She is averaging right at 3 assists, and 8 points per game! She is a quick guard with a high basketball IQ. She is one of the do-it-all kids. She is a great on ball defender! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Guice is playing up, and she can hang with the best of them! She continues to prove why she is one of the best '27s in the state. A complete, all-around athlete! She's a great two-way player. She is averaging 12 points, and 6 rebounds! She is also shooting 41% from 3! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stewart continues to play at a high level! She is scoring over 14 points per game and she is averaging 4.5 rebounds per game, and 3 assists per game! She has a quick release, and she doesn't need much space to let it fly. She is shooting 49% from the field, and 50% from long range! <br><br>Larkin is the PA kid that brings it every game! She competes with great energy on both sides of the floor. She has a non-stop motor. She is extremely unselfish! She currently leads the team in assists! She knows exactly how to facilitate the rock, and get her teammates in position to score! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coach stated, "All 8 players are solid contributors and would make any college program better!"
