Ward’s defense is what stands out to me most. She does a great job keeping her opponents in front of her blocking their path to the basket, and she jumps into passing lanes making it difficult for other guards to get a play going. She turns this defense into offense with her speed as it is certainly an asset on both ends of the court. She pushes it up the court blowing by her opponents on her way to the basket with ease.

Even at a young age, White knows how to push the ball up the court keeping up with older competition. She knows the importance of timing her passes perfectly when running on fast breaks, or she can certainly take the ball all the way to the basket. She does a great job tracking the ball on defense jumping into passing lanes and even blocking shots.
Léa Boyens Léa Boyens 5'8" | CG Hickory | 2025 State NC | Hickory | CG
Boyens (pictured above) shows off her IQ every time she steps on the court. She anticipates passes on defense, and she knows exactly what to do with the ball to score. She runs the floor well getting open in transition, or she shows patience when letting a play develop to make her move and score. She is an excellent shooter finding the openings on the court, and her quick release makes it difficult for players to try to block her shot.
Sophia Zoerb Sophia Zoerb 5'10" | SG Hough | 2025 NC | Hough | SG
Zoerb finds ways to score from anywhere on the court. She has a nice jump shot, and she can even show off some post moves to score close to the basket. She doesn’t shy away from contact underneath the basket either. She knows how to use ball moves when creating space from her opponents, and she moves well without the ball to find the open areas on the court.
