Ashley has recently verballed to D1 Radford University.

Her size and strength allows her to be able to defend a guard or post, making her hard to guard and match up with on the offensive end. Moves well without the ball and very effective in crashing the boards. Keep working on developing an outside shot and attacking the basket to become a threat on the offensive end.
Kaitlyn McCrary, 5-6 Northmont- Kaitlyn displays all the great qualities of a point guard at the next level. She is quick, handles the ball well, and shows great craft with her moves and passes. Her speed allows her to be quick on the defensive end, as well as locking down an opponent at the top of the key. Keep developing and working on the outside shot.
Hope Fetherolf, 5-11 Madison Plains- She is a post player that has the ability to be utilized while running the floor and keeping up with transition. Good power on the inside offensively and defensively when rebounding. Continue working on getting strong with the ball.
