It may not have been the result the Eagles were looking for against Military Magnet’s Eagles – a 53-42 Military Magnet victory – but she led all scorers for that contest with 26 points. Greenwood connected on eight 3-pointers in Friday’s get-together with Military Magnet – six were courtesy of Oliver.

Where her twin sister Cameron is more of a pure point guard, Oliver thrives more at the two – and her accuracy from behind the arc certainly is a trait indicative of two guards. She too was offered by Denmark Tech. Defensively, Oliver can also be a task for opposing ball handlers to dribble around. In addition, she maintains active hands on defense which can clog up an opposing team’s passing lanes. She can also get creative and crafty at times with how she moves with the ball in her hand. Oliver is fresh off a season where she averaged 21.5 points, five steals, 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists per contest.
