After several years on varsity as a freshman and sophomore, Pierce brings experience to the court. The young guard is a selfless player who does whatever it takes for her team to win. Pierce has a great court presence on both sides of the floor and does a great job of anticipating the next play. She overplays the passing lanes and also plays aggressive defense on the ball to create turnovers.

ran the point guard position with great pace and maturity for a Sophomore. Pierce bought a calmness to the floor and the offense flowed well with her orchestrating the offense. Pierce played with a high basketball IQ on both ends of the floor. On the defensive end she also showed speed, quickness, tenacity and competitiveness – traits that allowed her to cover the opposition’s toughest player. On offense she displayed a nice shooting touch and form, connecting on a few threes during the tournament. Pierce’s stock will continue to rise

is a young player you might want to pay attention to. She is a selfless player who makes it look effortless at times. Pierce has great court presence and seems to always be in control. Smooth is the word that often comes to mind when watching the young Freshman play. Pierce plays very good defense. She has active and quick hands and does a great job of anticipating passes. She plays the passing lanes well, and has a knack for stealing it and taking it the other way. Pierce caught my eye last year and you could see the talent even in limited playing time. Her time on the court is definitely going to be increased as she is on a promising trajectory and will be a key player on a very young Fleming Island team.

is one cool customer on the court. She has very good “court-presence” and nothing looks like it’s forced when she is on the court. Pierce makes good decisions and can maneuver on the court with good ball handling skills. She gives great effort on defense and has the ability to steal it and go. She is a solid guard on both sides of the court and she continues to get better.
