Steady ballplayer who contributes all across the board. She can score from beyond the arc, but also penetrate to finish at the rim or pass to an open teammate. She contributes on the boards, gets steals, and hustles for loose ball opportunities. Her game has grown over the past year. She will be looked upon to not only knock down shots on the outside, but also contribute heavily on the defensive end as well. She will be a crucial piece to Alcoa’s program success this year.

We can say it again and again about Jacy, but her defense is fun to watch. I love her on ball pressure and natural instinct on the court. Jacy continues to impress every time that she is on the court. She’s effective and she makes sure that opponents never have any easy buckets in the backcourt. Remember, “Defense is all about heart and desire.” It does not matter what court Cox plays on, she has the heart and desire to never take a play off!

Cox is still one of my favorite athletes to watch play the game. Yes, Jacy can go get a bucket. However, her defense is so elite! I have kept Jacy in my top 5 defenders in the state of TN, and no one is taking her spot. She is one of the best 3 & D players in the state, regardless of class. You want to watch Jacy at the Elite 80, and you want to keep all eyes on her throughout her high school season!

If or when they put out an all defensive list for the Roses, we should see Jacy’s name. She continues to shine on defense. She can get coast to coast extremely fast. She showcased her ability to score by attacking downhill strong! When Cox gets hot from three point land, there is no cooling her off. I love her ability to lead and put her teammates in great positions to score. Jacy is a highly skilled athlete that continues to work! Cox will continue to trust the process, and I have no doubt that her recruitment journey will soon take off!

She provides excellent on-ball pressure. She knows how to disrupt the best offensive players. I have watched her numerous times take offensive players out of their game. She has great agility, footwork, and instincts! She has the ability to step out and knock down the long ball consistently. You can find Cox with her Trotters’ team at the Classic in Louisville, KY this weekend. Check out one of her highlights:
