Talia Edmond
Talia Edmond
Talia Edmond did a nice job moving around the paint flashing with her hands high to get the pass and bucket. She was consistently repositioning and sealing off her opponents for the entry pass. She was persistent going after rebounds on both ends, too. She embraced contact on her way up making sure she at least had a chance to make some free throws. She was grabbing rebounds and putting them back up for some points.
Skyla Tuthill had a nice stroke from beyond the perimeter. She attacked the basket, too, driving through contact and converting from the free throw line. She is aware of the best places to fill in the lanes in order to make some points on a fast break or open up the court for her teammates.
Highlights
Brianna Carelock
Brianna Carelock
Brianna Carelock was hustling back on offense being ready for the pass and bucket on fast breaks. She used her IQ on defense jumping in front of passes to grab the steal, and she is explosive moving to the other end of the court for a solo fast break. She can certainly score on all levels being an asset on both ends of the court.
Courtney Ashford

Courtney Ashford was quick with the ball pushing it up the court for a solo fast break. She can knock it down from deep, too. She found ways to even make nice passes as she was falling down being completely aware of how to make a play to help her team.
