What a show for the Ohio Ms. Basketball as Dee led Purcell Marian to the state title. She had 34 in the state semis to get the Cavaliers into the finals, then the sophomore dropped 20 points in the finals shooting 9-15 from the field with 10 rebounds and a team high 3 steals. Over the two games, Dee shot 21-31 from the field with 54 points and scored whenever she wanted. She was unstoppable at the rim and brought home the gold back to Cincinnati.

She is at a different level and can take over a game at any time. Very solid around the basket, can jump out of the gym and score over her defender. Long and athletic, she can create plays and has a good mind for the game. As a sophomore, she has led Purcell Marian back to the regionals and are the favorites to repeat at state champions, only this year in Division 2.
Dee (feature photo above) is tough to score against with her wingspan and she can defend anyone on the floor
