<p>Love enters her Senior year as the No. 2 ranked player overall & the No. 1 ranked SG in her class. The All-State Guard (2nd Team 2022) is a three-level scorer who excels in the midrange. Last season (22-23), Love was limited due to an ankle injury, missing roughly 1/4 of the Bears games. Despite the time missed, Love still averaged 10.1 PPG, 6.2 RPG & 2.1 APG in 22 GP.</p>

<p>Villareal, the No. 15 ranked player overall & No. 4 CG in her Class, is a physical player who likes to slash her way to the basket. Excellent at protecting the ball, shielding defenders - uses the body - which leads to fouls drawn and free-throw attempts. As a Junior, Villarreal averaged 11.2 PPG & 1.8 APG in 27 GP for the Lady Knights.</p>
