2021: Carolina Live

Prep Girls Hoops was in attendance last weekend at the Insider Exposure / Big Shots Event in Rock Hill, SC. Lets take a look at some girls from the Hoop State I was able to watch playing some Palmetto State teams. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-201362" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/9A54E311-4984-411C-9CBB-98550FEDDC11.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="201031" first="Jordan" last="Durant"] - Butler HS - FBC Carolinas Tate </strong> Durant penetrates-kicks to the open teammate on several occasions today. Durant has a really nice jump-shot and plays the game under-control at all times. Durant will push tempo in transition when observing the chance to do so. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-201363" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/A1FC809E-0602-4289-BE6E-E63770DD6AEB.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="201030" first="Ikaya" last="Nyomi Ndango"] - South Mecklenburg HS - FBC Carolinas Tate </strong> Ndango plays the game down on the block. Ndango rebounded the ball well on both ends of the floor was remaining active all throughout the game. Ndango can defend out on the perimeter and showed to have good footwork. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="201032" first="Darnisha" last="Farris"] - Carolina Prep Academy (Chapel Hill) - Team Free Money </strong> Farris a left-handed post player played the game with her back to the basket. Farris was able to draw contact and get to the foul line at a high rate. Farris has a nice touch on the foul line. Farris felt most comfortable playing in more of a half court set style of play. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-201351" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/CF6C296B-6C13-4193-84CF-E4549E0648EC.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="116881" first="Diamond" last="Thomas"] - Knightdale HS - Carolina Waves </strong> Thomas can really fill it up in a hurry while on the floor. Thomas is crafty and quite shifty with the ball in her hands. Thomas was able to score 35 points unofficially in the game I watched her play. Thomas did by attacking, shooting, creating havoc on defense and just total effort. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-201353" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/6068068D-0415-468C-8A9D-F2699FACE4D8.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="158300" first="Zoey" last="Ward"] - Ashbrook HS (Gastonia) - The SC 76ers </strong> Ward really came to play today for her squad. Ward was able to knockdown some three pointers and showed to have a nice shooting release. Ward has quick release and took high percentage shots in the game Prep Girls Hoops took in here from the event. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-201350" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/369E6B6E-4085-40D3-9604-11021B8C8DBE.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="201046" first="Jabria" last="Fullwood"] - Winston-Salem Christian - Lady Phoenix </strong> Fullwood arrived at Winston-Salem Christian this season after attending Greensboro Day. Fullwood has great footwork and is constantly moving while on the floor. Fullwood has a GREAT MOTOR and really likes to leak out in transition for cheapies. Fullwood is very vocal with her teammates and has great communication on the floor. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-201359" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/E0220053-9489-411A-9947-327431B169F4.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="201045" first="Maleigh" last="Hill"] - Winston-Salem Christian - Lady Phoenix </strong> Hill a point guard was able to use ball-screens to turn the corner to the basket. Hill a point guard was good off the dribble today while knocking down a few elbow jumpers. Hill penetrated the gaps into the paint all game long. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-205197" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/72BDAFA2-992D-4931-8BF9-AB2A9B2FA10B.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="201033" first="Braylyn" last="Milton"] - Independence HS - 1-Dream</strong> Milton is already committed to the University of Cincinnati for next season. Milton plays the game with a great court awareness and poise. Milton really gets her teammates involved and plays the game with a very unselfish attitude. &nbsp;
