As she continues to gain offers, Autumn is ready to take a major leadership role with Eaton this season as their main weapon. Had a good spring, just looking to be a steady threat offensively and she distributed the ball well in July. Knocks down the three, and if she gets on a roll, she could open up a game.

This was the first time she had played on this team within the same club, so it’s just a matter of getting acclimated to the players and the staff. She was the first to admit to me that she did not play her best, but she gave effort, sparked a couple of plays and still knocked down a three. Her energy was strong as she looks to carry that over to lead her high school team this winter.

Her ability to play point and the off guard makes her dangerous. She scored nine points in a row for her team to give them the early lead, has good range has the ability to penetrate to the rim and finish. Defensively she does a nice job on ball, can switch her man and is effective at both ends of the floor. 

She’s had a couple of really big games this year, and had another one in their tournament opener against Meadowdale. 17 points and seven assists for this young lady who has good range, plays the game with heart and can scrap in a physical contest. Looks to have a good summer after a loss to Graham, and then ready for a big senior year!

Gillenwater, who verbally committed to Defiance College for both basketball and soccer, is one determined athlete. It says a lot about Autumn’s character and work ethic, to be recruited to play two college sports. She shows outstanding chemistry with her teammates- and has the skills to pay the bills!

She had a really good second half of the spring season, including several solid scoring performances. Her three-point shot is improving, just needs to continue to work on court IQ. Solid passer with good vision.

Hit 5 threes in her first game of the weekend, quick shooter with good range and handles. Can push tempo and distribute. Still working to strengthen her game and become a better player for the upcoming high school season.

Continuing to work on her game.  Really like her decision making with good court vision. Made the right pass at the right time. Moves well without the ball, can knock down the three. 

Her game continues to grow every time I see her. There are not many kids who work harder and it shows with her confidence. She has good handles and looks to have a very good work ethic. Good three-point range. From what I saw, I expect her contributions to go up this year for her high school! 

One of the hardest working guards I saw during the entire time I was there. She does a good job distributing the ball with good court vision. Moves well without the ball, able to create opportunities for herself and her teammates. As her game continues to grow, I think she will have a very solid sophomore season. Embraces the point guard role very well.
