School: Mercer County

Alexa was a major contributor for Mercer County last season, averaging 12.2 points and pulling down 4.6 rebounds per game. She was a difference-maker on both ends of the floor, and I see an even better junior season in store for her. Alexa also picked up her first college offer this summer from Union Commonwealth University.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
