Amanda Sacoto | Cuthbertson | C | 2023
12 points // 13 rebounds // 2 assists // 1 block
Sacoto is a strong rebounder constantly fighting for the boards on both ends of the court. She had some nice points off of putbacks, and she sees the floor well finding her open teammate. On defense, she does an excellent job hedging opponents on screens to help her guard teammates get around in time to cause problems.
Alyssa Lewis Alyssa Lewis 5'7" | SG Hickory Ridge | 2023 State NC | Hickory Ridge | G | 2023
14 points // 10 rebounds // 2 assists // 3 steals
Lewis (pictured above) is an efficient scorer showing off her range hitting a deep three pointer and getting to the hoop with ease. She turned steals into fast breaks for herself including one with a nice spin move at the hoop to get two points. She does an excellent job following shots coming out of nowhere to grab rebounds.
La’niya Simes La’niya Simes 5'10" | SF East Forsyth | 2023 State NC | East Forsyth | SF | 2023
16 points // 16 rebounds // 2 assist // 6 steals // 2 blocks
Simes was doing everything for her team bringing the ball up the court to getting inside for some rebounds. She takes the ball coast to coast after grabbing the rebound herself or being an outlet pass from her teammate pushing the tempo for her team. She has a nice change of speed that derails her defender from guarding her and allows her to blow by them. She battled through contact putting up three points the old fashioned way off of her offensive boards.
Jakieya Thompson Jakieya Thompson 5'7" | CG St Pauls | 2023 State NC | St. Pauls | G | 2023
22 points // 8 rebounds // 8 assists // 10 steals
Thompson shows off her athleticism on both ends of the court. She jumps into passing lanes grabbing steals, and she doesn’t hesitate when it comes to picking the pocket of her opponents to take the other direction for some fast break points. She moves the ball around well constantly shifting the defense waiting for the best opportunity to shoot her shot. She sees her teammates cutting on the court to get them the right pass for their own points.
Ellia Wright | Jordan-Matthews | G | 2022
22 points // 8 rebounds // 12 assists // 6 steals
Wright scored on all three levels showing off her range and getting all the way to the hoop. She sees the floor well knowing how to create separation from her opponents to get up her jump shot. Her teammates were flashing in the paint, and she found them easily with passes.
