Adams picks up the game easy in just completing the simple things. Adams is great away from the ball with her ability to seal and box-out while rebounding out of her area. Adams plays quite mature for her age and is only going to get better with game time down the road. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="275338" first="Ariyann" last="Lawton"] - Waccamaw HS (Pawleys Island) (pictured on front)</strong> Lawton recently moved to the Palmetto State from Alaska. Lawton plays in the post but seems versatile enough to play-out on the perimeter. Lawton was able to face-up and drop some short perimeter jumpers along with posting up down low. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-281896" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/8D4541E8-CD59-4796-8FC1-4071151D7B4B.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="264973" first="Molly" last="Smith"] - Hilton Head Christian </strong> Smith helped her high school to SCISA Class 2A State Championship this past season. Smith a left-handed combo guard can knockdown shots from behind arc or by slashing it to the cup. Smith always seems to be shot ready to receive the ball on the floor and shows to have a sweet stroke. Smith has a bright future for the Lady Eagles. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-277712" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/04/0B08CFC5-0FFC-42CC-9509-E96EA698F991.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="250480" first="Jerchel" last="Geathers"] - Georgetown HS </strong> Geathers is just starting to scratch the surface for the Lady Bulldogs. Geathers is very nimble on her feet with her ability to play inside-out at times. Geathers plays down on the coast in Georgetown County at a non traditional basketball powerhouse. Geathers and Lawton both reside in the same county and should have some battles in the years to come with the schools just being 13.5 miles apart. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-277710" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/04/0B742D02-00E4-401A-8AE4-33A2543F381E.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="199242" first="Christyonna" last="Jackson"] - Dutch Fork HS </strong> Jackson has some of the best footwork I have seen all spring long. Jackson moves EXTREMELY WELL around the floor and especially in the paint. Jackson just really plays the game to the fullest and still looks to be improving every time out. Jackson runs on the Grassroots Circuit with SC Future.
