A kid who can score it from a consistent clip from all 3 levels. Doesn't matter where she is on the floor; given any space, she is going to find a way to put the ball in the bottom of the net. Taking someone off the dribble or letting it fly from deep, the nest swishes every time this kid shoots the rock. Her numbers are climbing, and she has a full season ahead of her to become one of the top scoring leaders in Hickman Co. history.

This kid is a double-digit scorer every single time she takes the floor. What amazes me is her ability to utilize her body to exploit favorable spots. She's a dynamic guard who can score by taking someone off the dribble, from the catch and shoot position, or by posting up down low and taking advantage of smaller defenders. She fights through the opposition, obtaining and one chances especially down low. She can dial it from deep as well, being a kid who can stretch the floor and exploit a defense's weakness.

One who plays with such confidence, she has added so much to her game since she came on the scene her freshman year. Built differently, she will find ways to score from inside the arc or along the 3-point line. She can take an opponent off the dribble or come down and just pull it from deep; her ability to find the bottom of the net is crazy good. One thing I do enjoy watching her do is be utilized in the screen game. The way she reads the defense from that action is tough, making it hard to contain her. She's a kid whose stock is rising and a tough opponent to scout. Keep tabs on this young lady as she continues to be a force to be reckoned with.
