Mia is coming off a great sophomore campaign and looking to make some noise with Inspire Academy this Spring/Summer. One of the top shooters in Norcal for a reason, Mia can knock down early, often, quickly and from well beyond the H.S line. Can and will attack if overplayed, keeps her head on a swivel for kick-outs and does a good job drawing fouls to get to line. Shown growth year over year in her IQ and toughness with the basketball. Tough shifty guard that plays bigger than she is! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
