Imani Williams Imani Williams 5'6" | PG Dreher | 2022 State SC – Dreher HS
Imani picked up a few offers this summer with her play with the Lady Blue Devils and A’ja Wilson Elite – Dickerson. Williams a left-handed guard plays the game always under control.

Kristynn Knight Kristynn Knight 5'6" | PG Winston Salem Christian | 2022 State NC – Cardinal Newman

Jakaiya Mack Jakaiya Mack 5'9" | PG JL Mann | 2022 State SC – JL Mann HS

Daja Taylor Daja Taylor 5'5" | PG Newberry Academy | 2022 State SC – Newberry Academy
Taylor a multi sport athlete helped Newberry Academy win a SCISA Class 1A State Championship last year. Taylor helped the Lady Eagles to a perfect season (25-0) after she dropped 32 points in the State Championship Game last season vs Patrick Henry Academy.

Taylor has scored over 1,700 points in her high school career.
Adiyah Owens Adiyah Owens 5'6" | PG High Point Academy | 2022 State SC – High Point Academy (Spartanburg)
Adiyah is one of the lone seniors on this Grizzlies roster. The Grizzlies won the Class 1A State Championship just 2 seasons ago. Prep Girls Hoops didn’t see Owens anywhere this summer on the Grassroots Circuit. Can she lead this team back to state this season ?
Najah Lane Najah Lane 5'6" | PG South Pointe | 2022 State SC – South Pointe HS (Rock Hill)
Lane describes toughness on the floor for the Lady Stallions. Najah NEVER takes a play off on either end of the floor. Lane averaged 9.9 ppg, 3.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 3.3 steals last season for the Lady Stallions (13-4). Najah ran on the Grassroots Circuit with PSB Elite 17U
Kynew Barnwell Kynew Barnwell 4'10" | PG Whale Branch | 2022 State SC – Whale Branch HS (Beaufort)
Barnwell packs a big punch for such a small stature. Kynew averaged 20.9 ppg, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3 steals last season for the Lady Warriors (10-1). Kynew will enter her senior season with 849 career points. Barnwell plays the game with a fearless attitude and overcomes any height problems with just solid determination.
Mazari Bennett Mazari Bennett 5'2" | PG Woodmont | 2022 State SC – Woodmont HS (Piedmont)
Bennett averaged 10.4 ppg, 5.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists last season for the Lady Wildcats (14-5). Bennett ran with the FBC Carolina Elite Hawks 2022 this past Grassroots season. Mazari really defends on the ball and looks to set up her teammates really well on the floor.

This trio of players have been bothered by some injuries here in the last few months. Dominiak had a strong Grassroots season going after doing down with a injury.
Campbell plays down at Myrtle Beach HS and has been on the shelf for quite awhile after playing a very limited high school season.
Farmer went down this spring after helping Clover HS win a Class 5A State Championship over Sumter HS. Farmer ran with Charlotte Dream Elite on the Grassroots Circuit.
