Orlando Area, under-the-radar: 2024

Orlando Area Under the Radar: 2024 <strong>Kelani Serrano</strong> 2024 5’7" SG East River Serrano, the Dennis Rodman of the Falcons, dives for loose balls, gets after the rebounds. A scrappy player that is unselfish and willing to make the right play for the team.  She is the second leading rebounder with 5.8 rebounds per game.  Has the ability to knock down the mid-range jumper as the 4.7 points per game shows.

She is scoring 10.7 points per game, having made 27 three-point baskets.  She has a season high of 20 points versus University High School earlier in the season.  Along with the ability to hit the long ball, she does a good job of rebounding for the Lions, grabbing 3.5 rebounds per game.
