A strong powerful forward that can slash through the paint to score. Amya does a good job of using her strength to make power slide moves to the basket and can even post up when necessary. She runs the floor well for transition buckets. Harrington is a fierce competitor on the boards as well.

Always ready on defense. She applied steady pressure hounding the perimeter; deflected a few shots and locked down to prevent easy buckets. Converted points near the basket off entry and high-low feeds.

is just finishing up her sophomore year of high school with the size and strength that she shows in the paint. She knows when and how to slide in her opponents’ way becoming a wall that they can’t get around. She runs the floor well, too, being ready for the pass in transition scoring off of fast breaks even if she has to battle her way on the block.

was like a brick wall on the block knowing exactly how to step in the way making herself as tall as possible to block shots. Her length always seemed to be causing problems on defense. She runs the floor well being able to sneak up behind guards knocking the ball away from them right when they thought they had an open look to the hoop.

Harrington proved herself to be a valuable piece in what was a winning formula last season for 3A Terry Sanford. In 2023-24, Harrington helped get the Bulldogs to the state championship game against West Rowan. She took to the court in 32 games last season and posted averages of 8.3 points and 7.4 rebounds. While she primarily operates at the three, one can also place Harrington at the power forward position and she will still give a team worthwhile minutes. Her length combined with her height also make her very likely to successfully block an opponent’s shot, she has no problems collecting steals and also will play effective defense on the perimeter. Harrington showcased last year that she is just getting started.
