Southwest Virginia has rich culture, beautiful scenery and some very talented ball players. This article includes players in the West-Central region, Southside region and Southwest region of Virginia. [player_tooltip player_id="304815" first="Shelby" last="Fiddler"]-2022-Patrick Henry High School Shelby is a knock down shooter, with good court vision and handles. Rarely misses open shots, moves well without the ball and knows how to get open. Runs floor, gets to her spots in transition and can push the ball herself and find open teammates. She is equally skilled finishing in the paint with either hand. Top 5 shooter in the state, leader of talented Patrick Henry High School in Roanoke, VA. She has committed to Niagara University. Cali Levine-2022-Staunton River High School Knock down shooter with range, high energy player, enthusiastic and great teammate. Cali has high IQ, reads defenses and constantly communicates on the court. A natural leader, whose energy is infectious. Cali is an unselfish player, who knows how to feed the post and push the ball in transition. She is hard worker who focuses on the details and will give you everything this has on the court. [player_tooltip player_id="304812" first="Alyssa" last="Ervin"]-2024-Carroll County High School Alyssa has all the tools to be a star. She is athletic with length, can handle the ball and is a knock down shooter. Consistently knocks down 3s effortlessly from deep range She has quick first step allowing her to get into the paint where she finishes with either hand. She can push the ball in transition and makes full court passes breaking the press look easy. She picked up an offer from Radford this summer. Allyson Fleenor-2022-Pulask County High School Sturdy post player that can score inside/out. Ally runs the floor well, is light on her feet and has a bit of bounce as she gets up and down the court. She is a great interior passer, she works the high low well and finds cutting teammates with pinpoint passes. She also moves well without the ball and can the shoot the 3 ball. Ally is young, just turned 17 and is expected to have a huge senior season. Trinity Breedlove-2023-Patrick Henry High School Intriguing prospect with great length at 6’2, versatile forward that can step out to the 3pt line. Trinity runs the floor well, rim protector with her length and ability to challenge shots. She is capable of guarding the perimeter with her ability to move laterally. Her game has developed nicely over the summer and should be a consistent contributor to a loaded Patrick Henry team.
