<p>Wallace really brings pressure to the ball when needed. Rihanna will turn the corner and race to the cup for an easy layup at times. She can keep defenders honest with her mid-range game. She brings fearless mindset and toughness to the floor for the Lady Cavaliers. </p>

<p>Moses has a new address this season over at Berkeley HS after playing at Goose Creek HS last season. Aiyanna really does a nice job of getting the ball into paint. She will change gears and get by defenders. Aiyanna is vocal on the floor and really does a nice job of communicating with her teammates. She seems to be at her best when she gets out and plays fast at times. </p>

<p>McKinney keeps the ball low to the deck. Olivia isn't afraid to sacrifice her body when it comes to taking a charge now and then. She showed to hit the modest mid-range jumper from time to time. McKinney will look to touch the paint and attack the gaps when needed. Can she help the Lady Patriots get back to the Upper State Championship Game again this season? The Lady Patriots lost a heartbreaker to Rock Hill HS last season 52-50 in Florence. </p>

<p>Howard is a back to the basket post player who's best suited in a half court style of play. She has good hands to catch passes thrown in her direction. She will carve out space down low and play through contact at times. </p>

<p>Starks plays over at Lake City HS in the Pee Dee. Na'shira was able to finish around the bucket here today when given the opportunity to shoot the ball. She certainly could have used a few more touches down on the block at times. Her best basketball is still down the road with some more development and skill work. </p>

<p>Wiliams was efficient with her play down low in the paint. Zoe was able to finish with her left-hand at times here today. She understands on how to get position down low and play on the block. Zoe finished a putbacks off the glass. Williams attends Fort Mill HS. </p>

<p>Asbelle helped the Lady Volunteers win a Class 2A State Championship last season. Ni'yonna brings a great overall game to the table. She brings good versatility to playing anywhere on the perimeter. Ni'yonna really has a good feel for the game and seems to be at her best when she has the ball in her hands. She was able to score the ball at times today in transition or dropping some mid-range jumpers. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jhani was effective today finishing in transition, short jumpers and just being active at all times. She plays the game so efficiently when she's on the court. Sumter will finish with either hand around the bucket and she constantly makes herself available to pick up a scoring by being around the ball at all times. Jhani brings good versatility to when it comes to playing on both ends of the court. </p>

<p>Gray made the move over to Berkeley HS from Goose Creek HS this summer. Demi is more of just a guard not a true point or shooting guard. Gray is a good one to have on the floor with her competitive edge at times. She likes to slash to the cup or look to connect on some short jumpers. Demi really plays well around the ball and staying active. Gray and Moses are two very solid additions to the Lady Stags roster this season.</p>

<p><em><strong>Surprise Today:</strong></em> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='658941' first='Clara' last='Powell']</strong> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Clara came out and had a strong showing when Prep Girls Hoops was in attendance today. Powell was able to connect on some three pointers from downtown. She did a nice job of setting her feet and getting a good look at the basket. Clara shot the ball at a good clip today and played very productive for her squad. She attends Clover HS in the Upstate. </p>

<p><strong><em>Plays Every Play to the Fullest: </em>[player_tooltip player_id='366551' first='DaNariyah' last='Williams']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Williams only knows how to play the game one way and that is to the fullest at all times. DaNariyah jumped on the deck for loose balls, collected rebounds through contact and at times finished with a few scratches along the way. She's brings a RELENTLESS attitude to the floor with her work ethic. Williams is at her best around the basket collecting loose change and just outworking players with hustle. She will stuff the stat sheet every night with her overall play. </p>
