About Amani
Expert Analysis
Jill Dunn | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
A very solid defender on the ball. Amani does a great job of disrupting the offense by literally just pick pocketing the ball handler. She also anticipates well and jumps in front of the passing lanes when she is one pass away in denial. She gets a lot of points off transition buckets. Sides can also score by slashing through the lane and spotting up beyond the arc.

runs the floor well making smart passes up the court or making herself available for some passes on fast breaks. She’s quick with the ball using ball fakes to create some space and get the pass to her teammates. She was constantly moving finding the openings and pushing the tempo for her team.

Back to the Greensboro area here. Standing at a height of 5-foot-4, Sides will be a worthwhile addition to a Northwest Guilford team that had another winning season during the Haley Hackett era. The Vikings finished 2023-24 with a mark of 19-8 not to mention a record of 12-3 in its 4A Metro Conference. Northwest Guilford only graduated three seniors from last season’s team meaning the transition into the high school ranks should be a bit smoother than it is for many coming out of middle school. Sides’ hoops career has included playing at Summerfield Charter School and on the AAU level with FBC Drive.
