I was able to catch games on Saturday and Sunday. Here are some 2024 guards that stood out to me from the event.
Marcia Watt Marcia Watt 5’6″ | CG Clover | 2024 State SC was turning her defense into offense stripping the ball from her opponents and pushing it up the court scoring on some solo fast breaks. She was patient letting set plays develop knowing how to time her cuts and get the pass, and she certainly knows how to make a nice dish to her teammates down below. She even got inside to grab some boards, too, extending offensive plays to get more points.
Charlotte Torgerson Charlotte Torgerson 5’7″ | CG Watauga | 2024 State NC has some nice moves with the ball getting inside to put up a floater, and she can attack the paint drawing defenders to open up the court for her teammates. She showed off a nice spin move in the paint losing her defender to get the open look. She can definitely knock down multiple shots each game from around the perimeter, too.
Alissa Cheek Alissa Cheek 5’7″ | SG Rosman | 2024 NC continues to show off her range during this live period event. She slides into the openings and makes it count from around the arc. Her ability to face guard a tough opponent drew an offensive foul gaining the possession for her team which was crucial late in a close game. You can see the IQ she shows on both ends of the court with her decision making.
Highlights
Julie Janus Julie Janus 5’7″ | SG AC Reynolds | 2024 State NC doesn’t stop moving on offense making the most effective cuts to the hoop pulling defenders with her to kick it out to her teammates or score it herself. She follows shots going after rebounds on both ends of the court. She jumped into passing lanes grabbing steals and pushing it up the court for a fast break.
Amiyah Ware Amiyah Ware 5’7″ | CG Winston Salem Christian National | 2024 State NC is constantly making plays on offense getting the pass right to its destination or scoring herself attacking the basket. Her ability to create her own space to get off a shot is fun to watch no matter who is trying to guard her. She anticipates passes well on defense grabbing steals to push the other direction.
Samantha Meyers Samantha Meyers 5’8″ | SG Concord Academy | 2024 NC was scoring on all levels as is her usual M.O. It seems like no matter what court she is on, she knows how to slide around the perimeter and show off her range shooting the ball. She flashes in and out of the paint making nice cuts to get the pass and score some points off her midrange, or she can attack the basket scoring at the rim herself.
Angel Walker Angel Walker 5’4″ | CG High Point Christian Academy | 2024 State NC was all over the court knocking the ball away and saving it to her teammates to gain the possession. She’s quick on both ends exploding to the basket and jumping in front of passes on defense. She even gets inside going after rebounds to push the tempo and get an offensive play going right away.
