EK was recently named the Defensive Player of the Year in 6AAA and rightfully so drawing the opponents best player as her assignment every night for White County. The game I saw against Chesatee was a good example why as she played tough, physical defense against their guards making it difficult to run anything or get a good shot off. Offensively, Shedd was able to get in the paint and score twice on good, confident drives to the basket. One play in particular, Ella Kate split two defenders in very tight space with a Euro Step and then gathering herself and finishing off the glass. Another good drive ended with Shedd converting a floater just inside the free throw line after getting by her defender again.
