She was purposeful in the “little things” – blocking out, setting solid screens and moving without the ball. Brooke was able to keep a good pace/tempo on the offensive end and was very aggressive on the defensive end. Brooke is a true threat on both ends of the court.
Gracee Waller 2024 – Gracee plays the game with a very high level of intensity and a high IQ. She was able to get to her spots, knock down multiple shots and make the right play when the ball was in her hands. She shoots the ball well and continually kept her teammates involved. Waller sprints the floor in transition and hustles back on defense – every possession. Defensively, she was able to make numerous stops and forced many turnovers.
Karsen Griggs 2024 – Karsen was a player who truly stood out on the defensive end. She was able to defend the bigs down low but more impressively, she was able to switch up and defend the smaller guards around the perimeter – she was able to use her quickness to get to every spot she needed when defending on the outside. Karsen is excellent on the defensive end but she is just as stellar on the boards and on the offensive end. She moves well without the ball and does a great job of getting to the rim through contact. Karsen plays with intensity and passion – from start to finish, she gave 100% and never let up!
Makenzy Herman 2023 – Makenzy did a great job of handling the ball and making strong passes to her teammates. She kept the momentum going for her team every minute that she was on the floor. Herman hustles on both ends of the floor – sound on offense but very intense on defense. — the Dale Lady Pirates are a “defense into offense” team and Makenzy plays a pivotal role in their defensive success.
