She impacts the game on both ends with her rebounding, playmaking, and poise under pressure. Expect her to set the tone for the season over the next few months.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='381325' first='Mylie' last='Butler']</strong> (5' 7/PG/2027/Albertville HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: myliebutler1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @MylieButler1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Mylie is another returner and a key leader. She is a really good ball-handler and playmaker who keeps the offense flowing with precision passing and scoring at all three levels. Defensively, she brings energy and quickness that set the pace. Her growth over the past season has been impressive and she is poised for a breakout year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1207455' first='Whitley' last='Booker']</strong> (6'1/F|C/'29/Albertville HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: whitbooker300</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Whitley is a rising freshman to watch and a force in the paint. She provides a strong interior presence with her ability to score around the rim and defend it. She also runs the floor exceptionally well for her size and can stretch the defense with a capable outside shot. Her upside is really high and is a player that we will keep our eyes on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1038993' first='Gracyn' last='Robeson']</strong> (5'7/SG/'27/Albertville HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: gracynrobeson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Gracyn is a sharp-shooting guard who stretches the floor with her range. She has been expanding her game with improved shot creation and movement without the ball, making her a more versatile offensive weapon. Her continued development will be key this season for the Lady Aggies.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Lady Aggies' Identity &amp; Summer Focus</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Coach Smallwood is building a culture rooted in selflessness, discipline, and high character. The Lady Aggies' program philosophy emphasizes “WE &gt; me,” fostering a team-first mentality. They are focused on becoming mentally and physically tough, developing leadership, and playing with energy in a fun, competitive environment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">This summer, the priority is building team chemistry, especially with having to integrate new varsity players, and sharpening execution on both ends of the floor. With a solid foundation and strong leadership, Coach Smallwood believes this group is poised for a promising season of growth and success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Here's Where You Can Find The Lady Aggies In June:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 4th: Hosting a Play Date at Sand Mountain Park and Rec</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 6th: @Samford University</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 9th: @UAB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 12th: @Orange Beach HS&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 17th: @Jacksonville State University</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 20th: @University of Alabama-Huntsville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
