I was able to catch days one and two of the event where there were many standouts to discuss. For now, let’s take a look at the 2024 point guards that stood out at the event.
Bailee Goodlett Bailee Goodlett 5’6″ | PG North Rowan | 2024 State NC was showing off her ability to face guard a quick opponent keeping up with her stride for stride and preventing her from getting to the basket. She attacks the basket herself using her speed to get to the rim and score. She has some nice range on her shot, too, scoring on all levels.
Demya Phifer Demya Phifer 5’7″ | PG West Rowan | 2024 State NC was certainly getting in the heads of her opponents with the way she handled the ball and can shoot all over the court. She did a nice job making it count from the free throw line after attacking the basket battling through contact. She’s tough on defense, too, anticipating passes and grabbing the steals to push up the court.
Jianna Holmes Jianna Holmes 5’8″ | PG Winston Salem Christian | 2024 State NC handles the ball well making plays and getting by her opponents. She is so smooth with the ball maintaining composure throughout every game and finding her open teammates for the shot. She’s tough when it comes to face guarding her opponents stripping the ball away. She’ll even get inside to grab some rebounds, too, grabbing them to go and push the tempo up the court.
Highlights

She gets the pass to her teammates filling the lane herself to open up the court for them, and she attacks the basket finishing through contact making some nice adjustments at the rim. She’s tough on defense being ready to take on any guard who tries to get by her as she takes over the top of the press.

Korin Gladden Korin Gladden 5’10” | PG Willow Spring | 2024 NC had a nice full court sprint with the ball finishing at the rim not backing down from any kind of contact. Seeing her height, you may think she would get inside, but she handles the ball well bringing it up at the point guard position. She had a nice behind the back dribble getting her defender off balance for her to pull up in the paint. She hustles back on defense being ready to stop her opponent from scoring in transition. Her height was an asset on defense constantly knocking the ball away.
