I was able to catch a couple days of action at the event. Here are some of the guards in the class of 2025 that stood out to me.
Samantha Shehan Samantha Shehan 6’0″ | CG Lake Norman | 2025 State NC was absolutely on fire drawing eyes from all across the convention center as she hit nine three pointers in a single game. Those of you who have watched her play before know that this isn’t that unusual as she is a sharp shooter from deep, and defenders have no chance of closing out on her shot due to her quick release. She can score on all levels getting to the hoop putting up some floaters, and she runs the floor well being ready for a pass in transition to finish at the rim.
Highlights
Addison Sirianni Addison Sirianni 5’7″ | CG Lake Norman | 2025 State NC was another player from the same Lady Attack Elite team that was on fire from around the perimeter. She can create her own plays scoring off the dribble, or she slid into the opening to put up her shot. She attacks the basket aggressively, and she sees the floor well knowing when to take the shot herself or make the dish to her teammates. Her ability to make the pass up the court and see it drop perfectly in her teammates’ hands is fun to watch.
Highlights
Peyton Harvey Peyton Harvey 5’8″ | PG AC Reynolds | 2025 State NC showed off her range shooting the ball from deep. She has a slick crossover losing her defender and opening up the court for her to make the nice pass into her teammates flashing in the paint. She hustles after loose balls, and she makes the cuts in the paint herself finding the openings. She follows shots, too, even getting offensive rebounds at the free throw line and immediately dumping it off to her post players on the block for two points.
Highlights
Whitney Rogers Whitney Rogers 5’6″ | CG Cherokee | 2025 NC knows how to tie up a ball when she gets the chance stopping her opponents from getting an offense going. She slides into the openings and attacks the open lane using her handles to get to the rim. She doesn’t back down from contact as she gets to the hoop, but most of the time her ball fakes create space for her to get to the rim.
Jaza Wilson Jaza Wilson 5’7″ | SG West Henderson | 2025 State NC was scoring on all levels knocking down her shots from deep with ease. She got inside battling through contact to bank some points off the glass, and she sealed off opponents making it easy to get the entry pass to her. She made some smart plays down the stretch taking care of each possession in a close game.
Jocelyne Grier Jocelyne Grier 5’8″ | CG Winston-Salem Christian National | 2025 State NC was attacking the basket making her opponents foul her to earn some points at the free throw line. She had a solo fast break off a steal that she pushed right up the court. She’s versatile at the guard position being able to handle the ball running point or sliding over into the shooting guard position knowing how to execute plays with her effective cuts and timing.
Highlights
Adason Buoniconti Adason Buoniconti 5’7″ | PG Lake Norman | 2025 State NC controls the tempo for her group handling the ball and playing tight defense. She can attack the gaps finding an open teammate or finish at the rim herself. She had a nice steal at the end of a close game gaining possession and letting her offense get set for some more points.
