Pearl controls the paint on both ends of the floor with her 6-foot-4 frame. Offensively, she has a soft touch around the basket and polished footwork that allows her to score effectively with her back to the basket. Pearl will continue her basketball career at Niagara University, where her size and interior skill should translate well.

Height with the length Pearl possesses has just can’t be taught. Dickson is a natural rim deterrent plus she secures tons of boards with ease. Her overall control around the paint has major influence and this is why she was an easy choice here.

Dickson was a gem for New Heights in Hamilton, Ohio. Even though already committed to Niagara, her motor was nonstop, she provided stable rim protection, knocked long-range shots down and played strongly with her back to the basket. Pearl has so many tools working for her as influential center.

Pearl recently committed to Niagara University following her upcoming senior season. Around the basket, she can be nearly unstoppable, using her size to score with drop steps, hook shots, and other polished post moves. Her offensive game has continued to expand, showing strong footwork inside while also stepping out to knock down perimeter jumpers when given space.

Pearl was offered from Niagara University a few days ago.

Pearl earned her third All-NEPSAC honor this season and has compiled a 60–20 record over three years, along with two Defensive Player of the Year awards. She consistently dominates in the post, using her size to seal defenders and finish efficiently around the rim. She controls the glass on both ends and maximizes her touches with strong, physical play.

With Pearl patrolling the paint, the Bears held opponents to an average of around 43 ppg. It’s not just the blocks though, it’s her ability to completely change the course of shots. Players can’t just come into the paint with Dickson hanging around.

It can now be said with confidence that Berkshire’s utility big is one of the most powerful frontcourt talents in New England in ’27. Pearl’s name should certainly be mentioned when discussing the better centers around. She’s a force to be reckoned with in the defensive paint, naturally deters an absorbent number of shots and can even add some supplementary scoring in various situations when called for. Dickson’s stability plus constant activity downlow makes opponents second guess everything.
