Let’s take a look at some of the athletes who have surpassed the 1000 point milestone in their high school careers and are still available for colleges who need dominant scorers.
Christiana Young has actually surpassed the 2000 point milestone. She may be known as someone who handles the ball well facilitating offensive sets and making nice passes up the court to her teammates, but she can score from anywhere on the court herself. While she can certainly handle the ball against anyone, she knows the importance of making quick passes to move the defense, and she relocates herself to get open for her own shot. Her shot fakes always seem to get her opponents on their feet creating a path for her to go around easily.
Alyssa Lewis always seems to the the focal point for opposing teams because she has been one of the top shooters in the area. She can knock down shots from anywhere. You need her to pull up from the volleyball line? She’s got you. She handles the ball well running point for her high school team as she uses her vision to create plays and find the open areas for her teammates. She is an aggressive defender staying in the face of her opponent stripping the ball away and pushing the steal up the court for two points.
Kirsten Lewis-Williams has been on a tear this season leading her Lake Norman team to a 23-0 start. She has been so versatile on the court for the Wildcats serving as the point guard bringing the ball up to getting on the block posting up for some points. She uses her length to jump into passing lanes grabbing steals, and she pushes the ball right up the court finishing on her own at the rim or finding her open teammate for their own points. She pulls up for midrange jumpers and can knock down shots around the perimeter showing her ability to score on all three levels.
Highlights
Staci Williams is an excellent student of the game being able to adjust to what her opponents give her. She takes advantage of slow defenses or making them shift with her ball handling to create her own open spaces. She relocates well when she passes the ball finding the open areas to show off her shot off the pass, or she can battle her way to the rim for two. Her hesitation and in and out moves create space for her to score or make a nice pass to her teammates. She will do it all for her team, too, getting inside for rebounds and jumping passing lanes to grab steals.
Kyla Bryant has always been one of the best ball handlers in the state, and she uses these moves to help get to the hoop to score her points. She has a way of getting to the rim losing her defenders along the way with crossovers and hesitation moves. She can set herself up for some shots from deep, too. Coming off of the state championship last season, she has been playing with high intensity leaving it all out on the court each time she plays. Her leadership is obvious as well being able to keep the composure of her team when needed and lead her team on runs when they are pulling away with the lead.
Nevaeh Farmer is another crafty ball handler, and she has used this senior season to show just how dominant she can be going up against anyone. Her high school team certainly has other weapons to step up, but she is the glue holding her team together with her ability to create plays for herself or shift the defense opening up the court for her teammates. She can knock down her shot from deep with ease even when someone is closing out on her, and she uses ball fakes to get around opponents finishing at the rim. She is quick on defense, too, getting in the way of her opponents and stripping the ball away from them.
