It was a great opportunity from teams in different counties to come together on the same court sharing their love for the game of basketball. I was able to see all six teams play that participated in the event, and these are my Most Valuable Players.
Kierra Diggs Kierra Diggs 5’10” | SF Chesterfield | 2024 State SC was making nice moves attacking the basket and scoring no matter whose hands were in her face. She was jumping in front of passing lanes grabbing steals and scoring on solo fast breaks. She had a nice finish at the rim making adjustments to get the bucket and didn’t back down from contact. She had a nice arc on her shot dropping it right in from beyond the perimeter.
Alexis Shehan Alexis Shehan 6’0″ | SF Lake Norman | 2025 State NC had some nice moves in the post starting with her back to the basket and scoring with ease using her post moves to get some points. She was a rebounding machine on both ends of the court going after boards and using offensive ones to score on second chances. She knew how to draw defenders towards her as she drove hard in the paint finding her open teammates for the kick out.
Highlights
Josephine Vourliotis
Josephine Vourliotis
Josephine Vourliotis knocked down her shot from deep getting to the open spot and making it rain from around the perimeter. She did a nice job attacking the basket, too, going up against any kind of contact that was in front of her. She was blocking shots on defense protecting the basket against anyone who tried to drive against her.
Natalie Lam
Natalie Lam
Natalie Lam had some nice handles with the ball knowing how to use a move to blow by her opponent and score some points. She had a nice reverse layup rolling the ball off her fingertips scoring an one on one possession. She did a nice job looking inside finding her open teammates making the cut.
Maddy Powell was scoring from deep finding the open spot after working to get the space. She used shot fakes to get the open look and score with floaters in the paint or banking it off the backboard after grabbing an offensive rebound. Her teammates certainly wanted the ball in her hands facilitating the offense.
Jaiden Thompson Jaiden Thompson 5’10” | SG Union Academy | 2026 State NC is versatile on the court showing off her handles attacking the basket and being able to battle inside for some points. She had back to back plays where she was stripping the ball, grabbing the steal, and pushing it up the court for some solo fast break points. She was doing it all for her team, too, going after loose balls, knocking down her shot from deep, and grabbing rebounds.
