If you want a player that will do all of the dirty work and do it well this is your girl. Akayla impressed me in both games by her hard work, intensity and toughness. If there is a loose ball she will be the first one to go get it. She will defend the best player on the court and it doesn’t matter what position they play. Her mentality is I can do it! She also was a great vocal leader on the court and had good basketball knowledge in our team huddles.
