Around the basket, she demonstrates good footwork and patient, creative finishes, often drawing defenders off fakes before going up with her shot.     Jada, a committed recruit to Bridgewater State University, is a lightning-quick guard who excels in the open court. She had a career-high 22 points and 3 assists against Weymouth in a game where starters sat the fourth quarter. Jada sees the floor exceptionally well, setting up teammates with easy scoring opportunities, and thrives in Brookline's full-court press, generating steals and applying heavy ball pressure.

Anna was a key contributor in the KIT Girls Basketball Tournament championship, finishing with 15 points and 5 rebounds, including 3/9 shooting from three-point range. She can score off the catch or by creating separation off the dribble and is reliable in the mid-range and free-throw line areas against zone defenses. Anna also moves exceptionally well without the ball, finding open space and creating scoring opportunities for herself and her teammates.
