GBCA Girls Live Day 2 Standouts Part 1

The Inaugural GBCA Live bought some of the top teams in the state of Georgia all under 1 roof in Suwannee, GA. The match ups on the day had the atmosphere feeling like it was the GHSA playoffs. The players left it all on court and did somethings that would be on highlight reels come next week. Here are the players that stood out to me on day 2. <strong>Jimmya Cushion</strong> I 5’3 I 2025 I Tift County Cushion is a special talent that plays far beyond her 5’3 frame. A player that is not afraid to battle inside for the offensive rebounds and putbacks. On Day 2 she was instrumental for her Tift County team. When her team needed a basket, she was clutch hitting shot after shot. She knocked down 4 triples in her first game on the day but also found a way to get to the basket as well. Had 14 points in game 1 where she showed she can score from anywhere. A player that applies pressure 94 feet which creates turnovers and easy baskets in transition. High IQ guard. <strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/Iryana-Muckle-rotated-crop-480x316-1655543320.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-447421 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/Iryana-Muckle-rotated-crop-480x316-1655543320-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Iryana Muckle</strong> I 5’3 I 2023 I Pebblebrook I had the opportunity to catch Muckle twice on Day 2. She is a player that can score at will and every time down the floor. Whether it’s the pull up jumper in transition to get to the rim and scoring through contact. Knows how to get to the free throw where she is automatic. Streaky player that can rattle off basket after basket for her Pebblebrook team. One of the best ball handlers I seen on the day. Her ball handling skills allow her to create space to get her shots off and get to the rim. <strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/Riley-Bensman-rotated-crop-480x316-1655543398.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-447423 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/Riley-Bensman-rotated-crop-480x316-1655543398-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Riley Bensman</strong> I 5’9 I 2024 I Pope Bensman is a player whose range starts as soon as she gets on the floor. A player that is consistently moving and cutting to get her shot off. She doesn’t need much space to get her shot off. Quick release which usually catches her defenders off balance. If you run her off the 3 point line she has the ability to pull up or get to the basket. Knows how to absorb the contact and get opportunities at the free throw line. High motor. <strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/Faith-Johnson-2-rotated-crop-480x316-1655543467.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-447425 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/Faith-Johnson-2-rotated-crop-480x316-1655543467-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>[player_tooltip player_id="154603" first="Faith" last="Johnson"]</strong> I 5’3 I 2023 I Lowndes Johnson is a floor general that can play the point guard and shooting guard position. Has the ability to take over a game with her ability to get her shot off at any given moment. The step back jump shot is her most consistent move. Gets downhill quickly and she can knock down the 3 ball consistently. A player that gets better every time she steps on the floor. &nbsp; <strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/Kanija-Daniel-rotated-crop-480x316-1655543529.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-447427 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/Kanija-Daniel-rotated-crop-480x316-1655543529-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>[player_tooltip player_id="154587" first="Kanija" last="Daniel"]</strong> I 5’10 I 2023 I Carrollton Daniel can do it all. Just a flat-out scorer that can shoot it from anywhere on the court. A player that wants the ball in her hands and does something special every time down the floor. Long athletic guard that can elevate and shoot over her defenders. Her length also allows her to get in the paint and score over the bigger defenders. Plays with a lot of energy and sees the floor well in transition. <strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/Charlacia-rotated-crop-480x316-1655543624.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-447429 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/Charlacia-rotated-crop-480x316-1655543624-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Charlacia Jones</strong> I 5’8 I 2025 I Ware County Jones is a game changer that does all the little things. She is a player that will sacrifice her body to get to all the 50/50 balls. Extremely active on both ends of the floor and always finds her way to the offensive and defensive rebounds. Knows how to finish through contact and has a strong frame which allows her to bang inside on the block. A player that can guard all 5 positions on the floor and not afraid to apply pressure full court.
