Continue ReadingUp from No. 41The Dayton-signee is a smooth scorer that dumps in points in bunches. She averages over 20 points per game, able to go coast-to-coast while splitting defenders. In the halfcourt, Denika can stroke it from deep or get to her spots in the mid-range. She rebounds the ball well and has a high usage rate as Tallulah Falls’ lone go-to option.
Up from No. 105rnAgee has always been a dangerous outside shooter, able to catch-and-shoot or create off the dribble when getting to her mid-range, but her senior season Tasia has really become a playmaker, getting more reps at point guard. Agee sees the floor well and is a threat to dish on drives.
Up from No. 187Jaliyah has emerged as one of the state’s most prolific scorers pouring in 25.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 4.5 steals per game. She’s a physically strong guard that gets on the glass and can absorb contract when getting to the hoop.
Up from No. 76The 1,400-point scorer is putting up video game numbers averaging 27.6 points, 9.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 5.7 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. Turner has hit 67-184 (36%) of her threes. Kiara plays with high energy, providing supreme effort on both ends of the floor. She makes the game look easy with her smooth approach. Kiara has a high release on her jumper making it hard to contest. She’s a true three-level scorer.
Highlights
Up from No. 154The wiry guard has shown an ability to get hot this year, going on scoring streaks to help put Archer ahead for good. She’s an efficient three-point shooter who can also slice her way to the rim, really effective in transition. Ashanti’s length causes problems on the perimeter defensively.
