Charlotte Duos: NCISAA Edition

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I took to Twitter to see what duos in North Carolina need to be watched this upcoming high school season, and the responses did not disappoint.&nbsp; Here are some of the duos (and some trios!) in Charlotte area NCISAA schools that should be watched.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We start off with a trio from Cannon as the Cougars continue to be a powerhouse of talent.&nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='116906' first='Samyha' last='Suffren']</strong> will continue to lead her team through her senior season.&nbsp; She controls the tempo of the game pushing the ball up the court or settling it down to run an offense.&nbsp; She can pull up with her jumpers from all over the court draining it from deep or weaving through defenders to the basket.&nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='275952' first='Lili' last='Booker']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='252865' first='Maya' last='McCorkle']</strong> bring a lot of support in the guard position being tough defenders turning that into offense.&nbsp; Booker can battle through any kind of contact, and McCorkle can guard and drive against anyone trying to stop her. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='253888' first='Hannah' last='Sorrentino']</strong> has been a leader for Metrolina controlling the ball and being a tough defender knocking the ball away from her opponents.&nbsp; She now has some deep shooting help from <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='458563' first='Emily' last='King']</strong> who will be starting her first season with the Warriors.&nbsp; King can handle the ball, too, and she is bringing a strong scoring ability on all levels.&nbsp; This duo together is certainly worth your attention this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Hankerson trio has returned to Charlotte Country Day, and we are here for it!&nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='231023' first='Laila' last='Hankerson']</strong> is going into her senior season and will certainly be a leader for the group.&nbsp; She makes smart decisions figuring out how to get an offense going.&nbsp; She sees the floor well knowing when to show off her shot or find an open teammate.&nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='267232' first='Alyssa' last='Hankerson']</strong> does a nice job of filling in the gaps on defense to get open for a pass and some points.&nbsp; She jumps into passing lanes grabbing steals, too. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='242934' first='Alana' last='Hankerson']</strong> is also a vocal leader with her group and doesn't shy away from knocking down shots from deep.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This next duo will be going to work at Covenant Day.&nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='490729' first='Alexis' last='Hailey']</strong> has been leading the charge with her lengthy presence controlling the ball, filling the gaps, and finding ways to the basket.&nbsp; She can show off her shot from anywhere, and she uses her length to get in the way of passes on defense.&nbsp; <strong>Avery Houseton</strong> will be coming into her freshman season, but she's been a three sport athlete for a while.&nbsp; She comes in with an ability to do it all for her team from hustling for loose balls, grabbing rebounds, and getting to the hoop to score.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This last duo comes to us a little west from the Charlotte area in the mountains at Asheville Christian Academy.&nbsp; The Larios sisters are certainly going to help the Lions make another championship run coming off the state championship from last season.&nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221937' first='Emma' last='Larios']</strong> is set to take her talents to High Point University but not before having a great senior season leading the charge with her ball handling, tough on ball defense, and knockdown shots.&nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='285953' first='Sara' last='Larios']</strong> is another excellent ball handler coming into her sophomore season already playing at full speed in high school.&nbsp; She can show off her shot from anywhere scoring on all three levels just like her sister.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
