Ja’Kiyah Moore did a nice job pushing the ball up the court after grabbing a defensive rebound. She flashed in the paint making some nice cuts keeping her defender where she wanted to score at the rim. It was apparent her team wanted the ball in her hands late in the game to control the tempo and get some plays going.
Taliya Rowe Taliya Rowe 5’9″ | CG Rolesville | 2025 State NC knocked down her shot from deep even when her opponents had a hand in her face. She followed shots being able to grab rebounds on both ends of the court. She was putting some pressure on her opponents going after the ball as they tried to dribble by her.
Aaliyah Townes Aaliyah Townes 5’6″ | PG Ledford | 2025 NC was controlling the tempo pushing the ball up the court or settling her team down with some half court sets. She did a nice job with her shot selection, and she showed off her range shooting the ball as she got open creating her own space with the ball. She even got inside to grab rebounds, too.

Lola Vanore Lola Vanore 5’5″ | PG Page | 2027 NC is already playing at a high level weaving around her opponents knowing how to attack the gaps. She slid into the open lanes with ease while running on fast breaks. She followed shots crashing boards, too, and she knew exactly where to kick the ball out to once she was in the paint.
