This season is like no different with some First Impressions and some Youngsters that caught our eye. Who are these players? Well I guess it’s time to SUBSCRIBE and find out. #RecruitThePalmettoState
First Impressions:
Hallie Ruth Stumbo Hallie Ruth Stumbo 5'8" | PF Greenwood Christian | 2023 State SC – Greenwood Christian
Stumbo came up big time after time today in the paint for the Lady Hawks. She was able to deliver on some putbacks on the glass. Hallie Ruth was in the right place to make some plays today for the Lady Hawks to advance to the next round.
Grace Becker Grace Becker 5'6" | SG Spartanburg Day | 2025 State SC – Spartanburg Day
Becker sure has the confidence to let it fly from downtown behind the 3-point line. She connected on a few three pointers and some short jumpers for the Lady Griffins today. Grace plays multiple sports such as Swimming, Track and Cross Country besides playing hoops.
Kaytlin McJimpsey Kaytlin McJimpsey 5'5" | PG Spartanburg Day | 2025 State SC – Spartanburg Day
Kaytlin plays in the backcourt for the Lady Griffins. McJimpsey is a pass-first guard who doesn’t mind jumping on the floor for a loose ball at times. She showed to have a nice touch from the foul line. Kaytlin finished drives to the cup while playing the game extremely hard on both ends.
Youngsters – Freshmen:
Lyza Pricklemyer Lyza Pricklemyer 5'6" | CG Laurence Manning Academy | 2026 State SC – Laurence Manning Academy (Manning)
The Lady Cats took some lumps this season but, the future looks bright with some youngsters to lean on moving forward. Lyza is a left-handed guard who plays the game with a lot of passion for her young age. She connected on some floaters and jumpers here today. Pricklemyer started last summer on the softball team as an 8th grader.
Ashley Rae Hodge Ashley Rae Hodge 5'3" | PG Laurence Manning Academy | 2026 State SC – Laurence Manning Academy (Manning)
Ashley was the leading scorer for the Lady Cats this past season at 10.1 ppg. Hodge plays the game to the fullest like Pricklemyer when on the floor. This duo forms the Lady Cats backcourt for many years to come down the road.
Audrey Federe Audrey Federe 5'9" | PF Greenwood Christian | 2026 State SC – Greenwood Christian
Federe is very new to the game and literally just started playing this past year. Audrey has good footwork and plays with her back to the basket. She can set out for a short jumper from time to time. Audrey will run the floor and shows to have a nice head-fake move to go with her soft hands. She will certainly get better down the road the more she decides to play the game.
