Sanderson recently chose her college home committing to D2 Carson Newman over schools like Valdosta State, Shorter, and West Georgia. Jace is without question one of the very best shooters in the state of Georgia, regardless of classification, and has been for a couple years. She has also been All Region and named MVP of multiple holiday tournaments for Gilmer County over the last three seasons. At nearly six feet tall, Sanderson should have no problem scoring at the rim to go with her prolific shooting in her final season allowing her to continue to add to her career point total. With the very talented McKenna Turner (’29) in the same backcourt, teams cannot focus all of their attention on Sanderson which should allow for some big games scoring the basketball. Gilmer has a chance to make a deep run in the playoffs this season with Jace leading that very skilled and talented duo.

Long, lengthy guard can play 1-3. Always a threat to shoot the three. Smooth athlete with the ball. Has footwork to free herself off the dribble on drives and pull-ups. Shoots well over screens. Georgia Southwestern has offered.

The long guard is good at getting to her pull-up jumper. Jace shoots over smaller defenders off the bounce and will turn the corner to draw fouls downhill. She has good range on her three-point shot and is becoming an all-around impact maker with her improved defense. Sanderson collected 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in a 46-42 OT win against Rabun County.

Polished scorer with a smooth shooting stroke. Gets into her shot quickly off movement. Effective from deep, in the mid-range, and at the rim. Has crafty footwork and excellent touch on pull-ups and floaters. Improving as a ball handler and creator. Long guard who’s adding strength—has three-level scoring potential and defensive versatility.

Rainbow stroke three from the corner, excellent shooting mechanics! Shows patience with her decisions, makes the extra pass- unselfish baller! I like her mid-range jumper.  Beats her opponents off the dribble. Plays under control!

Don’t be surprised if Jace’s production comes close to All-State caliber. She’s a lights out shooter both off the catch and dribble. She will get a ton of open looks in the flex offense and off of Iverson cuts. Sanderson has a big future ahead.

Up from No. 65: Dangerous three-point shooter off the catch and off the dribble. Has substantial range. If ran off the line, Sanderson is smooth enough to make a move and get to the rim with both hands.

Plays multiple roles for her team, and is a flat out hustler. She has a natural stride to get up and down the court. In transition, she understands that running the floor will reward her with a layup. Her 3 point shot is as natural as her stride. I’m confident Sanderson will have a break out season as she enters her first season at Gilmer.

The first play that made brought my attention to Sandserson was when she was posting on the low block and she finished an up and under move. She held the ball high as she pivoted to find room to jump up and release a high release shot. She also can shoot the 3 off the bounce as she went 3/3 from beyond the arc in an early 3×3 game. She will also use her size to get inside and rebound.

The sharpshooter netted four threes en route to 16 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals. Her quick release and deep range are staples of her game.
