Another Crimson player, Tolbert is always one of the most impressive players on the floor. She is like a glue type of player who can contribute in big ways on both ends of the floor. She can apply so much pressure defensively and did a great job of coming up with steals on a regular basis. Offensively, she could bring the ball down the floor or play off of the ball, but either way, she made stuff happen. If she wasn’t scoring herself, she was typically creating for her teammates. Like I mentioned above, her team’s only losses this season came to the team that just won the 2023 Girls’ Sweet 16, so she certainly ended her high school career on a high note. She averaged 11 PPG and 2.8 RPG this season. Tolbert will be playing for the University of West Georgia next year.

Tolbert is one of the best point guards in the state and I can say that with confidence. She just brings so much value to the floor. She can handle pressure, she creates, she’s a really strong defender, and she can score at all 3 levels. Tolbert is always so solid and while she’s not always one of the biggest players on the floor, she’s always ready for big moments. She finished the game with 16 points, 7 rebounds, 7 steals, 4 assists, and a block.

I always love watching Tolbert play because her basketball IQ is high and she’ll lay it all out on the court when she plays. I included her with the point guards because she has all of the skills you would want in a point guard, but she actually has the ability to be really effective playing off of the ball as well. She’s got a great shot and if people don’t know her, they’ll look at her size and assume she can’t beat you off of the dribble, but she’s consistently proved that she can beat anyone off of the dribble. Tolbert is such a smart player, so as soon as help comes over, she recognizes where her open teammate is and gets them the ball. She really is solid in all aspects and she’s an invaluable player for the Crimsons.

Tolbert is one of the talented players that Thompson will have around her this season, and she has kind of been the glue to Manual’s team since she started with them. She is such an underrated player. One of the best defenders in the state, Tolbert will take on any challenge that is thrown at her. In fact, I’ve seen her get stops on 6’0+ post players simply by outworking them. Offensively, she’s just as impressive. Her IQ is so high and she can handle pressure so well. Tolbert is really effective playing point guard or off of the ball. She can knock down shots, draw fouls, and finish floaters as well.

Tolbert comes to compete every time she steps on the floor. She’s never one of the biggest players, but there aren’t many players that can impact the game as much as she does. Tolbert is a true 2-way player. She brings intensity on the defensive end and she can apply a lot of pressure to ball handlers. If you relax for even a second, she’s likely going to come away with the steal. Offensively, she can play any guard position and she consistently scores at all 3 levels. Tolbert finds ways to score no matter who’s guarding her. She also has a high IQ and makes some excellent passes.
