played well on Day 2 against one of the top teams in the tournament. Pollard’s long range three pointers were eye opening. Pollard is usually matched against wings, but showed a lot of versatility when she was matched up against a future D1 power forward. Pollard turned some heads with her athleticism and shooting ability.

Pollard’s athleticism jumps off the page, and when she is on the floor she is usually the most athletic player on the court. Her game and skillset also garners a lot of attention on the court: Speed is one of her main assets. She is dangerous in transition and can get up and down the court with quickness and purpose. Pollard has amazing jumping abilities: Her verticle jumping ability is scary impressive. She can elevate and get to the rim off of one foot or two feet. She can back down a defender, use good footwork and create an open shot with great elevation. Pollard can also finish on both sides of the rim with the left and right hand. At Apachee Memorial, Pollard had the full skillset on display. She averaged 15 points per a game against some quality opposition: CFE’s top team, TBW, Brandon Wright’s top team, and Midwest Elite (a top Adidas program that finished 4-1 in the top division). She attacked the rim with a vengeance, rebounded well, led the break and shot the 3 at an incredible rate of 60 percent. Pollard is one of the top unsigned Seniors in the State.
