As Franklin Central looks to make another strong push this season, her role and consistency will be important. June ball should provide Baker with opportunities to show continued growth offensively and prove she can be a reliable scoring option against top competition.

Ever since I saw Ashlee when she was entering high school, she has been a heady player but also an excellent shooter. She has gotten stronger, and she’s starting to use that strength to get defenders on her hip, get that first step, and pull up to finish through contact. Her balance is really good, and she utilizes a strong base when she shoots it. She has also increased her range outside. I really like where her game is offensively for the next level. Defensively, she takes angles and understands how to read passing lanes.
