Ashauni Corley Ashauni Corley 5'8" | CG Episcopal Collegiate | 2023 State AR | G | Episcopal Collegiate | 5’8 | 2023
The senior guard put in a solid performance vs Riverview. She had a broken knuckle on her non-shooting hand so she had a little trouble with handling the ball with her left hand and gripping the ball on her shot, but she still contributed 11 points in the victory. Sunnie is a steady guard that applies good pressure on defense. She defends the ball well and plays the passing lanes. Offensively, she stretches the defense with her three-point shooting ability. When the defense closes out hard she can get into her 1 or 2 dribble mid-range jumper. She also finished in transition and got her teammates involved.
Cydney Sanders Cydney Sanders 5'8" | PG Baptist Preparatory | 2026 State AR | PG | Episcopal Collegiate | 5’8 | 2026
Anytime a freshman starts at point guard on the varsity team they must possess the ability to be poise and calm under pressure. Cydney did not look like a freshman running the show for her team. She was under control, never rushed or looked hurried, and she made good decision with the ball. Her ability to finish plays through contact with the weak hand was like that of an upperclassman. I really like her potential on the defensive end. With her length and quickness, she has the ability to be a lock down defender. She defended the ball well and was disruptive off the ball.
Riley Brady Riley Brady 5'11" | PF Episcopal Collegiate | 2023 State AR | Forward/Post | Episcopal Collegiate | 5’11 | 2023
Riley had the best performance of the night. The 5’11 forward showed her versatility on both ends of the floor. Defensively she controlled the paint with her rebounding and shot blocking. When Episcopal went to a full court press, Riley anticipated well and got deflections and steals that led to easy transition points. Offensively, she showed a little bit of everything. She handled the ball and made plays in the open court. Riley knocked down open jumpers, attacked off the bounce, finished in traffic with good footwork, and made on-target passes off the dribble.
