Dominiak really did a good job of stuffing the stat sheet last season for the Green and White. Ally averaged 12.2 ppg, 3.9 steals, 3.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists for the Battling Bishops (12-2). Bishop England defeated Camden HS in the 2nd Round and Orangeburg-Wilkinson HS in the Lower State Championship Game. Dominiak plays the game to the fullest and is always around the ball to make a play. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-258154" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/02/560F9D23-F229-4ABB-A65F-82142C92A0AC.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="258142" first="Princess" last="Scott"] (2022) - Bishop England </strong> Scott plays with her back to the basket and really likes playing the game on contact down low. Princess averaged 7.6 ppg and 8.4 rebounds last season. Scott can carve out space and finish over both shoulders down low. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-348529" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/0E6E4DF0-05A5-4321-82D9-82E8E6D84C3D-scaled-crop-1724x1132-1636050390-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="262009" first="Ella" last="Schar"] (2022) - Bishop England </strong> Schar can extend the defense to the elbow with a soft jumper or play with her back to the basket. Ella is just another piece to a very talented roster for longtime Head Coach Paul Runey. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="348503" first="Kiara" last="Wilson"] (2023) - Battery Creek HS (Beaufort) </strong> Wilson is back to run the show for the Lady Dolphins offense. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-280771" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/34425722-A5EC-46BE-80CC-12FFAB17CA3D.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="261908" first="Tynasjia" last="Ford"] (2024) - Oceanside Collegiate </strong> Ford is a space eater in the paint with a great set of hands. Tynasjia has a great looking stroke from the foul line. Ford averaged 9.9 ppg and 9.5 rebounds last season for the Lady Landsharks. Ford played on the local front with S.H.O.T.S. United when it came to summer basketball. I'm seeing Ford have a breakout season for OCA. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-280777" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/9A545797-A0FE-492B-ABF4-1D80C5922085.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="275340" first="Ashtyn" last="Adams"] (2024) - Hanahan HS </strong> Adams and the Lady Hawks have to make a lot of improvements from last years team. Ashtyn came on the scene a bit this summer running with Coastal Select on the Grassroots Circuit. Adams showed some good glimpses this summer and still has plenty of time to make strides down the road with her play.
