Mosley a left-handed forward did most of her damage around the cup. Mosley a Hillcrest HS transfer hit a late shot in regulation to put the game into overtime. Mosley will be a nice addition to the Lady Lions roster this season. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-195554" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/08/932AD519-0418-4B35-B700-D14558484815.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="124071" first="Malayziah" last="Etheredge"] - Westwood HS - A’ja Wilson Elite </strong> Etheredge is a very skilled combo guard.
