Strong Sophomore Class
Tacoya Heyward Tacoya Heyward 5'9" | SF Bluffton | 2024 State SC , Madison Washington Madison Washington 5'10" | PF Bluffton | 2024 State SC , Katie Rodney Katie Rodney 5'2" | PG Bluffton | 2024 State SC and Ja’lania Mosley all start for the Lady Bobcats and all happen to be just sophomores. Heyward led the Bobcats with 16 points tonight in the victory. Tacoya sees the floor very well and really does a good job of knocking down open shots. Heyward really stuffs the stat sheet night in and night out. Heyward came into the game averaging 14.4 ppg, 9 rebounds, 6 steals and 3.9 assists.
Washington is a physical post player who really looks to take up space down low in the paint. Madison had 11 points and 11 rebounds according to my unofficial stats during the game. Washington has a nice set of broad shoulders and a thicker frame.
Rodney has a scorer’s mentality and looks to score the ball every time she touched it today. Katie finished with 8 points in the win.
