This foursome rarely leaves the floor for the Lady Titans. Legette, Pitts and [player_tooltip player_id='355927' first='Saleese' last='Kind'] are all UNSIGNED Seniors. Legette can play both guard positions in the backcourt while dialing in from long distance. She plays the game always under control and smooth out top. Pitts is combo forward for the Lady Titans but generally seems to be at her best while down in the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1116795,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/12/eZy-Watermark_20-12-2024_09-58-51-7960PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1116795" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='355927' first='Saleese' last='Kind']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='369800' first='Autumn' last='Kind']</strong> both have stepped on different occasions this season to lead the team in scoring. Saleese constantly plays around the ball while Autumn rebounds the ball well traffic and has learned to play face-up out in the corners. With a very small roster and bench this foursome sees plenty of minutes each night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 - <strong>Heathwood Hall</strong> (4-3) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Losses: Trinity Collegiate 62-56, Andrew Jackson HS (Kershaw) 55-45 and Dutch Fork HS 72-62 </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wins: Legion Collegiate 63-60 and Ridge View HS 54-50 </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1119257,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/12/eZy-Watermark_23-12-2024_04-50-04-8300PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1119257" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='185040' first='Lauren' last='Jacobs']</strong> will play at Ole Miss next season in the SEC Conference.
