AC Rice AC Rice PG Sunlake | 2029 State FL brought excellent energy and embraced the role of a workhorse in addition to handling the rock in rotation. She opened the action with a nice fadeaway jumper in transition, handled the ball comfortably, and applied defensive pressure by picking up opponents the full length of the court. Rice also passed the ball ahead, moved well without the ball, and hustled to save possessions, consistently making high IQ plays on the court.

AC put together a solid freshman campaign on a sneaky good Sunlake team, emerging as one of their primary options across the board for her team. Operating as a quick, shifty lead guard, she plays with pace and confidence and consistently puts pressure on defenses with her ability to change speeds and create separation. AC has shown she can score from all three levels, using strong handles and burst to get downhill while also being capable of finishing or pulling up when defenders collapse. She also brings value as a passer, demonstrating good vision and an understanding of when to distribute versus attack. Her combination of speed, offensive versatility, and floor awareness makes her a natural fit for the expanded rankings and a guard whose game continues to trend upward with experience.

AC made an impact with her ability to create offense off the bounce and stay composed under pressure throughout the games I watched. One of the first plays I saw, she jumped a passing lane for a steal and attacked the other way to get to the free throw line, showing aggressiveness in transition instead of shying away from contact. She consistently got to the rim quickly with her handle, including a strong baseline drive, and finished an impressive euro-step with her left hand around traffic. AC had an impressive weekend all the way from Friday night until Sunday afternoon as one of the most exciting 2029’s in the state.
