Savannah Swords
Savannah Swords
Swords is really fun to watch. She has a fluid and natural feel for game. Swords is coming off a productive offseason playing in the U-16 Canadian team this summer. Swords continues to gain confidence as she gets more reps and will look to be a key contributor on a loaded LuHi girls team. She can light it up from the perimeter as a spot up shooter or look to create her own shot. She is an able and willing passer and that skill will continue to develop with several playmakers on the floor at all times. Can take it to the rack and finish through contact. Gets after it on defense in one on one matchups and looks to create turnovers with her active hands.

Tepedino is an dynamic guard who looks to get up and down the floor whenever she can. She is an efficient rebounder on both ends of the floor especially on the offensive boards, timing her jumps well and getting easy putbacks. She sees the floor well and can make all the passes and when to make them. Her handle and first step are hard to guard and she can slash right past for an easy bucket.
