[player_tooltip player_id='636390' first='Andrea' last='Flores'] in being one of the best players in her class, has a lot to do with her perimeter jumper.   Last season, Flores penalized teams on the regular for giving her any space for a three-point shot. She had a multitude of games with five or more mad threes in a game. Against Tennessee and Watauga High School, she combined for 17 made threes. Flores does this all at the size of 5'11". She is extremely agile and athletic, and that also shows up on the defensive end.   Flores, with her size on most occasions, can guard positions one through five on defense. She has also shown the capability to force turnovers at a large volume. Last year against Dobyns-Bennett High School, she had a total of nine steals in the game.     For Greenville High School, [player_tooltip player_id='515029' first='Brylee' last='Tullock'] has had a great start to 2025.   In a game against Bearden High School this year, she displayed her ability to take over games. She had 23 points, 13 rebounds, and four assists in the contest. One thing that stands out about Tullock's game is her overall skill. She maneuvers well on the court and can score in tough scenarios.   This ability of hers was shown against Sullivan East High School, where she went from one side of the court to the other and converted a fastbreak layup in traffic with her non-dominant hand.     [player_tooltip player_id='1134533' first='Brooke' last='Nelson'] has established herself as a great defender at the guard position once again this year.   In two games against Cumberland Gap and Unicoi High School, Nelson had a combined nine steals. She does a great job at reading passing lanes, which is one of the main factors making her a great steal threat.   On offense, Nelson is a good fastbreak scorer as well as a perimeter shooter. The balance between these two traits of her game can make her a tough guard for opposing players.     [player_tooltip player_id='907566' first='Maria' last='Lyde'] has been a lethal defender this year as well as an inside scorer for Greeneville High School.   She had a big scoring night not too long ago, showcasing her interior scoring prowess throughout the contest against Sullivan East High School. In the game, Lyde scored 22 points.   Lyde, on the defensive side of things, has been a staple in Greeneville's defense overall. She has great lateral movement and overall strength as a player. The combo of these two traits makes her both a great perimeter and interior defender. She displayed her interior defensive skills against Sevier County in a game this year, where she had three blocks.     [player_tooltip player_id='904873' first='Brookelyn' last='Roach'], this season has been consistent in making a positive impact for Grainger High School.   Roach was a great defender last year in her freshman season, and that has carried over early into her sophomore season. She has been great in the steal department. Roach has had a couple of games already this year with two or more steals.   On offense, Roach has been a good transition scorer as well as a great playmaker for her team. She showed off her versatility as a player in a game against Daniel Boone High School this season. In the game, she had 10 points, five rebounds, and six assists.
