Good instincts defensive, knows how to position herself between the defender to get into loose balls, rebounds, and steals. Uptempo player in transition, where she accelerates on fastbreaks and finishes the play. Knows where to find her teammates and uses other faucets of her game to be a good facilitator.
Healy Bledsoe Healy Bledsoe 5'11" | SF Summit | 2021 State OR 2021 6’0″ PF Summit HS – Healy will contest you at the rim, with excellent timing and great verticality as she uses their athleticism and composure to get big time blocks.

Contributes to the game in a myriad of ways and is a stat sheet stuffer. One game versus sprague, she flirted with a quadruple double, finishing with 8 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 9 steals.
Liliana Overcash 2021 5’5″ SG Mountain View HS – Overcash is a competitor that always has her game face on, showing lots of grit and determination. Aggressive on ball defender as she is quicker than she seems, plays with a good pace. Her bread and butter offensively is her shot, which she lets go with lots of consistency and confidence. Working on her offensive game, but is an underrated ball-handler with good decision making skills.
