Adams has paved the way to back-to-back 3A Upper State championship games for St. Joseph’s Catholic and she looks to continue that success for the Knights as they transition to the 2A ranks. Adams has been running with AEBL Girlz this season on the travel circuit and recently secured a Division I offer from George Mason. She is one of the premier sharpshooters in the Palmetto State and has hooped at the varsity level since she was in the seventh grade. Adams would sport St. Josephs’ Catholic’s blue hue in all 27 games last season and averaged 17.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.5 steals per game. 

A couple of days ago, Adams announced she secured another Division I offer – this one coming by way of George Mason. She has spent her travel season running with AEBL 16U EYBL which competed during the live period at Nike’s Session 2 in New Orleans. A highlight of Adams’ time at the event was draining a game-winning 3-pointer which lifted AEBL 16U EYBL to a 50-47 victory over Team Durant. Adams’ St. Joseph’s Catholic team is set to move from 3A to 2A starting next season but her play helped the Knights arrive at a second consecutive Upper State championship game. Adams averaged 17.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.5 steals in 27 games. She first played at the varsity level as a seventh grader. 

Adams and her AEBL Girlz 16U EYBL team was on hand at Session 2 in New Orleans. She participated in five games over the weekend in Louisiana. One of those contests took place on Saturday against a tough out in Team Durant. Adams is known throughout the Palmetto State as one of the premier sharpshooters in the state and that was on display in the closing moments of that contest as she splashed home a 3-pointer to earn AEBL Girlz 16U EYBL the 50-47 victory. She is set to be the centerpiece of St. Joseph’s Catholic over the next couple of seasons as the Knights drop from 3A to 2A. Adams and her team went 3-2 over the weekend. 

A young player that is all over the stat sheet. It doesn’t matter what category whether it is points, rebounds, assists, or steals. Adams is going to be at the top of the list. She is a sharpshooter that can shoot it anywhere on the court and from any range. She shoots the three balls, as well as her perimeter shots.

The way those record books at St. Joseph’s Catholic are already featuring Helmer’s name; Adams is setting herself to be all over those same books. She is finishing her fourth season playing at the varsity level sporting Knights blue and recently approached the 1,000-point plateau for her career. One of the premier sharpshooters in the state, Adams is concluding a regular season where she played in 23 games while averaging 17.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, three assists and 2.5 steals per contest. Adams was a major factor in St. Joseph’s Catholic advancing to the 3A Upper State championship last season and her team has what it takes to make an even deeper run in this year’s playoffs.

One of the state’s premier sharpshooters put herself on the statewide map years ago as a seventh grader and has only improved ever since. Following up a 2024-25 where St. Joseph’s Catholic advanced to the 3A Upper State championship game, Adams has been an on-court leader for her Knights to the tune of 18 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.6 steals per game. The most recent 3A coaches’ poll has the Knights ranked third. When the high school season concludes, her AEBL Girlz AAU team will play on Nike’s EYBL circuit throughout the spring and summer. Adams is one of seven sophomores on this season’s Knights team.

Following a 51-38 victory over SCISA 4A Heathwood Hall, Adams and her 3A St. Joseph’s Catholic assembling matched up with 5A Division 2 Chapin. Adams did what she does best to the tune of a game-high 19 points in what was a 52-39 result in favor of the Eagles. With more experience than the typical sophomore, Adams has firmly established herself as one of the premier sharpshooters in South Carolina. She will also throw defenders off balance with her rim-attacking capabilities and her ability to finish at the rim with her left hand. Screen-setting is another element to Adams’ game given she is taller than the typical two guard. St. Joseph’s Catholic will drop down to 2A starting with the 2026-27 season – and the next two years will see Adams as the on-court leader for the Knights.

Speaking of St. Joseph’s Catholic, Adams also was a key piece to the 3A Knights’ winning puzzle in 2024-25. Adams also secured an in-state Division I offer as Wofford has her on its radar. She played up in class with SC Eagles UA Rise 17U which was one of the teams that was part of the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit. Adams is one of the premier 3-point specialists in the Palmetto State. Having played at the varsity level since the seventh grade, she has a bit more experience than the average sophomore. Adams averaged 12.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and two steals a contest last season and similar – or even better – numbers will once again establish St. Joseph’s Catholic as a team to be reckoned with among the 3A field. 

Adams finished her 2025 grassroots season in Pennsylvania at the Under Armour Rise finals. Her team finished 4-2 in the Keystone State in large because of Adams’ play. When guarding the rising star from 3A St. Joseph’s Catholic, the main thing one has to look out for is her ability to make 3-pointers. Adams also knows when to score and when to pass and has no issues setting up her teammates to make plays given how gifted a ball distributor she is. Handles are another plus to her game and she is taller than many guards at 5-foot-10. Adams has played at the varsity level since she was a seventh grader and averaged 12.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and two steals a contest for the Knights who were 3A Upper State finalists last season. 

Anyone who has seen Adams play over the years can certainly come to the conclusion that while she may be a 2028 she is more than worthy of testing her skills against more experienced competition. It is one thing to be a one or a two guard – it is entirely another to be a one or a two who stands at 5-foot-10. Add in her proficient ability to drain her attempts from 3-point range and Adams is particularly difficult to game plan against. She seamlessly fuses together long-range shooting abilities with ball handling skills. St. Joseph’s Catholic was a 3A Upper State finalist last season in large part because it is one of the premier 3-point shooting teams in the state and one can expect that to continue in the 2025-26 season.
