Emily Hege Emily Hege CG North Davidson | 2022 State NC | Lady Phoenix CBA United Rudd | 2022
Hege has been shooting lights out this July. She had five 3’s early in the second half of a game, and I feel like that has been the norm for her. She had a nice heads up play throwing the ball off of her opponent instead of taking a backcourt call. She scored driving to the basket with a nice floater as well showing her versatility as a scorer. She handles the ball effectively controlling the tempo of the game and knows how to read defenses to use them to her advantage.
Ryan Swilling Ryan Swilling 5'8" | CG Charlotte Christian | 2022 NC | FBC Carolina Elite Meadows | 2022
Swilling had a great last game of the tournament showing off her shooting from deep at just the right time. Her three point shooting brought her team back to life giving them a chance for victory. With time running out, there’s a reason her coach designed a play specifically to get her the ball to shoot her way to victory. She moves well without the ball finding the open areas of the court to show off her shot, and her defense was aggressive staying in the face of her opponents, especially on their press.
Mia Xerras Mia Xerras 5'6" | CG Myers Park | 2023 State NC | Lady Attack Elite | 2023
Xerras continues to show that she is one of the top shooters in NC. She is always ready to put up her shot no matter where she is on the court. She crashes the boards and boxes out her opponents to grab the rebound. When she is breaking a press, opponents seem to think they have stopped her, and she makes a move to get a pass by them like she does this in her sleep. She makes nice cuts without the ball looking for passes to put up her shot. Her quick reflexes on defense allow her to deflect passes.
Destanee Trammell | Lady Royals | 2023
Trammell (pictured above) has had a hot summer shooting dropping a 30 piece in a game at Insider Exposure Summer Slam. She does so much more than that, too, controlling the ball and tempo for her team. She moves well making sure to shift the defense to create a nice play with her passes to her teammates. After grabbing a steal, she showed off a nice fake on her way to the basket scoring two. She has a nice crossover where she certainly sells her move one direction throwing off her defender as she blows by them the other way. She even follows shots sneaking into the paint to grab some boards.
