Waters brings good versatility to the hardwood. Zy'Kiara really likes to play the game in attack mode. She will look to stalk the baseline or slash to the rack. Waters is still really learning the game with her play but, for sure will have a bright future on the hardwood. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zy'Kaira scored 10 points in the Class 1A State Championship a back in March in the win over Denmark-Olar HS 49-46. She averaged 11 ppg and 5.3 rebounds for the season last year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["668305"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66bc8f52e7259"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blye plays the game HARD at all times while on the floor for the Lady Bears. Jurnee does her best work around the bucket staying active and working for position down low. She surely shows no hesitation at all when it comes to jumping on the deck for a loose ball, grabbing a rebound outside of her area or sacrificing her body for a charge. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jurnee averaged 6.4 ppg and 4.7 rebounds last season for the Lady Bears (19-9). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["843531"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66bc8f52e7296"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Joy and her Lady Viking teammates got back to the Class 1A State Championship for the 3rd straight season. Johnson is more of a specialist on the hardwood for the Lady Vikings. She likes to operate from behind the three-point line to provide production every game. Joy will spot up and receive the ball in the pocket. She has a nice quick release on her shot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Joy is back on a very talented Lady Vikings roster this season for Head Coach Terence Jones. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["355638"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66bc8f52e72e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hilliard plays over in Northern Horry County for the Lady Trojans. Shantavia plays surely off the grid after the Lady Trojans finished (9-15) a season ago. Shantavia averaged 10.3 ppg a season ago. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shantavia has to do a little bit of everything for her squad at times. She doesn't play much at all on the Grassroots Circuit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["848227"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66bc8f52e731d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Lady Raiders finished (20-6) a season ago with Carmyn in the lineup. She really brings good athleticism and length to the floor for the Red and Black. Carmyn a wing player plays the game to the fullest at all times with her competitive edge. She plays active away from the ball and really gets after it in the passing lanes. She will leak out in transition at times for cheapies. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='831284' first='Zaniyah' last='Pelzer']</strong> - Bethune-Bowman HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pelzer was very instrumental in the Lady Mohawks season last year as a freshman.
