Thomas had the full skillset on display at the Daytona State Girls . Thomas is one of those rare players who can play the point, play on the wing, play at the freethrow line, or move to post and play with her back to the basket. She puts a lot of stress on a defense with her ability to pass and score. Thomas also stood out in the transition game with her ability to handle the ball, get to the rim and pass to the open player on the wing. Thomas was so impressive she received an offer from Daytona State College during the camp.

Brianna Karanja Brianna Karanja 6'0" | PF Trenton | 2024 State FL was one of the sleepers at the forward position.

She rebounded well, scored in the paint, played great defense, and was just a fundamentally sound player.
Irvieona Gantt Irvieona Gantt 5'6" | SG Mandarin | 2024 State FL was a standout forward for the camp. She showed a lot of versatility playing at the 2 and primarily the 3 at this particular camp. Gantt did little of everything. She scored in transition on the wing and also took some coast to coast, showing speed that is well known on the flag football circuit. Gantt knocked down the three point shot and midrange shots and played with a lot of confidence. She also did a good job of getting to open spots and scoring off of cuts to the basket. She played very well for the entire camp and was a standout at the small forward position.
