Carson always has her eyes on the rim when she catches the ball and follows through completely after her release, all the way through the net. Whether she’s on-ball or off-ball defensively, she is a threat. And whether she’s shooting off the catch or coming off a screen, if she gets the space, the shot looks good every time. Look for Carson to add to her offers this July.

Carson is one of the best players in the entire Panhandle and not a kid I’ve seen play too often, but she has proved herself this weekend. She has a really smooth stroke from long range and knocked it down in the games I’ve seen. Her frame and size are really solid, and she can bring the ball up the floor as a big PG. Carson did a nice job of creating by getting into the paint and drawing a defender for an easy assist or hitting the jumper herself.

Carson is undoubtedly one of the top players in the Panhandle and deserves to be in these rankings. She led her team to a 21-win season and District Championship behind 19.3 points per game. She’s also the Eagles’ team leader in rebounds (7.5 ppg), assists (3.1 apg), and steals (3.7 spg). Carson is one of the best shooters and scorers in this class, and she has solid handles as well. Could be a breakout summer for her!
