Kadida wi<span style="font-size: 1rem;">ll be headed to James Madison to continue her basketball career. She looks to overpower defenders and is very good at doing so. Look for her to add some counter moves as she will face player of equal strength in college.</span>
Sophia Carlisle - 6’3" - Bishop O’Connell - 2023
Sophia has had a college frame since middle school. She is an excellent rebounder working to create second chance points off of the offensive glass. She is intimidating in the lane altering shots of driving guards.
