Ava has picked up some offers along the way from Coastal Carolina University, Furman, Marshall University and West Georgia. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rush a long and rangy forward plays her best basketball out on the perimeter. She has the ability to dial in from downtown or look to drive to the rack at time from the wing. Ava averaged 11.8 ppg, 8.7 rebounds and 2.2 blocks last season for the Lady Hurricanes. She has the ability to alter and block shots down in the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ava runs the floor very well and does a nice job of filling the lane in transition. Can she help the Lady Hurricanes get past the likes of Heathwood Hall and Northwood Academy this season in SCISA Class 4A? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["445531"],"_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-67346f9e19601"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Autumn jumped up a few spots this time around from #13 to #10 in this latest update. She does a nice job of sealing off defenders down low on the block. Autumn will look to work both sides of the paint and around the cup with her active footwork. She keeps the ball up high after claiming it off the glass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Autumn averaged 12 ppg last season for the Lady Falcons. She has the ability to step-out to the short corner or the elbow and knockdown the jumper. Autumn plays the relentless on the glass and does a nice job of rebounding the ball outside of her area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Look for Autumn and the Lady Falcons to make surprise some folks this coming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["567026"],"_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-67346f9e19659"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shiriah made the move from #21 to #16 in this latest updated set of 2026 Palmetto State Rankings. Harris averaged 18.7 ppg and 7.2 rebounds last season for the Lady Indians in the Upstate. Shiriah a combo forward can draw defenders away from the basket with her ability to knockdown the open jumper. She will stretch the defense with her shooting ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shiriah has a nice inside-out game when she's not hitting the glass on both ends of the court. Look for her and the Lady Indians to be a strong contender in Class 5A this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["562109"],"_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-67346f9e196ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">House really made some good strides this summer and at the Prep Girls Hoops Expo Carolinas back in September. Naomi plays at a small school in the Pee Dee and really doesn't play much Grassroots ball outside the area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Naomi made the move from #43 to #30 in this latest update of the 2026 Palmetto State Rankings. House feels comfortable stepping out away from the basket and knocking down the mid-range jumper when given the opportunity. Naomi will play with her back to the basket and look to play though contact down in the paint. She has started to figure some things out with her game - but she really needs to get on the Grassroots Circuit and play some competitive ball this coming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["357553"],"_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-67346f9e19700"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moses made the move this off season to head over to Berkeley HS after attending Goose Creek HS. Aiyanna a scrappy and heady point guard really looks to make plays for her teammates while on the floor. She will look to ush the tempo up the floor and especially in transition. Aiyanna has a quick set of hands to create chaos and havoc at times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moses will look to attack the gaps and touch the paint at all times. She really looks to make plays happen while on the floor. Aiyanna made the move up from #44 to #33 this time around here in the 2026 Palmetto State Class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["520657"],"_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-67346f9e19752"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tifre made the move over from River Bluff HS to Northside Christian this season. Chaelyn makes the move up from #75 to #59 this time around. Tifre will join the Lady Crusaders this season in SCISA Class 4A. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chaelyn plays physical down on the block and sure doesn't mind mixing it up at times. She will work to receive the ball down low while posting up with her back to the basket. She can step away for the short jumper from time to time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She will join [player_tooltip player_id='560668' first='Evie' last='Godfrey'] this season as transfers for the Lady Crusaders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
