The Sun Devils return <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='873913' first='Victoria' last='Vuyiv']</strong> 16.8 ppg and <strong>Emily Easterlin</strong> 15.3 ppg back to the lineup this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>First Baptist</strong> - The Lady Hurricanes have plenty of talent back this season for Head Coach Presley Singleton. Senior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='255966' first='Yannah' last='Seaberry']</strong> is the leader of this squad. Seaberry guard and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='197058' first='Dior' last='Brown']</strong> will hold down the backcourt with freshman guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='403039' first='Gabby' last='Moore']</strong>. Sophomore forward <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='451803' first='Ava' last='Rush']</strong> has made it over from Oceanside Collegiate to join the purple and white this season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='479507' first='Maddy' last='Hawes']</strong> will play down in the paint this season for the Lady Hurricanes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":671716,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/6154096B-7DE1-44D6-B6E3-BC23A37A2E8F.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-671716" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seaberry can score the rock from the backcourt and has no problems creating her own shot. Yannah really likes to find ways to score the ball if that means hitting a jumper, finishing at the rim with a nice up and under or simply breaking out in transition for a cheapie at times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown is quick end to end on the floor. Dior is a pass first guard who really likes to get her teammates involved. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":671711,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/D26B1B2B-4E60-45B4-B4D9-00E1742A3EA6.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-671711" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moore just a freshman feels most comfortable running the show from out top. Gabby plays very mature for her age and really understands the game. She's constantly in communication with her teammates on and off the floor. Gabby will attack the gaps and really touch the paint well at times. She can knockdown open shots without a doubt. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":671718,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/0488E73A-EBB4-4DC6-BD89-F4A67E8FD7DB.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-671718" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rush is a nice outside threat from the perimeter and behind the three-point line. She has good length to be disruptive in the passing lanes and gives the Hurricanes a ball-handler in the backcourt at times. Ava will rebound the ball well especially outside of her area. She brings a great work ethic to the floor. She ran with Team Curry this past summer on the Grassroots Circuit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":671719,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/67666F77-7924-47C1-ACAA-CA34AE402631.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-671719" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hawes is a left-handed post player who likes to play with her back to the basket. Maddy will carve oust space down low and really shows to have a nice set of hands by collecting everything thrown in her direction. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":659570,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/17D8B545-A620-4960-B3BC-E01998B0F4C7.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-659570" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Palmetto Christian Academy (Mount Pleasant)</strong> - The Lady Fighting Eagles will rely on <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='255967' first='Cokey' last='Suddeth']</strong> to lead the way this season in SCISA Class 3A. Suddeth has really developed her game to the perimeter more this past season especially on the Grassroots Circuit. Cokey excels on the volleyball and basketball court for Palmetto Christian Academy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cokey moves very well without the ball in her hands and always remains active on the floor. She has extended her game to the three-point line and seems to be a very liable threat from the perimeter now. She went over 1,000 career points last season for the Lady Fighting Eagles. Who will step up and help her on this roster this coming season? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":551498,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/11/784BC128-F09B-4C9F-B618-AF9A1A6B08D7-scaled.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-551498" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Porter Gaud</strong> - The Lady Cyclones have some solid players back to lead the way for Head Coach Kevin Ziman. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='459607' first='Leah' last='Creaturo']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='460544' first='Perry' last='Chambers']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='460545' first='Grayson' last='Hariri']</strong> all return this season. Creaturo and Chambers hold down the middle for the Lady Cyclones. Creaturo will look to rebound on both ends of the floor and simply contest shots on the defensive end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":659603,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/DAC8DD3C-4F2E-4289-A268-B2D27176F155.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-659603" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chambers is a long and rangy athlete who likes to play face-up to the basket. Perry can knockdown the short corner jumpers and plays very comfortable as a pick and pop stretch forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":563484,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/12/IMG_9494-scaled-crop-2285x1500-1657657760.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-563484" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hariri brings some toughness to the floor with her willingness to jump on the deck and play very blue-collar basketball at times. Grayson is willing to defend on the ball and take a charge from time to time. She will manufacture points and opportunities on just hustle alone each night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
