<p class="text-gray-700">Hayden is a dynamic guard who brings speed, high IQ, and great control of pace to the court. She can speed things up, which speeds up opposing players and lets her find open gaps to attack and get buckets smoothly. She knocks down jumpers too, so defenders need to stay on their toes when defending her. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ayla is a high rising player in the state and took a big jump in the rankings this recent update. She is a fantastic all-around player with a smooth jumper and elite handles, being able to break down defenders to get open looks. She can dish nice passes to open teammates too, having solid vision out there. She plays great defense too as she showcases elite agility/lateral movement. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Taylor is a player who could potentially continue to rise as the season gets underway. She is a fantastic shooter, having confidence to shoot it off the dribble or off a pass from a teammate. She can handle it nicely too, being able to create for herself and for her teammates as well. She is poised for a big season this year for Richland. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Millicent is a player who goes 100% on the court on both ends of the court and makes impactful plays for her team. She is a great defender, moving her feet quickly and being able to keep opposing players in front of her. She rebounds well too as she is always crashing the boards and being able to use her strength to out-body players. </p>
