About Josi
Expert Analysis
BJ Batson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Josi is one of, if not the best, unsigned seniors in Georgia. She recently became the all time leading scorer at ACS with over 1500 career points. Vaughn is nearly automatic shooting the ball from three point range and a few feet beyond. She is efficient and effective in one on one isolation plays where she creates space with her handle to shoot or penetrate. Josi finishes extremely well around the rim. She operated as a combo guard playing for her dad at ACS, and could do the same or specialize as a point guard or shooting guard at the next level. She is a natural scorer who has great basketball intelligence. Josi will be a steal for whichever school signs her. Expect to see her selected for and shine in postseason all star exhibitions.

Vaughn continues to put up big scoring for numbers for Athens Christian at both the point guard position and on the wings. She moves extremely well without the ball cutting off of her teammates screens and only needs a quick look before the ball is out of her hands and in the air heading towards the basket. Vaughn has a very quick release and her range extends far beyond the three point line. She was also very good in transition and in the half court getting to basket and scoring or drawing fouls. Vaughn is an elite guard who has Division one skill and ability.

Up from 78: Outside shooting has become more consistent along with her ball handling against pressure. Quick playmaker gets to her spots. Racks up steals as a perimeter defender.

Up from No. 63: Getting better handling the ball vs. pressure. Confident creating separation off the dribble to free herself for three-point shots. Good straight-line driver that can exploit defenses that are afraid to step up and help off Athens Christian’s bigs.

Tiny guard that had some explosive scoring games. Can shoot the three and is good in transition. Getting better every game with more and more reps.

Seeing the press of Rabun County will only help Josi as she continues to get varsity experience. The freshman is on the smaller side, but handles the ball well. Josi’s main source of offense came on drives, finishing with low scoop layups and unorthodox flip shots. Vaughn has good bloodlines and should develop into one of the area’s better playmakers. She had 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 1 block.
