<p class="text-gray-700"><br>Versatile Stretch Post - Jala faced triple teams at the Jamboree. She is a huge presence on the floor. She can handle the ball in open court to start transition and on the perimeter. She uses a shot fake to attack from the 3 point line. She is a shot blocker and does a great job at walling up on defense. She clears the paint out finding bodies on rebounds. </p>

She woke the gym up with a fast break behind the back assist to one of her teammates. Elyse can create to dish and to get herself shots from the 3 and for a pull up. She has offers from Coppin State, ASU Midsouth, Coastal Georgia, and Loyola Chicago.</p>
