Carrigan averaged 18.1 ppg, 8.4 rebounds and 2.8 steals last season at Indian Land HS. Carrigan has a great skill set and scorer's mentality on the floor. She really can score the rock from all over the floor. McCloud was a recent Stock-Riser in the Prep Girls Hoops rankings with her play at the SCBCA Elite Camp last month in North Charleston.

Tatum has been a fixture since the doors opened at Catawba Ridge. She averaged 8.7 ppg and 4.9 rebounds last season for the Lady Copperheads. Tatum runs track in the spring while playing with Lady Attack Elite on the Grassroots Circuit. She is great glue player on a team - does all the little things that need to be done at times.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["244090"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":450985,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Grigg averaged 15.6 ppg, 4.3 steals and 2.6 assists last season for the Lady Trojans. Darby is a feisty guard who has no problems sacrificing her body at times on the floor when it comes to a loose ball or taking a charge. Grigg a 3-sport athlete also excels on the soccer field and volleyball court.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["256646"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":358263,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Bell is a true post player down low with a very soft touch around the cup. Zaria will look to work from block to block in paint and play with her back to the basket. She will tend to keep the ball up high after claiming it off the glass.

She averaged 14.2 ppg, 4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.7 steals last season as a freshman. Makailah is constantly swarming the ball on defensive end of the court. She plays every possession like it's her last one. Davis moves well without the ball around the floor.
