Jackson was part of a 5A Rock Hill team that concluded last season with a record of 18-9. She was one of two from the middle school ranks on last season’s Bearcats team and one can count on her development improving under the tutelage of coach Kenny Orr. She has spent the last couple of months running with Charlotte Dream Elite for her grassroots schedule. In addition to hoops, Jackson has also played flag football at Dutchman Creek MS. She played up in class in the 15U division during last month’s live period at the Live at LakePoint in Georgia. Jackson competed in 26 games last season at Rock Hill.

The 15U division at this past weekend’s Southeast Kickoff utilized a showcase format as opposed to a bracket one. Despite that, Charlotte Dream Elite 14U’s matchup with Fire Ball Basketball Academy was a de facto championship game given both squads were unbeaten going into that matchup. Jackson giving Charlotte Dream Elite 14U key minutes were integral in what became a 27-point win. She was one of two middle schoolers on this past season’s roster for coach Kenny Orr at 5A Division 1 Rock Hill. Jackson can find minutes either as a guard or a forward and has plenty of speed with an ability to find attacking lanes to the basket with strong finishes at the cup.

Jackson represents the future of the program at Rock Hill. She competed in 26 games this past season for coach Kenny Orr’s Bearcats and her sporting a Charlotte Dream Elite 14U uniform is an indication that she is loaded with upside. Jackson helped in ensuring her club team would be the lone squad competing in the 15U field that would depart from Hickory with an unblemished record. Jackson does not take plays off and can be a scoring threat either from behind the arc or by attacking the basket. Jackson was one of two middle schoolers that earned roster spots with Rock Hill this past season.
