Avery was hurt for about half of the school season with a foot injury but is finally back in action for Eastern. At 5’8” with a strong build, she plays like a true small forward. Avery is a powerful slasher and strong on the offensive glass, setting up teammates for the fast break. She has strong outlet passes and can finish in the post. Another huge strength is her basketball IQ, knowing how to play off the ball and anticipating as a defender. I’m fascinated by how she gets to the ball immediately after her sister Addie’s shot. That’s some true twin intuition!

Avery is a bit different player than Addison (above), and though Addison jumped out to a hot start as a Freshman, Avery probably had the better Sophomore year. Avery is another nice athlete. She has a hair more size, she’s a bit more physical, and she’s a nice attacking style of athlete. She is a very good pursuing rebounder and rebounds well for her position. She is extremely active, even at the defensive end of the floor, and she flashes quite a bit of versatility.
