She plays on a whole different level- high caliber baller, who can play at any position, score from anywhere, and defend.

Plays with energy, with a high basketball IQ, big time scorer, and gets after it on defense. College coaches, she can without question play at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='636716' first='Kaliyah' last='Barron']- 2025 , East:</strong> I'm impressed with how she finds the open seams to the basket.

She's a play-maker and a bucket! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Catherine Pierce- 2025, Whetstone:</strong> Pierce can play just about anywhere! Knocks down shots from behind the arc, has reliable hands and solid footwork inside, follows her shot, and has no problem grabbing boards! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1229379' first='Javaya' last='Harley']- 2026, Northland:</strong> I love how she has no hesitation taking the deep shots! Nothing but nylon! She reads passes well, and can put up buckets quickly because of her defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Khai'Ann Powell- 2025, Beechcroft:</strong> Powell does a great job on defense, and will pick pockets all day long! With her speed, she finishes well on transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dennie Houston-Williams- 2026, Linden-McKinley: </strong> Dennie has light feet, and does a nice job applying on ball pressure, resulting in steals and fast break opportunities! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
