Last season would see 5A Division 1 Ridge View look to former 4A Lower Richland coach Aaron Lucas to assume the reins with the Blazers after Terrence Gibson left for 4A Brookland-Cayce. It was only fitting one of Lucas’ former Diamond Hornets would follow him to View County. Foster helped propel the Blazers to a second-place finish in its region – only behind a Blythewood team that repeated at 5A Division 1 state champions. Foster would average 7.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game. The 5-foot-8 combo guard was one of four from Ridge View’s 2027 class on this past season’s Blazers roster.  

The second matchup on the four-game day included a contest of 5A Division 1 combatants. It was all Ridge View, all the time as evidenced by the Blazers’ 55-31 victory over the Swamp Foxes of Ashley Ridge. Foster led the Blazers’ stampede with 12 points. She displays her fearlessness with her willingness to attack even if a sea of opposing defenders are waiting for her in the paint. Foster also gives a 3-point shooting dimension to a team’s offensive efforts. Rebounding is also a strong point of her game as is ball-handling and making plays in transition. Foster is one of four juniors on this season’s Blazers version.

Foster made the move up from 48 to 43 this time around. The left-handed Foster doesn’t put up huge numbers at all. Mikayla brings ability to work on both ends of the court with constant hustle and her ability to do some of the little things.

Forster will jump on the deck, grab a loose ball, make a extra pass and bring hustle at all times. She’s a very instrumental part of the Lady Diamond Hornets plans moving forward down in Hopkins.

Foster a left-handed combo guard is just another piece of the puzzle here for the Diamond Hornets. Mikayla fits into this roster very nicely and she doesn’t have to be the focal point with her play. She can knockdown shots from the perimeter when needed. Mikayla brings a good presence to the floor when it comes to being a solid on the ball defender. Mikayla has the ability to lead the Diamond Hornets on any given night with her play.
