Averaging 16 ppg this season, Jamyrah appears to be adjusting very well to her new surroundings at Salisbury High School. The 2025 forward continues to expand on her game and is doing a great job of doing a little bit of everything for the Lady Hornets. She does a great job using her body to gain position on her opponents. She is very strong and she is not going to be bullied on the block. She can post up her opponents or she can step out and shoot the jumper. She is also a very good ball handler and can be seen leading the fast break in transition. Defensively she has been an extremely solid defender and can be seen guarding essentially every position. She gives smaller guards problems with her size and physical style of play. She is certainly going to play a huge role in helping the Lady Hornets get back to the 2A State title game this season.
