Abby Lundquist, a 5’7 guard, is scoring at a high level this year and her game is being overlooked just a bit. Lundquist has no offers yet, but soon some will be on the way.
Rocelle Township is young so Lundquist is relied upon to carry a lot of the scoring load for her team. Because the team is so young, Lundquist is able to be a leader that the team needs. She thrives being a leader and loves to challenge herself to make herself and others around her better. Lundquist is working on a few certain things right now in order to make herself better on the floor.
“This season I have definitely been working on being able to handle physical defense with face guarding or a box and one,” Lundquist said. “To extend off of that, I am working on my quickness and change of speed to get open space.”
She has a pretty solid list of teams who are showing her interest but none have pulled the trigger on an offer yet. She has been on a few visits so far, but nothing serious. Lundquist tells me that she is going to look to go one some more serious ones soon. William Penn is on her list of schools to visit among some others.
Like I mentioned earlier, Rochelle Township is a very young team and Lundquist says that she wants to win a little bit more. She understands that it’s a process with a young team and is working to expand her knowledge to those younger.
“We have a very, very young team this year,” Lundquist said. “We do not have as many wins under our belt as I would have liked but I am definitely learning a lot about being a leader. This season I have definitely focused on trying to teach the younger girls all the knowledge I have about basketball.”
This season she is averaging 24 points a game and seven rebounds. Lundquist can handle the ball really well and is able to push it up the floor. Finishes at the rim pretty well and can shoot it from the outside. Solid ball handler who can score with either hand. Heady defensive player who gets steals when the offense least expects it.
With a couple schools interested, Lundquist should be able to find a suitor sooner than later. She is a good guard who just outworks her competition. With her work ethic, a college coach will be very happy to have her.
