<p class="text-gray-700">Coming off a state championship season, Jones returns as a versatile playmaker who can impact the game as both a scorer and facilitator. She scores at all three levels, using her quick release beyond the arc, change of pace, and footwork to create opportunities against defenders. Her court vision, patience with the ball, and ability to make the right reads allow her to generate offense for herself and her teammates as Osbourn Park looks to build on last season's success.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">After missing last season due to injury, Cherry is preparing to make her return and provide Colgan with a much-needed interior presence. She brings good size, strength, and athleticism, using her physicality to establish position in the low block and create scoring opportunities around the basket. Defensively, her length and active hands allow her to disrupt shots in the paint, giving Colgan another option to protect the interior.</p>

<p>Coffer enters her junior season after a productive offseason competing on the EYBL circuit with Boo Williams, building strength in the gym, and putting in extra work to sharpen her shooting and overall skill set. The poised floor general handles defensive pressure with composure, changes speeds effectively, and uses her court vision to create scoring opportunities for herself and her teammates. Her ability to score at all three levels, control the tempo, and anticipate plays defensively makes her a key piece of Woodbridge's backcourt.</p>

<p>Person has continued to elevate her game through offseason training and competition on the Nike circuit with Team Melo. She has dedicated time in the gym to improving her shooting and ball-handling, adding to her ability to attack the basket, finish through contact, and score at all three levels. Her length and athleticism also make her effective defensively, allowing her to contest shots, disrupt passing lanes and turn stops into transition opportunities.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lawhorne brings physicality and a strong presence on the glass, creating second-chance opportunities for Gainesville. She uses effective positioning and box-outs to secure rebounds, keeps possessions alive with timely passes, and shows good touch around the basket. Her ability to draw contact, convert at the free-throw line, and make smart decisions within the offense adds value to her team's interior play.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Holland enters her junior season looking to take on a larger role. She is a smooth ball handler who plays with composure, pushes the pace in transition, and distributes the ball effectively to create opportunities for her teammates. Her ability to get downhill, knock down mid-range jumpers, and apply pressure defensively gives Gainesville another capable option in the backcourt.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Leonard enters her junior season with an opportunity to take on more leadership responsibilities for Colgan. She is a confident perimeter shooter who moves well without the ball, finds open space, and knocks down catch-and-shoot threes from the wing and corner. Her ability to attack open lanes, contribute on the glass, and make unselfish passes adds to her versatility as a two-way player.</p>
