She looks to block shots on defense and is observant to her weak-side.
Tamara Harris-Webster, 5’9, F, 2022, Shawnee Mission Northwest
A quick wing player who has handles of a guard and the size and strength of a forward. She moves well off the ball and has a smooth jump shot with a great release. a clean shooter overall who can find her rhythm from distance and move inside and connect from the free throw line or play through contact. Also an intelligent defender who can pick off passes.
