Kate Sears Kate Sears 5'9" | CG Watauga | 2025 State NC (FBC Carolina Elite Kent 2024 guard, Watauga)
Kate Sears Kate Sears 5'9" | CG Watauga | 2025 State NC was a tone setter on both ends of the floor for FBC Carolina Elite Kent in this Live Period showcase. She guarded the opposing teams best guards every game and forced several turnovers with great on-ball defense. Offensively, she rarely turned the ball over and created quality shots for herself and her teammates. The 5’8″ point guard should be a major contributor as she enters the high school ranks in western NC.
Breah Franks Breah Franks 6'3" | C J.L. Mann | 2025 State SC (FBC Carolina Elite Kent 2024 guard, J.L. Mann (SC))

Ashanti Fox (Carolina Flames 2023 EYBL, O’Neal School)

The 5’6″ point guard is an excellent ball handler and passer while also being a consistent threat from the outside. Fox plays with a lot of energy on both ends of the floor and her consistent play will make her a great point guard in the high school ranks.
