler (2027, 5'5 G) for Westfield.
Clark has gotten much smoother over the last year. She's added strength and goes about her business quietly. She was quiet for part of the night, but opened it up in the third quarter knocking down four 3-pointers. She brings so much attention for herself offensively and sees the floor allowing her to hit open teammates for easy shots. I think she's got a fairly high ceiling as she continues to improve each time I've seen her over the past 18 months.
Wheeler is a tough guard who played with the most energy of anyone tonight. She is a scrappy guard who sees the floor well and can push the ball up the floor. She isn't afraid of getting into the paint to make plays and will attack the glass. I thought she set the tone quickly on the offensive end of the floor and never let up on the defensive end of the floor.

Ellie Shupe is one of the best players in Southwest, VA regardless of graduation year. 🥶 #Different@ShupeEllie
