Maddy Tauro 2024
Maddy is undoubtedly one of the top freshmen players in the Marmonte League. For the Coyotes she has been their most consistent scorer, averaging 15.1ppg. In the 10 games she has played, she has already recorded a career-high 22 point game on 3/31/21 against Heritage Christian and also two 20 point games. She is a 5’7 combo guard who is very tough to stop once she starts driving downhill. She likes to get to the rim and can take the contact. She also has a solid pull-up jumper. Tauro is someone that will only get better.
Erin Topacio 2024
Erin is a freshman guard on this Coyotes roster. She is a 5’3 shooting guard who is also comfortable bringing the ball up from time to time. She started the season off pretty hot, hitting about 4 threes a game, but has gone through a little shooting slump. She is currently averaging 6.6ppg. Despite that, she still makes her presence known on the defensive end. She is often tasked with guarding the opposing teams’ top players. Once she starts knocking down shots, she will be a great all-around player for the Coyotes.
Lia Hendelman 2024
Lia is another freshman guard for the Coyotes. She is a 5’4 combo guard who can take over that point guard position. She looks comfortable handling the ball and tends to start the offensive sets for the Coyotes. Although she only averages about 4.6ppg, she can hit shots and finish well at the rim. She knows how to move without the ball and find open gaps. She also crashes on the offensive end. She recorded a career-high of 5 O-boards on 3/31/21 against Heritage Christian. On the defensive end, she is also tasked with guarding the opposing teams’ top players.
Khailand Anderson-Strawder 2023
Khailand progressively gets better each game she plays. She is a straight-up workhorse. She is a 5’9 forward who plays big. On the offensive end, she is starting to get more confident attacking her defenders and taking it to the hoop. She hustles for offensive boards and gives the Coyotes second and third chances. She has been averaging 10.4ppg and also 5.3rpg. On the defensive end, she guards the opponents’ fours and fives. She works hard to make scoring for her opponent a difficult task.
Amia Witt 2024
Amia has been making her presence known. She is a 6’0 forward who can play on the wing. I have been impressed with her shooting capabilities. Her height makes it difficult to contest her shot. So far, she is averaging 11.2ppg and also 8.2rpg. She recorded a career-high 29 points and 16 rebounds on 4/30/21 against Thousand Oaks High School. As she continues to get comfortable on the court and develop, she will be a very tough matchup.
