Aaniyah was completely dominant in the paint on both ends for Holy Innocents. Defensively, Branch altered and block multiple shots and served as a deterrent inside for the Galloway guards. Aaniyah has obvious physical gifts, but her anticipation and timing on shot blocks and rebounding is very impressive. Her offensive game continues to develop and she looked much more confident finishing around the basket, something she did often. Branch had three offensive rebounds and put backs for six of her points in two quarters. One finish with her left after a quick bounce off the ground showed just how much confidence she has gained scoring the ball. Aaniyah showed her soft hands catching a quick, bullet pass and calmly knocking down a five foot shot from the baseline. Branch’s potential is through the roof and she will be a very high priority for Power Four programs across the country for the next two years.
