They play a pretty brand of basketball in which they defend their tails off, and anyone on their squad can lead them in scoring on any given night. (And, if you like 3’s, they shot over 40% from behind the arc for the weekend!) This team is LEGIT good.
Lauren Clark Lauren Clark 5’10” | SG Cumberland Co. | 2027 TN demonstrated being an all around elite athlete with her spectacular court vision, ability to score, and demonstrating how she can guard every position on the court, her rebounding, and her ability to block shots – you don’t want to go one on one with her she’s probably sending your shot into the stands as she did several times this weekend.
Sydney Wilhite Sydney Wilhite 5’9″ | SG Cumberland County | 2027 TN is an ELITE SCORER I have said it time and time again she can flat out score the second she steps on the court. Hard close out on her she will take you to the rim with ease but don’t play off of her because she shoots over 40% from the 3. She is very high energy kid who brings that to the table every game!!
Malea masingale demonstrated how she can flat out SHOOT and not just a catch and shoot player either she is very savvy with the ball and can take you off the bounce and get to the rim or hit a step back 3! Her FG % and 3% was off the charts!
Abby Roberts Abby Roberts 5’9″ | PG Grace Christian Academy | 2027 TN is the calm in the storm. This PG ability to control the speed of the game and lead her team is unmatched did I mention she has the best mid range around … name a better 2027 midrange shooter. I’ll wait … not only did she hit the mid range she was hitting pull up threes and attacking the rim ! She is very hard to guard offensively but she is also a smothering defender on defense.
Highlights
Ellie Beth McDonald is 5’11 guard who demonstrated her ability to pull you to the three but put a smaller guard on her she can post you up with ease … she thrives off her incredibly fast release, moving without the ball, her ability to flash and hit the midrange and incredible post passer ! She uses her body to her advantage and it’s makes her extremely hard to guard. She is a great rebounder for a guard as well.
Highlights
Maggie Kelley is the glue to any team she plays on … she bring high energy and her ability to control the paint really stands out. She really came alive the second two days with her rebounding, steals, diving on the floor for lose balls, her ability to outlet pass and see the floor leads to multiple fast breaks!
Highlights
Kaliyah burden demonstrated her ability to defend at a very high level creating multiple turnovers, she showed her court vision To be spectacular in her ability to pass, and can score on all 3 levels … did I mention how well she rebound for a guard. Offensively defensively she did a great job of getting position and getting rebounds.

Abby Pitman really started to come alive this weekend with her defense, her ability to knock down shots open and contested and she ability to attack the rim using spin moves and reverse layups!
Payton Richmond-Watson Payton Richmond-Watson 6’0″ | C Powell | 2027 TN -Watson is one of the strongest back to the basket players I have coached this young in a while. She has the ability to put someone on their but and score and adds to that with how well she rebounded ! She also pulls the defense out with her ability to step out and shoot as well !! She protects the paint with rebounding and blocking shots !
