Taylor Hawley Taylor Hawley 5'10" | SG Wesleyan Christian | 2025 State NC (pictured above, Lady Phoenix Carter 2023) had a nice steal and reverse lay up on a fast break making sure she could score her points. She hustles back on defense preventing her opponents from having an easy path to the basket. She knows how to tuck the ball in and drive finishing at the rim for two. She can battle through contact in the paint to score as well. Her IQ is high as you can see with her pass and cut mentality.
Charlotte Torgerson (Team Peak) did a nice job extending plays crashing offensive boards and finding her teammates for the entry pass. She had a nice stroke from behind the three point line, and she shows no fear driving in the paint putting up her floater to score a couple points. She’s explosive moving with and without the ball.
Abigail Jones (Team Peak) showed off her range on multiple occasions, and she can certainly battle in the paint to get position to score from the block. Her height is a strength she uses often to battle for rebounds and make sure she can block shots.
Amiyah Clark-Lamelle Amiyah Clark-Lamelle 5'3" | PG Greer | 2024 State SC (Lady Royals) showed off her range from deep several times in a close game against Lady Attack Elite including late in the game when her team was trying to seal the victory. She makes sure to found someone to box out when the shot goes up in order to grab rebounds for her team. She handles the ball well making sure she can get a play going for her team.
