She will look to overpower defenders going to the bucket at times. Naydia collected a double-double this past season for the Lady Blazers. She likes to have the ball in her hands if it comes to being out on the perimeter while driving to the bucket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":934029,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/06/eZy-Watermark_19-06-2024_09-15-44-7600PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-934029" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='800460' first='Harmony' last='Bostick']</strong> - South Florence HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bostick is playing up a few age groups with [program_tooltip program_id='1238615' first='One' last='Force Academy']. Harmony is a member of the 2029 Palmetto State Class. She can impact a game on both ends of the court. Harmony will alter and challenge shots on the defensive end. Harmony finishes at a good clip around the bucket on putbacks. She fills the lane in transition and really does a nice job of cleaning up on the glass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='662509' first='Amari' last='Gamble']</strong> - South Florence HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gamble likes to set up shop out on the perimeter as a designated shooter for the purple and gold. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1183208,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/02/eZy-Watermark_06-02-2025_05-57-07-2760AM-1.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1183208" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='821381' first='Zaniya' last='Blackmon']</strong> - Atlantic Collegiate Academy </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blackmon a point guard likes to get downhill to the bucket with the ball.
