Here is part three of the top returning players to lookout for in Harnett County during the 2020-21 season.
Lyanah Molyneaux (Harnett Central guard, 2021)
Molyneaux had a great junior season for Harnett Central and is a key reason why the Trojans were able to make the state playoffs. The rising senior had several games where she put up double figures and it certainly helps to have guards that can score in bunches. She’ll be an important player for Harnett Central during the 2020-21 season as they look to improve on their win total from last year.
Kaila Cooney (Triton guard, 2021)
Cooney is another one of the talented rising seniors in this county and it showed this past season at Triton. The Hawks guard averaged 10 points, six rebounds, three assists, and two steals per game for a team that won 12 games in 2019-20. She’s a knockdown shooter and can also get to the basket very well. Expect Cooney and her team to make a lot of noise next season and that could potentially lead to a state playoff appearance.
Janiah Gary-Cole (Overhills guard, 2021)
Gary-Cole averaged seven points, seven rebounds, and two steals per game last season for the Overhills Jaguars. The rising senior consistently takes and makes mid-range jumpshots and does well attacking the basket. She’ll be a big part of next seasons Overhills team as they look to make it back to the postseason after winning 12 games in 2019-20.
