"To Peters Township coach Bert Kendall, Makenna Marisa is a dream player. To opponents, she is a matchup nightmare. The common denominator is that most would likely agree that Marisa is one of the WPIAL's best players.

A 5-foot-11 guard-forward, Marisa has had a terrific start to her junior season. She scored 29 points in a win against South Park in the season opener and the following night poured in 27 in a victory against West Allegheny to claim the Peters Township tournament title. Monday night against Trinity, Marisa scored 26 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in a 51-35 victory.

Marisa can play any spot on the floor and often does. She'll bring the ball up the court and run the point, something you don't often see from someone her size at the high school level. She's probably most comfortable at shooting guard and is a lights-out shooter she made eight 3-pointers those first two games. She'll likely play that position or small forward in college, but she's dangerous down low, too. Kendall said she had success posting up against West Allegheny.

"I think teams can try to game plan against her, but it's just hard because she has so many skills," Kendall said of Marisa, who averaged 16.5 points per game last season. "When you have that height and that speed, you can post up against smaller players and drive it past bigger players. She has all the tools that make our team go."

Basketball is big in the Marisa family. Marisa's twin sister, Morgan, is also on the team, although the two aren't identical. Makenna is even 4 inches taller. Their grandfather, Rudy Marisa, was a coaching great at Waynesburg University who won 565 games before retiring in 2003."

Got word from another source that Makenna Marisa is down to Penn St and Baylor. Word is she was amazed by Baylor. So will she stay home or will she ship out?

I am pretty active on other boards and one of the posters that is tied to the area let me know. As I hear more I will update you all!

Sarah Andrews on an unofficial visit!!

Deja Kelly opened her recruitment back up.

2020 Hailey Van lith was on campus this weekend for a unofficial visit.

She is the #2 ranked player in the Class of 2020, according to Prospects Nation. Waco is a long way from Cashmere, Washington, a small town in central Washington. Hailey Van Lith is a 5'9" Point Guard. Setshot has spoken very highly of her. For her to come that far for an unofficial visit means she has some level of interest in Baylor, maybe we will have a real shot at getting her.
