Justyce returns for her senior season at Portage Central after earning First Team All-Conference honors as a junior, and I expect her to be an important contributor for the Mustangs this winter. The 2027 guard brings a strong attacking mentality and the ability to put consistent pressure on opposing defenses. One of the things I really like about Justyce’s game is her ability to get downhill and find creative ways to finish around the basket. She has good footwork and uses moves like the Eurostep to navigate through defenders and create scoring opportunities in traffic. Justyce also does a nice job absorbing contact while maintaining control, allowing her to finish tough shots or earn trips to the free-throw line. Her ability to consistently attack the paint forces defenders to make difficult decisions and can create problems for opposing teams. She showed those qualities while competing with Swift Elite at the Battle in the Mitten, where her ability to get to the rim stood out throughout the day. With Portage Central coming off an 11-5 conference record and a third-place finish in the SMAC, I expect Justyce’s experience and scoring ability to be valuable as the Mustangs look to challenge for the conference title this season.

Justyce, representing Swift Elite at the Battle in the Mitten, was relentless getting to the basket and finishing through contact. She showcased her footwork with a smooth Eurostep and a variety of creative finishes around the rim. Her aggressive mindset kept defenders on their heels and earned her frequent trips to the free-throw line throughout the day.

Justyce turned on the burners with her quickness to make impact plays on both ends for Team 10 at The Expo on Saturday. She elevated for a steal and pushed the ball quickly with both hands in transition. Justyce blocked away a shot attempt on a drive, secured defensive rebounds, and split defenders off the dribble before kicking the ball out for an assist. Her downhill speed off the bounce and relentless rebounding caused defenders to commit fouls in an effort to slow her down.
