An aggressive basketball player usually find success and Liv is a player who fits that mold. This girl is a strong and athletic point guard. She can score, make the assist, rebound, and guard the basketball. One of her best attributes is her ability to attack and get to the free throw line.

Lauryn is only a sophomore but this young lady has a solid potential for a high ceiling just because of the way she plays. This strong and very athletic guard can do it all. She can shoot the 3, can shoot off the dribble, crashes the boards hard, and plays at both ends of the floor. She plays the game the way it should be played.
Whitney Langhals

Whitney helps her team both offensively and on the defensive end of the floor. She has quick hands and is a good defender to create turnovers including deflections. She handles the ball well and has a very good shot from behind the arc. Good attitude and looking to always get better.
Courtney Sumner

Courtney is a player who will hurt a defense if you leave her open on the perimeter. The D3 college recruit does everything it takes to help her team success. She has a lot of experience and that translates into good leadership for her team. Smart basketball IQ and fundamentally sound.
Cali Gregory
Cali Gregory
This young lady has opened a lot of eyes this season with her solid performances in the biggest games. She scored her 1,000th career point as a junior and does what she has to for her team. She can play a guard spot, defend a post or anyone in between. Cali can score in all three phases, from the 3, midrange or can get to the rim. She can rebound and block shots.
Samantha Scoles
Samantha Scoles
She can play well with either hand and even though she is a leftie, she can finish at the rim with both hands. Has good range if needed, but she is tough to defend when she gets into the paint. Solid defender and leader which comes from her experience.
Rilynn Jones
Rilynn Jones
Got to see her over the summer and fall and was impressed how poised she was. Good floor leader and displays solid fundamentals from the point guard spot. Good handles and distributes the ball well. Can score from the perimeter and push the tempo.
