I watched Naomi in the Pikesville fall league and she is ready to step into a big role at Roland Park. She is already one of the best shooters in the area and plays fearlessly. She will have some growing pains in the tough IAAM A conference, but she’s a baller so she will be fine. She can play on and off the ball, has a deep range and can finish in the paint.
Brooklyn was sought after by many public and private schools and Roland Park landed her. She is a versatile combo guard with a polished game and competitive spirit. She is a deadly shooter from deep and plays a high IQ game. She should step right into a big role as well with the Reds.

Jaelyn has some nice size at 5’11” and will probably play out of position due to a lack of size at Mt. Hebron. She is a slasher and has a knack for scoring in the paint. Her shot form looks good, and she has a nice touch around the basket. I really like her defensive work. She looks like she can be a defensive specialist that can guard multiple positions with her length and athleticism. With continued skill development she could be a top guard in her class by her senior season.

Olivia is one of a trio of freshman guards that will enter the rotation at Roland Park. She has the most size and defensive versatility of the three. She’s good in catch and shoot situations and can put the ball on the floor to attack close outs. She has good footwork on defense and fights through screens.
London is an electrifying player with the ball in her hands. She is super athletic and explosive and plays with poise. She has an excellent first step and gets into the paint at will where she can finish or deliver accurate passes to her teammates.
Jada is a smooth combo guard that can make shots from all over the court. She has good length, good instincts and doesn’t get sped up. Her natural poise will come in handy in the tough IAAM conference.
