Ava Raymond
Ava Raymond
Ava Raymond uses her 5’9 frame well as she scores and defend at a high level. She is very effective from all three levels. Ava gets plenty of elevation on her shot, which makes her midrange almost unguardable. She plays with a consistent motor every minute she’s on the floor. One play she out jumped everyone for the offensive rebound and finished a tough and 1 bucket.
Tyanna Stewart Tyanna Stewart 5’9″ | CG Vandebilt Catholic | 2026 State LA is relentless on offense and defense. She pressured opposing players on defense forcing a multitude of turnovers. Tyanna rebounds well and finishes over bigger defenders with ease. She also has a great jumper as she hit many midranges and 3 pointers over the weekend.
Highlights
Alyssa Hillard Alyssa Hillard 5’8″ | CG Ponchatoula | 2025 LA brings energy for the whole game. She is automatic from the mid-range. One play she drove baseline, then hit a tough turnaround jumper over good defense. Alyssa finishes strong through contact with either hand. On defense she is a pest. She doesn’t give up any separation causing opponents to turn the ball over.
Garylon Brown
Garylon Brown
Garylon is an athletic slasher. She attacks the basket hard and finishes through contact. She also creates scoring opportunities for her teammates by forcing the defense to collapse and finding open players.
Makayla Charles Makayla Charles 5’8″ | CG Vandebilt Catholic | 2025 State LA is a tough physical guard. She recently committed to Nicholls State. Makayla does it all. She out-rebounds taller players and finishes at the rim well. She’s a 3 level scorer who can create for her teammates. On defense she is a great defender and plays the passing lanes well.
Asia Patin Asia Patin 5’6″ | PG Southern Lab | 2026 State LA is one of the best two-way players in the state. On offense she handles the ball well and creates scoring opportunities for herself and teammates. She could not be guarded one on one as she shifted her opponents and finished at the rim. Asia showed a sweet jumper as she made several pull up jumpers in transition. On defense she suffocates her opponents. One game she had 3 consecutive steals in lass than 10 seconds.
