The Lady Stallions went 16-9 last season under head coach Ben Drummer. 2021 Amari Hunter Amari Hunter 5'6" | CG Somerset Silver Palms | 2021 State FL (15.1 ppg) is a key departure. 2023 Alexia Sanchez transferred to Doral Academy. Additions include Unique Horton from Miami Southridge and Shanaii Gamble from Homestead.
2025 Dianka Hardisson Dianka Hardisson 5'5" | PG Somerset Academy Silver Palms | 2025 State FL looks to be the starting point guard. The 5-foot-6 prospect averaged 6.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game while shooting 50 percent from the field. Hardisson will only get better with more reps as the teams floor general.
2026 Ashley Martinez Ashley Martinez 5'4" | SG Somerset Silver Palms Academy | 2026 State FL made 71 3-pointers and averaged just over 11 points per game. She could be one of the best shooters in the state. Both Martinez and Hardisson have years of varsity experience.
2022 Amber Mateo Amber Mateo 5'4" | CG Somerset Silver Palms | 2022 State FL is a four-year starter that has already eclipsed 1000 career points. The 5-foot-4 guard averaged just under nine points and 4.6 rebounds per game. She’s a good player around the glass and has a great feel for the game. Mateo should be a team leader on what is a young group overall.
2024 Unique Horton is a 6-foot-2 forward with a high ceiling as a rim protector. Horton uses her length well to defend and grab rebounds. Her offensive game is developing and she could be in for a big season. Regardless, her size is something to watch.
2024 Shanaii Gamble is a 6-foot wing with versatility on both ends of the floor. She is a great athlete and could be a mismatch problem. 2026 Stephanie Vega and 2027 Victoria Valle Victoria Valle 5'7" | PG Doral Academy | 2027 State FL have scoring potential.
The Stallions are a talented team overall with a lot of youth. The unit should develop under a challenging schedule. By seasons end, Somerset Silver Palms could be a threat in Class 3A.
