The most efficient prospect being Guard, Abigale Nicholson Abigale Nicholson 5'4" | PG Paxton | 2024 NE . Nicholson is a Senior with quick hands and feet. She is someone that moves effortlessly down the floor and excels in the open space off of the dribble. She capped on this game with a 17 point performance on 4/6 shooting from the field. There are a few players that I could have talked about from this one but the most efficient was definitely Nicholson. This team effort is something of beauty. If they keep it going, they are going to continue to like their results moving closer and closer to the State Title game.

Paxton High School has kicked off their season with a 9-5 record throughout their first 14 games. A lot of their success can be attributed to the play and leadership of their upperclassmen group. One of the most important players out of this group being Guard, Abigale Nicholson Abigale Nicholson 5'4" | PG Paxton | 2024 NE . Nicholson is a quick moving and fundamental player with the basketball. She is the type of competitor that I would ask to pick up her opponent in the full court on defense, creating a lot of chaos and havoc. Her mixture of fast pace and active hands lead to a lot of tips/deflection, which then lead to buckets on the other side of the floor. As of most recent, Nicholson has put together some more consistent games. She is scoring at a high rate on limited shot attempts, while being a willing and able passer in the open court. There is a lot more I could say about Nicholson and this group but I think their game is going to do the talking the rest of the way this season, so make sure you are paying attention.
