is a high tempo guard who constantly pushes the ball up the court. She can take it coast to coast scoring on fast breaks, or she makes the nice bounce pass right into her teammates’ hands for the bucket. She’s a tough defender using her quickness and IQ to make it difficult for anyone to get the ball by her. The way she can stop quickly helps her create space for her jumper.

Although Amya may have not been able to get some of her looks to fall, she still was vital as a ball handling guard to help her team stay in the game. Lake Norman’s high pressure defense, causes problems for every guard. Teams must have fast, high octane guards that can move the ball through traffic and distribute quickly before the defense has a change to get home. This played a big role in keeping her team in the game and giving them a chance to win at the end. She was very good distributing the ball and finding her teammates.

Amya Leathers scored the first basket of the night off her steal, and the next defensive play she stole the ball again kicking it out to her teammate for a three pointer. She knew how to get the right angle for her passes inside hitting her teammates’ hands. She was attacking the basket blowing by her defenders and pushing through contact to score some points. She was working without the basketball finding the open lane on her cuts to the basket on fast breaks.

Last month, Leathers approached a milestone in her career when she received an offer from Clark Atlanta. The HBCU Panthers have had reason to like what they have observed from Leathers over the years. She has also competed in track and field events in addition to basketball. Leathers can operate at either of the guard positions in the backcourt. During the AAU months, she has worn the uniform of Team United – while playing up in class on their 17U team. Leathers plays for one of the premier girls teams in North Carolina in the Ragin’ Bulls – and that is sure to continue to do wonders for her recruiting.

There is just something special about watching Amya play the PG position. She has a very quick first step which allows her to get where she wants to go. She can use her speed to get to the rim and she can lead the fast break. She is also able to slow the game down run the half court set when she needs to.

Amya Leathers seemed to be all over the court constantly moving on offense to get open. She had a nice drive to the basket scoring through contact and making an old fashioned three point play. She was smart with the ball protecting the possession knowing when to make a pass or score herself on fast breaks. She was facilitating a lot of plays finding her open teammates for their points. She makes nice adjustments with her body catching a pass in transition and putting it right back up for some points.
