Eva Butler Eva Butler 5'6" | SG Providence | 2022 NC (Providence, G, 2022) was dominant on the defensive side of the ball grabbing steals and blocking shots. Her offensive game is expanding knocking down shots from deep and driving to both sides of the hoop. She was scoring three points the old fashioned way, too. Her offensive rebounds late in the game against Independence helped to seal the comeback victory for the Panthers.
Zoe Henderson Zoe Henderson 5'11" | SF Northside Christian | 2023 NC (Julius Chambers, G, 2023) continues to show how she can do it all. She had some nice drives to the paint putting up floaters for some points. She does well battling through contact, and she sees the court finding her open teammates for their own points.
Nevaeh Farmer Nevaeh Farmer 5'4" | PG North Mecklenburg | 2023 State NC (North Meck, G, 2023) is such an efficient point guard finding ways to get smart passes into her teammates for their own points. She uses her speed to push the ball up the court, and she can run the floor catching passes in transition herself to score some points. She’s a tough defender making sure to block the path and ball for her opponents.
Dearia Page (North Meck, G, 2023) showed off her ability to hit jump shots after pulling up on drives to the basket. She’s a tough defender knocking the ball away from her opponents to push it up the court. It seems that you can watch her grab steals on repeat each game that she plays, and she knows the best way to score off of these turnovers.
