was featured in a handful of contests last season throughout her Freshman year. This is noteworthy for a few reasons but mainly because this was a competitive 5A group within the State picture as a whole. They return this season with some more experience and that could help them make another big run come Playoff time if they play their cards right. As for Newman, this is a 6’1 Forward, who is starting to come into her own. She has great size for her position, she has balanced coordination when the rock is thrown her way, her footwork is notable, she communicates well with those around her, and she is knowledgeable enough to know how to impact an opponents shot attempts without fouling a majority of the time. If you look at Newman as a whole prospect right now she has a high ceiling. She should show up this Winter on both ends for the Jaguars in some major ways. She just needs to lock in, trust in her work, and the rest will play itself out how it should.
