The Warriors went 4-3 and saw Team MVP <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='800588' first='Julie' last='Azeltine'] </strong>blossom into a legitimate college prospect, averaging 12.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.5 steals. She parlayed her strong play into winning Class 3A Most Improved Player during the GHSA season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='674568' first='Elizabeth' last='Wynn'] </strong>is picking up steam with her recruitment as well, the 6-foot-2 volleyballer becoming an attractive option for NAIA and D-III programs. <strong>Elizabeth Oechsle </strong>netted 7.3 points per game as a freshman last fall. Don't be surprised if 2029 5-10 guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='991147' first='Ella' last='David'] </strong>gets called up to see some action throughout the season. She scored 13 points against Redline last year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>East Forsyth<br></u></strong>As long as the Broncos stay healthy, expect a strong fall league performance and even better showing during the GHSA regular season. Last season the Broncos went 4-3. An experienced backcourt trio is in place between seniors <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='506254' first='Addison' last='Rouse'], [player_tooltip player_id='506253' first='Ayla' last='Heard'] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='434289' first='Hailey' last='Hiddema'] </strong>who is still working her way back from a knee injury. East Forsyth has a dynamic young frontcourt packed with versatility in 6-foot-1 sophomore <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='726382' first='Hollyn' last='Hicks'] </strong>and 6-foot freshman <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='932004' first='Sophia' last='Beaty']</strong>. Avoiding scoring lulls will be important for the Broncos.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Lanier<br></u></strong>Lanier took their lumps last year at 0-7, but there is plenty of optimism surrounding the Longhorns as a young nucleus is starting to form. Freshman <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1105975' first='Jadyn' last='Morris'] </strong>is an exciting guard that will provide offense and energy. Sophomore <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='785712' first='Michelle' last='Ezumah'] </strong>averaged 8.2 rebounds and led the league in blocks (3.0) per game last season. Junior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='800589' first='Jordan' last='Johnson'] </strong>is Lanier's returning leading scorer, netting 9.6 points per game last Fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Jackson County<br></u></strong>The Lady Panthers will make their debut in the Sandy's Spiel Fall League after a 2-2 showing in GBCA Live and competitive bouts throughout the summer. Twin towers <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1055796' first='Lydia' last='Wolfe'] </strong>and <strong>Lillie Vick </strong>have shown they can control the backboards. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='974968' first='Mya' last='Washington'] </strong>has made an impact with her speed and ability to attack the basket. Freshman <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1051331' first='Madelyn' last='Drucker'] </strong>has a bright future and is the best shooter on the team while <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1055868' first='Maddie' last='Harkins'] </strong>looks to build upon her All-Region selection as a freshman last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
