Jayla Knight | Guard | Arkansas Queens
Jayla was an athletic guard that spent time at the point and on the wing. She used her speed well when she attacked off the dribble. Jayla was able to push the ball in transition and show she could finish with either hand and through contact. She gave great effort on defense and played the passing lanes well.
JaCalyn Houston | Point Guard | Arkansas Queens
JaCalyn was a high energy point guard that defended the ball well. Good athlete that made plays for her teammates and could also make plays for herself. Used her ability to change direction off the dribble to get into the heart of the defense. She pushes the ball well in transition and could finish over or around the defense.
Kate Wood Kate Wood 5'9" | SF Bigelow | 2025 State AR | Guard | Arkansas Warriors
Kate saw time at the point guard position and she was in attack mode. She really excels in the open court where she can really put her athleticism on display. Her speed and ball handling allows her to easily get around defenders and get to the rim for the finish.
Tazayyah Buford | Point Guard | Arkansas Lady Rebels
One of the most complete point guards I saw over the weekend. Her on-ball defense is some of the best I’ve seen. She’s not afraid to sacrifice her body and take the charge, has active hands, and plays the passing lanes well. She’s great in the pick and roll, finish in traffic, and has a respectable jumper.
Brooklyn Rowe | Wing | Arkansas Lady Rebels
Brooklyn put on an absolute show in the championship game. She got hot and was connecting on a number of shots from all over the floor. This sharp shooting wing player knocked down several three-pointers as she led her team to the championship with her 27pts. She scored in transition, off catch and shoot threes, off the dribble and finished at the rim.
