Carrol’s game has developed just at the right speed for this Alcoa’s team’s season. Gwen Carroll Gwen Carroll 5’10” | SF Alcoa | 2026 State TN has always been a tremendous athlete…..now she’s a tremendously athletic and skilled hooper! In the semi-finals dropped a big 16 point, 5 rebound, 3 steal, 2 assits performance….and did all this while playing some of the best perimeter defense you’ll see in East TN.
