Tullock took TN by storm last year as an ultra scoring combo guard. She averaged 22.5 points per game for Davey Crocket as a freshman. Her numbers were absolutely impressive when you look at the volume of shots she put up, and still hit 45% from 2, and most importantly–made 109 3s on 40%. Those efficiency numbers are crazy when D’s are loading up to stop you.
Newman is another who was able to put up big time scoring numbers even as D’s loaded up to get the ball out of her hands. She still averaged 21 pts points (on 62%!) while facing constant double teams. Having more experienced scoring help around her may help Newman keep that 62% number high.

Hassell’s numbers as an 8th grader playing up on varsity were insane: 21 pts on 52% from the floor. I love that she also knocked down 35 3’s at a 47% clip. These efficiency numbers, mixed with 78% from the line, give me every reason to believe Hassell will continue to develop as a perimeter threat. Once she get’s comfortable playing as a guard, she becomes a top ’27 in the country.
Crawford is an electric scoring guard for Dyersburg. Crawford likes to score from the 2nd and 1st level, and averaged 21 points on 44% shooting from mainly 2. But, she did hit 60 3’s last season which should get the D to loosen up a big giving her more room to penetrate and create.

Wilhoit put up INSANE numbers last year as an 8th grade playing up on varsity. She scored nearly 22 points per game. Her 2 pt percentage was only at 43%, put she more than made up for that by shooting 38% on 91 made 3s! She has hit 83% of her FTs on a high-volume, which means she attacks the rim often. Look for this year to break every scoring record at PA.
