Week 11 Eye Catchers Pt. 1

<strong>2024 5-8 CG [player_tooltip player_id="195978" first="Ava" last="Grace Watson"] – Buford</strong> The nimble young freshman excels at getting into the paint and drawing contact. She’s a smooth operator that can finish in a variety of ways and has a dangerous jump shot as well. She went 11-14 from the line against St. Francis and finished with 23 points and 4 steals. Watson plays with poise and can handle the ball against pressure. Ava Grace already holds an offer from Alabama. <strong>2022 5-9 W [player_tooltip player_id="238214" first="Tatum" last="Ozment"] – Buford</strong> Playing out of position as more of an interior forward, [player_tooltip player_id="238214" first="Tatum" last="Ozment"] was still effective. She scored 11 points, five buckets coming from the left block where she used her off-hand very well. She is an aggressive defender and is willing to take calculated risks to jump passing lanes in the press. <strong>2021 5-10 W Sara Viti – Buford</strong> A potential 3&amp;D recruit, Sara Viti is a physical wing that can play with a chip on her shoulder. She isn’t afraid to stick her nose into a crowd and move bodies to get loose balls. Viti has developed into a lethal three-point shooter that can knock down shots once her feet are set. Sara can use her size and strength to compete on the glass and frustrate opponents. <strong>2021 5-6 PG [player_tooltip player_id="148891" first="Ashyia" last="Willis"] – Buford</strong> Georgia College is getting a savvy playmaker in [player_tooltip player_id="148891" first="Ashyia" last="Willis"]. She is a veteran ball handler that knows how to weave through traffic and set up her teammates with tough passes in tight spaces. She does a good job of keeping her dribble alive and having her head up while probing the defense. Willis scored with both hands around the rim and hit her pull-up jumpers. Ashyia should be a very good table setter at the next level. <strong>2021 5-7 PG [player_tooltip player_id="118098" first="Mia" last="Moore"] – St. Francis</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="118098" first="Mia" last="Moore"] was in attack mode from the opening inbound. The Mississippi State-signee relentlessly assaulted the rim. She sliced and diced her way into the paint where she would finish with euro steps and floaters. Moore caused problems with her great speed and ability to split traps. She made St. Francis go. When she got downhill she could suck in defenders and dump off to posts for layups. Moore finished with 27 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal in the loss. <strong>2023 5-7 PG [player_tooltip player_id="213334" first="Erica" last="Moon"] – St. Francis</strong> While she wasn’t able to get into a consistent flow offensively, she did do a nice job of helping break Buford’s press. Her quickness and overall floor game lent to a productive output of 11 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. Much like [player_tooltip player_id="118098" first="Mia" last="Moore"], Moon was at her best when she was aggressive. Moon is capable of snapping off euro steps in traffic and can facilitate as well. Erica can burn teams from deep. Her athleticism helps her play bigger than her size on both the glass and defense.
