Crowley was arguably the most efficient paint scorer in the 15U division. She consistently established a deep position, utilized exceptional footwork, and converted scoring opportunities all weekend long. The young forward was confident and crafty – whether finishing off the glass, attacking the rim, knocking down short mid-range jumpers, or powering through contact. One of her most impressive skill sets is coming to a controlled jump stop, creating space, and finishing with great efficiency- sometimes clean looks and other times through physicality. Once she gained leverage, defenders rarely had an answer. Crowley also impacted the game defensively, using her strength and mobility to defend in the paint while showing the ability to step out and guard on the perimeter. Combining touch, basketball IQ, physicality, balance, and arguably the best footwork in the division, she established herself as one of the top post players at the Brawl at the Palms.

Crowley’s freshman season with Hardaway was a banner one as the Hawks made a trip to Macon for this past season’s 2A state championship against Murray County. She played in 30 games this past season as a Hawk and averaged 11.1 points, six rebounds and 1.4 steals per contest. She is very communicative on court and displays many of the leadership skills more commonly found in seniors and juniors. Crowley does the big things – and the little things – that will get a team in the win column such as diving for 50-50 balls. She does not shy away from contact that can place her at the free throw line and places as much emphasis on putting her teammates in position to make plays as she does actually making said plays. 

Has stepped up as Hardaway’s top option with Rhianna Boynton Rhianna Boynton 6'0" | PF Hardaway | 2027 State GA injured. Leads the Hawks in scoring at 12 points per game while adding 6.3 rebounds. Scores in the paint, crashes the glass and is growing as a three-point shooter.
