Jozie is a 5’10” left-handed wing with a high IQ and awareness that shows on both ends of the floor. She uses quick, active hands to pick pockets and create turnovers. She also passes the ball well and is a strong finisher at the basket. A versatile player who contributes across the board.

Jozie delivers consistent production in the paint every night. She controls the glass, protects the rim, finishes strong inside, and confidently hits the mid range jumper. A true interior anchor.

remains one of the most versatile forwards in the 4th Region. Before her injury, she averaged 14.6 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, piling up double-doubles and leading Metcalfe County to a 16th District championship. Once she’s back at full strength, expect Allen’s leadership, energy, and all-around skill to help the Lady Hornets push for a 4th Region crown.

is producing at a high level for Metcalfe County this season averaging a team-leading 16.6 points and 9.3 rebounds a game. Her combination of size, skill, and basketball IQ really works in her favor. She can finish in the paint in a variety of ways and has a nice stroke from the mid-range and from deep. Josie can guard multiple positions on the defensive side of the floor and she is very good at collecting rebounds.
Notable Performances:
26 points, 12 rebounds vs South Warren
27 points, 9 rebounds vs Edmondson County
17 points, 12 rebounds vs Cumberland County

was the 2nd leading scorer (12.2 PPG) and rebounder (6.9 RPG) for the Lady Hornets last season. Jozie scores at a high percentage in the post and can space the floor with her perimeter shooting. She can also guard positions 1-5 on defense. She is another player that I see being higher on the list when the next update rolls around.

Read EvaluationJoshua Mercer | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Allen has a strong body. a ton of skills and a great motor. She was in the mix all day but was just a little outsized in both of the matchups I saw her in. There were taller players in that paint with her that she had some trouble rebounding against and she played on a team that had several good rebounders. I don’t think anybody was keeping stats but surely her stats suffered in this particular arrangement. The paint was crowded all day with players that make their way on the glass all fighting for just one ball. But I do have to encourage Allen to be just a little more aggressive pushing people around to get more opportunities for herself to shine. Her team more than any other would have benefitted from some practice time to organize their Defense and define everyone’s role.
Despite the struggles it was clear to me that she can play. She can do a little bit of everything and has the desire to compete. I think that is what I noticed most. When some Giant took the rebound or a teammate already had that ball she just moved on to the next thing she could do to help the team. She did all of the right things to try to get open for the three, to post-up for some touches, to seal off her defender to get some offensive boards, but too often the ball just did not go her way. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that she was a bit frustrated that when she was open she didn’t get the ball. She moves on the perimeter like someone that knows how to light it up. Maybe she is more of a Stretch player and just didn’t get to show that off. I don’t know. But I saw enough to know she is good and that is all she needed to show Saturday.

Jozie played both inside and out on Saturday and looked comfortable doing both. Her ballhandling was solid and will only get better. She didn’t shoot a ton of threes but her form was good and looks like she will only get more comfortable as a three level scorer as her game develops. Allen also showed a good ability to rebound that will serve her well, long term.
