She continues to impress me with how proficient she is from behind the arc. Not only is she efficient finding and making shots from outside, but she has a pretty sure handle and some quickness that she shows off in quick one or two dribble moves to fake drives and step back or side step defenders. She’ll be a key player for Bellevue this winter as a floor spacer but don’t underestimate her ability to put it on the floor and attack.

She shot the ball extremely well from 3-point range and was pretty much lights out from deep to start the day off. Did a great job staying low on the attack to quickly change directions, burst out of dribble moves, and blow by her defender. Showed a pretty multi-dimensional offensive game with her shooting and ability to create off the dribble.

Athena was one of the top players throughout the entire day. She has strong handles, being quick with the ball and getting downhill well all day. She hit jumpers throughout the whole day, hitting a ton of pull up jumpers when the defense wasn’t expecting it. She has a smooth lefty floater through the paint and showed good change of pace on the offensive side of the ball.

Athena is super dynamic on the offensive end and can break down her defender in so many ways. She has a great handle on the ball, and can use those skills to either blow by her defender and get into the paint, or find space to hit a jumper. The effort she gives on the defensive end is also noticeable and shows she can make a difference without the ball as well. Watch out for Athena to be making a ton of great plays going forward.
