Kaylee Carson Kaylee Carson 5'8" | PG Independence | 2024 State NC | Independence
Carson is a guard who can do a little bit of everything on the court. She blows by defenders scoring buckets before they can run back on defense. She can shoot from behind the three point line. Her vision of the court is already top level as she can find her open teammates with a pass, and she anticipates passes on defense in order to grab some steals. She knew exactly where to move on the court for her to get a pass and find a way to contribute.

Walker finds ways to contribute as soon as she steps on the court. She is a tenacious defender making sure even the best players on the opposing teams are not finding ways to score. Her ability to shift what she is doing exposing opponents’ weaknesses is certainly an asset on the court. She can set up offenses when handling the ball, and she is a scorer herself finding various ways to put the ball through the hoop.
Ashlee Shaw Ashlee Shaw 5'10" | CG West Cabarrus | 2024 NC | West Cabarrus
Shaw already has a high IQ knowing exactly where she is needed on the court. She moves well handing the ball, and she knows where to cut to receive the pass in order for her to score. She is a three level scorer showing off her shot from all over the court. On defense, she is aggressive jumping into passing lanes and going after rebounds. Opponents have trouble keeping up with her on the court.
Taylor Suarez Taylor Suarez 5'5" | CG Charlotte Christian | 2024 NC | Charlotte Christian
“Suarez with the steal” would be a common thing you’d hear from an announcer when watching her play. She grabs passes when they are on their way to another player, or she can pick the pocket of someone trying to get by her. These steals quickly turn into fast break opportunities as she pushes the ball up the court with speed. Scoring in transition isn’t her only skill, though, as she score from behind the arc, too.
Maya McCorkle Maya McCorkle 5'9" | CG Cannon | 2025 State NC | Cannon
McCorkle seems to be used to playing with older teammates and certainly holding her own with them. She is an excellent ball handler controlling the tempo for her team finding amazing ways to blow by her opponents. She knows how to find the gaps in the defense making passes to get her teammates involved. Her vision of the court translates well to the defensive side of the game where she can cause problems for opponents.
