She is a good athlete who can score around the basket, but she also has the skills to excel on the perimeter, which will make her a future matchup problem for defenses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1872242,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/06/IMG_2754.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1872242" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Terrion Davis ( Staley): A 5'11" 2030 forward who came into the game we watched an immediately started to provide some strength and physical play in the low post.
