I was unfamiliar with Nola entering the 2025-2026 season, but she really stepped up for the Lady Raiders and gave them a primary scoring option, leading the team with a 12.5 point per game average. In addition, she showed off her versatility, as she averaged 6.4 rebounds per game, good enough for second on the team. Also, Nola led the Raiders with averages of 4.3 assists and 3.7 steals per game. She has tremendous length, she might still be growing, plus she’s a fairly fluid/smooth all-around athlete. I am anxious to see how she grows her game with most of her supporting cast returning.

Wapahani has been a sneaky little, small school in producing a really nice prospect or two each year for the last decade or so, and Nola is the next in line to step into the spotlight. She is a really nice, long, wiry athlete who does a lot of everything for the Lady Raiders to help them win. Scoring the ball, she is probably best getting downhill off the dribble or scoring it from the mid-post, but she can occasionally make a 3-pointer and keep the defense honest. Even more, she has playmaking ability and she’s a willing passer. She is averaging 11.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 3.8 steals per game this season.
