FBC ‘ last=’Dynasty Elite’] 17U’s Saturday got off to a rocky start with a loss to Florida-based Premier Girls Basketball 17U. In life – including sports – how one finishes is more important than how one starts. A stellar performance from Leonard ensured her team would close its Saturday at Supreme Courts with a win by virtue of a 38-31 overtime result against THB United 17U. Leonard is an effective interior defender who has a 3-point shot as part of her offensive repertoire. She is also a skilled rebounder who understands how she can help a team by drawing contact and finding her way to the free throw line.

Strong build. Plays both inside and out. Can get downhill on drives. Battles inside for rebounds. Active defender picks up deflections and can block shots.
