Expert Analysis
Brandon Tinnon | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
When I think of this young lady, I just think of a lunch pail kind of gal. Rosie the Riveter. She can do all things and then some. She has put in the work for sure and has flourished over the years. She is a 6’0 wing who is committed to Bryan College. They got a steal in this young lady. Fundamentally sound, she works hard, plays hard, and leaves everything she has on the floor. Talented kid who has set the standard for her program.

One of the top 1A players in the class, she is solid on both ends of the floor. The 6’1 wing can play the 2-4 spots, spot up on the wing, post up on the interior, or utilize her dribble to get to favorable mid-range spots. Super talented when it comes to scoring the basketball. Plays with poise, doesn’t force the issue. Defensively, she is solid. Keeping her opponent in front, uses her length to block shots, establishes herself on the boards, and wins the 50/50 battles. She’s a tenacious player who will do whatever it takes to win a ball game. Look for her to be the leading catalyst for this Lady Raiders squad.

is ranked #45 in our ’25 rankings, but it’s not high enough in my opinion. She was an All-State player last season at Moore County, and had a few huge nights (for example, she dropped an easy 28 points, 12 rebounds, 6 steals, and 4 block game last season). She was a key cog for a Top Gun ’25 team that was sneakkkkkyyyyyyy good this season in exposure ball.
At her size, she’s a match up nightmare for defenses. When she gets into the paint, she’s a crafty, but strong finisher with either hand. When she draw a big, she can stretch the defensive out. Smooth handles, nice vision, and is confident from three. She’s a legit three level score.
She’s also a high level defender that plays hard, hits the glass, and protects the rim well. Holds offers from UT Southern and Sewanee. She’s going to really help some college team.

Great size and isn’t afraid to bang. Picked up a steal and went coast to coast with it flashing high skill level to go with her frame. Impacted the game defensively as well. Really versatile kid.

Graham has been tremendous of late for Moore County. Graham had 28 points, 12 rebounds, six steals, and four blocks in a double overtime win at Huntland. Graham has been a terrific two way player all season, and her ability to be a game-changer on both ends is rare. She then followed that up with a 16 point, ten rebound, six assist, 3 steal and steal block masterpiece is a two point loss to Summertown.

Graham had a nice season last year on her way to averaging 13.6 on 45% shooting. She only made 24 3s on 26% shooting, but the fact she made 70% of her FTs (made 102 total) tells me her touch is soft enough to become a 3pt shooter.

Graham had herself a summer! On the 3SSB Circuit, she was named to the 2nd Team. She’s a long lanky athlete that has not definitive position. Watch her highlights on Twitter and my favorite highlight showcases her diversity: on D she blocks a shot, picks it up off the floor and has the handles and athleticism to dribble from end to end, and then power finishes through a defenders chest. She’s a fantastic mixture of skill and grit; power and grace; inside and out. She’s got a post package that you’d hope for in a 6’0 player, but also has the skills to operate on the perimeter. She’s an exceptionally high-level passer. She’s a great example of modern position-less basketball.
