Hailey Hagler Hailey Hagler 5’9″ | SF North Lincoln | 2025 NC has a knack for showing off her versatility all in one series where she can block a shot, grab the steal, push the ball to the other end of the court, and score in transition. She can see the floor well knowing how to make adjustments, change her speed, and attack the basket, especially on fast breaks. She shows off her jumpers on multiple levels being ready to shoot right off the pass after she finds the opening. She also gets inside to rebound on both ends of the court.
Highlights
Samantha Collins Samantha Collins 5’5″ | PG Greensboro Day | 2025 NC is quick with the ball pushing the tempo and keeping control of the game. She has some nice handles that she uses to create space and go to work scoring points or making the dish to her teammates. Even as a point guard, she doesn’t hesitate getting inside to do some dirty work like using power dribbles to score points or strip the ball from a post player trying to score.
Highlights
Endia Smith Endia Smith 5’8″ | CG Greensboro Day | 2025 NC has some nice moves attacking the basket using ball fakes to lose her defender on her way to some points. She can knock down her shot from deep even with hands in her face. She does a nice job moving with the ball creating her own plays off the dribble, and she moves well without the ball getting open looking for the pass. Her ability to read the floor translates to points for her team whether she takes the shot herself or makes a nice pass to her teammates.
Karlee Starnes Karlee Starnes 5’3″ | CG Hibriten | 2025 NC plays well on both ends. Offensively, she attacks the basket scoring no matter what kind of contact is waiting for her. She knows how to find the gaps and fill in the lanes herself to put up her own shot or find an open teammate. On defense, she is quick keeping her defender in front of her at all times, and she doesn’t shy away from drawing a charge against a tough guard driving to the hoop.
Highlights
Addison Sisk Addison Sisk 5’8″ | SG Hickory | 2025 NC plays with high intensity doing everything her team needs her to do. She gets inside for rebounds, and she is feisty on defense stripping the ball for a steal. Her ability to create plays making the best adjustments to get the pass to her teammates is fun to watch as you can tell how well she sees the floor and is always thinking one step ahead of others.
