Cassidy Geddes: The 5’7 guard from Newtown-Conover high school was another key player to the co-state champs successful season last season. As a freshman point guard averaging nearly 8 points and 4 assists, she left a stamp on her freshman season. She can score it in a variety of ways including being a consistent 3 point shooter (30% on the season), fast breaks, and she gets downhill quickly. She is smart on defense, she shoots the gaps, anticipates what is about to happen, and can really make plays happen for her team. She has a lot of potential moving forward. She plays AAU for the I-40 Elite organization.
Jade Taylor: The 5’8 forward from Lake Norman Charter put a stamp on her freshman season. She is a tough player who averaged right at 7 points, and grabbed 8 rebounds! She had 4 double-doubles on the season, and then had 4 more games where she had double-digit rebounds. She had a career best 22 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 steals in a late season close win. She is long and athletic, plays hard, and is a coachable player. If she develops more of a consistent mid-range game, and extend it to 3 point land, she will have no problem landing a college home.
Kailyn Kilpatrick: The 5’9 guard from Lake Norman Charter is another great piece to this program. She averaged right around 7 points and 4 rebounds per game this last season. She is a bigger, athletic guard, who can do a lot for her team. She shoots the 3 ball pretty well at 29% on the season, she gets into the paint easy, and has a decent mid-range game. Defensively she is long and active. She can guard on the perimeter and makes plays for her and her team. She is another high potential player moving forward.
Ginny Overbay: The 5’11 power forward from East Lincoln high school brings a lot to her team. At 6 points and rebounds per game, she is a hard worker. She had 3 games where she had 10+ rebounds, including a game where she was having an off scoring night so she made sure to be a presence on the boards. She needs to learn to play without fouling, which comes with time and playing more, that was where she struggled the most this last season. Overall she is an athletic player with a high ceiling.
