Ledford closed out the season with 19 made threes to lead all players. Ledford earned First Team All-League honors by averaging a league-high 18 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game. D-III schools should get involved with the valuable combo guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1051331"],"_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-68d02edbc9994"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson County made a statement with back-to-back wins with just seven players, thumping Dawson County 47-20 and pulling away from Denmark 53-35. Drucker stepped up, showcasing improved endurance as she tallied 12 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals against Denmark after posting 10 points, 5 assists and 2 steals against Dawson County. Madelyn sank four threes on the day and had some nice coast-to-coast takes to the rim with her left hand. Drucker earned Third Team All-League honors, tallying 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.3 steals while netting 10 threes across eight games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":1317908,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Amiyah Fambro","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Jackson County","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d02edbc9a3c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Amiyah took full advantage of the Sandy's Spiel Fall League, thrusting herself into the discussion to earn rotational minutes heading into Year 2. Amiyah averaged 3.9 points per game over the season, bookending her campaign with a breakout 10 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 3 steals and 1 block against Dawson County. Fambro, a big-bodied wing, has an innate ability to get downhill. She has a strong frame that can bump defenders off her on her way to the hole. Consistency and quality reps will help Fambro reach her sneaky high ceiling.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974966"],"_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-68d02edbc9a8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It was a throwback performance from [player_tooltip player_id='974966' first='Lilie' last='Vick'] in a pair of wins. Lilie played through the pain to dominate the paint in spurts. Vick collected 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals battling Georgia College-commit [player_tooltip player_id='727045' first='Ava' last='Roberson'] before chipping in 8 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 steals against Denmark. Vick went a perfect 6-6 from the foul line on the day and provided senior leadership with her teaching of teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974968"],"_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-68d02edbc9ad0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Young Harris has begun to show interest in [player_tooltip player_id='974968' first='Ka'Mya' last='Washington'] after watching her energy jolt Jackson County to a pair of double-digit wins. When Washington empties the tank, she can absolutely wreak havoc with her speed, instincts and playmaking. Her strong final week secured her on the All-League Third Team and All-Defensive Team as she averaged 7.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.1 steals per game. Washington racked up 8 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals against Dawson County, highlighted by a step-back three. Against Denmark, Ka'Mya's Energizer Bunny approach led to 12 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals as she attacked full court and looked to dump off to teammates for layups and short corner jumpers.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1244496"],"_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-68d02edbc9b11"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harmony had her best game of the season in support of [player_tooltip player_id='926799' first='Jadyn' last='Shepard'], stepping up big time against Jackson County with her three-point touch. LaMark hurt the defense when they were slow to rotate, swishing three threes in the second half as the Panthers decided to face guard Shepard. LaMark scored all 11 of her points after halftime. The long guard has a nice future as a perimeter scorer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["926799"],"_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-68d02edbc9b50"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coming off a 26-point explosion, Shepard was on fire once again as she scored 14 of Denmark's 20 first half points against Jackson County. Instead of banging home seven threes like the week prior, Jadyn sank just one as she instead attacked downhill. She did a great job getting to her right hand eurostepping between defenders to get to the rim to draw fouls. Shepard went 5-5 from the stripe in the first half. The Lady Panthers elected to face guard Jadyn in the second half, holding her to two points, finishing with a game-high 16. Shepard continues to impress as a well-rounded offensive weapon. Though Denmark finished the league 0-7, Shepard's sterling play landed her on the All-League Second Team by averaging 14.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1 steal with 10 made threes in just four games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["476483"],"_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-68d02edbc9b91"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lolly led North Oconee to the league championship, beating Oconee County 43-33. North Oconee finished the league 6-1; really 6-0 as the middle school team played Week 1 – their only loss. Willis shined in front of Young Harris, posting 15 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. Lolly drilled three threes, hit a mid-range jumper, had a lefty layup and had a physical drive on the left side, finishing with her right hand after she shrugged a defender off her as she created contact. Willis landed on the All-League First Team as she averaged 14 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.4 steals with 9 threes over five games. Laura Frances should be a priority recruit at the D-II level if D-I options don't materialize. Her polish and understanding of the game should allow her to play right away at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
