Last season, Demmitt averaged 10.2 points per game and 3 5 assists.   [player_tooltip player_id='495944' first='Breanna' last='Evans'] / 5'7 / Gainesville. Evans will look to come from under the radar. Last season she had a few games where she shot 60 percent from the field.   [player_tooltip player_id='219942' first='Reina' last='Green'] / 5'10 / St Thomas Aquinas. Green averaged nearly 5 points per game on a very talented team. She is very fast in the open court.   [player_tooltip player_id='331739' first='Aniya' last='Hall-Mcdowell'] / 5'3 / Andrew Jackson. Hall-McDowell is athletic and plays bigger than 5'3. She is a versatile defender who can defend taller players out on the wing. She plays an in your face defense and usually guards the opposing teams best ball handler. Offensively, Hall-McDowell can score from all levels, but is at her best when getting to the goal. She has the ability to create her on shot and can create for others when the defense double teams her.   [player_tooltip player_id='219943' first='Renita' last='Harris'] / 5'10 / Tampa Catholic. Last season Harris averaged nearly 13 points per game and knocked down 25 three pointers for the season.   [player_tooltip player_id='352604' first='Xaniya' last='Jackson'] / 6'0 / Andrew Jackson. Jackson is that versatile center who can protect the paint and defend the 4 and the 5 positions on the floor. Jackson has a nice game on the inside and can score the basketball. She is exceptional on the glass and has been called a "walking double-double." The bigger the game the better she plays. In addition to skill, she also plays with heart and determination.   [player_tooltip player_id='363458' first='Kamiya' last='Jones'] / 5'5 / Oakleaf. Jones is an aggressive three pointer shooter who can knock them down in flurries. Jones can put the ball down and get to the goal on occasion, but there is no doubt where most of her shots are going to come from - behind the arc.   [player_tooltip player_id='495955' first='Kana' last='Kosaka'] / 5'4 Tampa Prep. Kosaka averaged 8 points per game last season.   [player_tooltip player_id='495940' first='Angelina' last='Kouchis'] / 5'5 / Bartram Trail. Kouchis is another one whose main shot is the long range bomb. Kouchis transferred to Bartram and will fill the void that was left by the departure of Sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='248553' first='Kendall' last='Kane']. Kouchis is a leader on the court who plays with the ball in her hands.   [player_tooltip player_id='352596' first='Paetyn' last='Miller'] / 5' 6 / Ridgeview. Miller plays with the ball in her hands a lot and she is an aggressive three point shooter. She can handle the ball and make plays, but her main objective out there is to put the ball in the basket.   [player_tooltip player_id='495941' first='Arianna' last='Mosley'] / 5'9 / Tampa Prepatory School. Mosley (pictured above) was a standout in last year's Expo, where she put on a defense, offense, and rebounding clinic. Mosley is one of the top scorers in in the State of Florida and she can score from anywhere on the floor. She averaged 30.2 points per game in her Junior season.   [player_tooltip player_id='470419' first='Bryanna' last='Simmonds'] / 5'8 / Deltona. Simmonds was a bona-fide scorer last season averaging nearly 16 points per contest.   [player_tooltip player_id='466471' first='Kyaija' last='Stewart'] / 6'0 / Tampa Catholic. Stewart averaged just over 9 points per game and 7 rebounds last season.   Alexis Taliaferro / 5'8 / Andrew Jackson. Taliaferro is that player on the court who can get you points, rebounds and make hustle plays all game long. She scores primarily in the paint and in transition and knows how to put the ball in the basket.   Amala Vamvakitis / 5'9 / Mount Dora Christian Academy . Vamvakitis has good size and by watching her posted clips, the Senior is strong in the paint (rebounds and scoring). She can also step out and hit the jumper. She has all the characteristics a good stretch-four player. She can create some serious mismatches. Keep your eye on Vamvakitis.
