Hawks earned Class 1 Player of the Year honors after establishing herself as the most impactful player in the classification, anchoring Galax with her size, versatility, and two-way presence. The freshman consistently delivered in big moments, including a 31-point regional championship performance and a double-double in the state semifinals. In the state title game, she made her presence felt on both ends with 12 points and 9 rebounds, impacting the game as a rebounder, rim protector, and perimeter threat. Her ability to stretch the floor as a knockdown shooter while also dominating the paint makes her a matchup problem at every level. Despite her age, Hawks plays with poise and physicality beyond her years, solidifying her as one of the top young prospects in the state.
