Leilani Washington Leilani Washington 5'6" | CG Nolensville | 2025 State TN (5’9/Jr./G)– She is the X factor for this ball club. Plays with speed and tenacity, this girl has an engine on her. A multi-level scoring threat, she is a beast when it comes to the game of basketball. She allows her defense to become her offense, using her speed and quick hands to create turnovers. She gets downhill with the basketball, finishing strong against contact. She’s a nuisance, frustrating opponents the full length of the floor. Leilani has had a phenomenal offseason, capturing the eyes of collegiate coaches. They loved her hustle and speed, her ability to rally her troops, and just the way she plays the game. Look for her to take that momentum of hers into the HS season and be one of the top players in the area.

(5’7/Fr./G)– This girl’s stock is on the rise. She’s an athlete who is a fierce competitor. A 3-level scoring threat, she has a smooth shot that she unleashes from beyond the arc and the 15ft range. She can get downhill, challenging bigger girls on the way to the cup. Has a high basketball IQ, she sees the floor well, making timely passes. Incredible on the defensive end, she looks to poke balls away or get deflections, leading to transitional buckets. This summer, she took huge strides competing in the

ball club. Her confidence is high and I expect her stock to continue on an upwards trajectory. When it’s all said and done, she’s going to be a special kid that will have donned the Lady Knights jersey.

(5’10/So./F)– Solid contributor who can shoot the ball. Confident in her ability, this young lady competes every possession. She doesn’t leave nothing to chance, leaving every ounce of her ability on the floor. She’s the kid who will be listed in multiple stat categories, doing whatever she can to help her team win. An unselfish player who takes pride in the small details of the game. Look for her to continue to get better and contribute to this Lady Knights attack.
