A shifty point guard, Clyde’s tenacious defense and high pressure on the opposing teams’ guards led to multiple transition points for the Falcons. She sees the court very well for her size and had a number of assists off a drive and kick rotation to start the Falcons offensive movement. She also recognizes her own shot well and hit a number of threes with a quick catch and shoot.

Even without the ball, Clyde’s presence helped move her team offensively. She directed her teammates into better scoring positions and was constantly setting screens off ball.

A new find on Saturday was Emma. She sees passing lanes that other players don’t, delivering passes into windows that most players wouldn’t even attempt. Her court vision and feel for the game stood out immediately.

She handles the ball with confidence and composure, and defenses quickly learned that leaving her open is a mistake she is capable of making them pay for. On the defensive end, she was equally impressive. Tasked with guarding one of the more relentless offensive players on the floor, she stayed disciplined, competed through every possession, and helped hold her assignment to limited production.

Her combination of playmaking, poise, and defensive effort makes her a player worth keeping an eye on moving forward.
